If you have sets of products or services that are often quoted together, you have two options.
- Create kits and add them to the quote when needed
- Create a template quote that already has the items on
What you should know:
The concept of pre-built templates runs throughout Zigaflow, you will also find these within other modules such as Jobs, Invoices, Purchase orders etc.
The key purposes of these are;
- To save time
- To ensure the correct word document templates are used on particular quotations, order confirmations (Jobs), invoices etc.
- To ensure that items such as delivery charges are included on all quotes
- To communicate relevant information based on the type of business
How can these be applied?
These templates can be used in conjunction with Zigaflow's automations, to ensure that the correct documentation is included based on variables you set within your system.
As an example, a quotation has been accepted over a particular value, for a particular client and the Business Type is "Installation".
You can create an "Installation" Job template which includes a templates for RAMS documentation that is only relevant to Installation.
This means an automation can be created which says;
- When quotation status is changed to "Accepted"
- If Business Type contains "Installation"
- and if value is over £10,000
- and company is tagged as "requires RAMS"
- Create a Job using "Installation Template"
