Demo shop with sample data

For customers who aren’t standing at your counter.

RV owners drop the rig and leave. Calling them for every job means voicemail, callbacks and a rig sitting in the bay. RVDesk puts the decision in their hand and records exactly what they agreed to.

Build it once, right

The estimate is the work order: the same jobs, labor, parts and fees end up on the invoice.

  • Jobs with labor, parts and shop fees, taxed the way your shop is set up
  • Canned jobs for the work you quote every week
  • Keep a job off the customer’s copy until you’re ready to show it

Estimate questions

Does the customer need an account to approve?

No. They open the link and approve. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

Can they approve part of an estimate?

Yes. Approval is per job, so a customer can take the slide seal now and leave the roof for spring.

What if they want something changed?

They can request changes from the same screen. It comes back attached to the work order.

Is the approval recorded?

Yes, with a timestamp and their signature, against the work order.

See an estimate go out and come back approved.
