Using AI in a soda blasting business, from survey to quotation
After a survey, dictate the substrate, coating, access and agreed finish.

In short
After a survey, dictate the substrate, coating, access and agreed finish. AI can turn those notes into a draft quotation and flag missing information. The operator checks the actual test patch, chooses the medium and approves the price before the document goes to the customer.
From survey notes to the next enquiry
File the accepted job with photographs, media consumption, working time and handover notes. The next time a similar enquiry arrives, use that record to ask better questions. An approved before-and-after pair can also illustrate what your proposed service actually delivers.
For example, a survey note saying “painted brick, access from courtyard, sample awaiting approval” can become three quotation items. Keep the sample decision open. Once the client accepts it, add the agreed finish, actual time and a photograph to the record.
