AutoQuotes is the new standard for finding, quoting, estimating, specifying, and purchasing Catering Equipment.

The following questions and answers will help you decide on whether AutoQuotes is right for you and your organization.

What can AutoQuotes can do for my company?

• Save you time by automating the quoting and purchasing processes
• Eliminate the need for printed catalogues and price lists
• Drastically reduce errors
• Never lose money with outdated pricing again

My company has our own internal quotation system that we created. Why should we use AutoQuotes?

• Whenever a manufacturer changes a price, it’s automatically updated in AutoQuotes (someone has to maintain this for you in your system)
• When an item has configuration options and accessories, AutoQuotes takes you step by step through those options so that you don’t make mistakes
• AutoQuotes has images to make product identification easier
• AutoQuotes shows you equivalent items with the click of a button
• AutoQuotes includes spec sheets, installation manuals, parts catalogues, etc. – it’s a one-stop source for Catering Equipment information

My company sometimes uses a quotation system that one of our manufacturers provided. Why should we use AutoQuotes?

• A manufacturer-specific quotation system is only good for quoting product from that manufacturer.
• AutoQuotes is an industry-wide system and will include product from all Catering Equipment manufacturers.

My company is really small, we only have a limited number of people that do quotes, and we use Excel® spreadsheets. Why should we use AutoQuotes?

• Using an Excel® spreadsheet for quotations limits the product selection in your quotation (because you cut and paste from your last quotation to save time).
• AutoQuotes gives you the entire industry at your fingertips and allows you to quickly and easily find equivalent items.
• Using Excel® spreadsheets for quotations does not easily facilitate project tracking and management.
• >AutoQuotes has project management and tracking built into the programme.
• With Excel® spreadsheets, you still have to rely on outdated printed catalogues and price lists./li>
• In AutoQuotes, the pricing is always up-to-date, allowing you to eliminate the need for printed catalogues and price lists.
• >With Excel® spreadsheets, you have to update the pricing in your quotation manually whenever there is a price change.
• With AutoQuotes, you can update the pricing in your quotation with the click of a button.

Service Geeni’s Service Management Software offers a comprehensive solution for organisations that service catering equipment. By using Service Geeni, catering equipment organisations can streamline their operations, improve customer satisfaction, and increase overall efficiency.

Here’s a detailed look at how Service Geeni benefits these organisations:

Key Benefits of Service Geeni Service Management Software

1. Job Management

Service Geeni helps your team manage jobs and work orders easily. Efficiently manage your service, installation, repair and hire contract with ease. What’s more, because everyone has access to the latest job updates, in real-time, your customers will always know what’s happening – leading to higher levels of satisfaction and efficiency.

2. Enhanced Scheduling and Dispatching

Service Geeni offers advanced scheduling and dispatching features that optimise the allocation of your engineers. From planned maintenance and larger-scale projects to urgent fixes. With an attractive, user-friendly interface, we help you to balance your work schedule, so you can deliver the best service possible, to all your customers.

3. Improved Stock Management

For organisations servicing catering equipment, having the right parts available is crucial. Service Geeni’s stock management system tracks parts usage and stock levels in real-time, with automatic reordering, to ensure minimal downtime due to part shortages. This ensures that engineers have the necessary parts to complete their jobs first time, without delays.

4. Real-Time Updates and Mobile Access

Engineers can access Service Geeni via mobile devices, allowing them to receive real-time updates on job assignments, access equipment service history, and input job details while on-site. Our advanced mobile app ensures that engineers have the information they need at their fingertips, improving job efficiency and customer satisfaction.

5. Comprehensive Invoicing

Too many businesses spend too much of their valuable time on repetitive and manual tasks. However, with our invoicing functionality, and the opportunity to integrate with third party tools such as QuickBooks, Sage and Xero, the admin load is significantly reduced. When an engineer marks a job as complete, an invoice can be raised and issued automatically, meaning fewer invoicing delays and better cashflow. You’ll even get improved accuracy of information as you’ll no longer need to rekey handwritten job sheets.

6. Asset Management

Keeping a complete inventory of your equipment and assets is essential to meet safety and compliance requirements. What’s more, without knowing what you have, where, and in what condition, it’s impossible to ensure efficient working practices. At Service Geeni, our asset management module gives your business a clear overview of what equipment is where, so you always know what you have, and when maintenance needs to happen. By having all this information in one place, organisations can ensure data accuracy and accessibility, reducing the risk of errors and miscommunication.

7. Quick, Accurate Quoting

Busy catering equipment organisations have to cost a range of scheduled and reactive work. From planned maintenance and larger-scale projects to urgent fixes. With an attractive, user-friendly interface, Service Geeni helps you to quote more accurately, and keep track of costs. Allowing you to win more jobs, improve forecasting, and ultimately, boost your profitability.

Why Use Us?

Service Geeni Service Management Software is a powerful tool for catering equipment organisations, offering numerous benefits such as enhanced scheduling, improved inventory management, real-time updates, and comprehensive reporting. By using Service Geeni, you can optimise your operations, provide better customer service, and maintain high standards of efficiency and reliability in your service delivery.
