In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to swiftly turn potential opportunities into confirmed business can greatly impact the bottom line. Consider a service-based company that frequently provides quotes for a range of services. Each quote represents potential business. When customers are ready to proceed, time is of the essence; customers appreciate a fast and efficient booking process. A landscape contractor who has provided a detailed quote for a garden makeover can seal the deal faster if they can immediately turn the quote into a booking once the client approves. A cleaning company can capitalize on an office cleaning quote when they can instantly book the services upon the client’s confirmation.

OctopusPro enables you to convert quotes to bookings effortlessly, whether you’re an administrator or the customer itself. Yes, your customers can also convert their quotes into bookings via the customer portal, provided this feature is enabled in your account. This smooth transition not only optimizes your business operations but also provides an enhanced customer experience.
