Reusable templates
Create centrally managed templates that can be updated by administrators so all teams use the latest approved language and pricing without redistributing files manually.
Using a dedicated proposal template speeds preparation, reduces errors, and ensures every estimate includes required scope, pricing, and contract language for easy client review and signature.
A service manager configures reusable proposal templates with standardized terms, pricing tables, and approval workflows. They ensure each proposal includes required insurance, warranty language, and tax calculations so field teams can send accurate estimates quickly and consistently.

The template and signing process work across modern web browsers and mobile operating systems with standard connectivity.

If using offline signing, configure local sync settings so captured signatures upload to the cloud when connectivity resumes and audit logs remain complete.
