Automate your SimPRO solar quoting workflow

Managing solar quotes in SimPRO shouldn't mean drowning in manual data entry and chasing follow-ups. You're probably spending 3-4 hours creating each detailed solar quote, copying customer details from your CRM, calculating system sizes, updating pricing, and formatting everything to look professional. Then you're manually following up prospects who don't respond immediately, watching good leads go cold because you forgot to call them back. Gridwolf's SimPRO solar quoting workflow automation connects your existing systems to eliminate the tedious admin work that's keeping you from focusing on what actually makes money.

Manual quote creation eating your day

You're spending hours copying customer details, system specs, and pricing between different platforms just to get one quote out the door. A typical 6.6kW residential quote means pulling customer data from your lead management system, checking roof space calculations, updating panel and inverter prices, calculating STC rebates, and formatting everything in SimPRO's templates. Every manual transfer is another chance for errors that can cost you jobs or profit margins. One wrong inverter model or outdated panel price can make you look unprofessional or blow your margins completely.

Quotes sitting in SimPRO limbo

Half your quotes never get followed up properly because there's no automated system to track where they're at or nudge customers along. You send out a quote on Monday, meaning to follow up on Wednesday, but three new site inspections come in and you forget. Meanwhile, your prospect is comparing your quote with two competitors who are calling them every few days. You're losing deals simply because they're falling through the cracks in your workflow. Good solar leads are expensive - you can't afford to let them die from neglect.

Pricing updates breaking everything

When panel prices change or new products come in, you're manually updating dozens of quote templates and hoping you didn't miss any. Solar equipment pricing changes monthly, especially with exchange rate fluctuations and supply chain issues. You've got quote templates for different system sizes, roof types, and customer segments scattered across SimPRO. One outdated price can blow your margins or make you look unprofessional to customers. Even worse, you might quote old pricing and have to explain why the final invoice is different.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

Before automation, your Monday morning starts with checking which quotes are overdue for follow-up, manually updating pricing spreadsheets with new costs from distributors, and spending the first two hours creating quotes for Friday's site inspections. You're always playing catch-up and worried you've missed something important.

After Gridwolf automation, Monday morning looks different. Your system has already followed up all weekend quotes with personalised emails, updated all pricing based on Sunday night distributor feeds, and pre-populated quote templates with Friday's inspection data. You walk into three ready-to-send quotes that just need your final approval.

Throughout the week, every new lead automatically flows from your website or referral system into SimPRO with all contact details populated. When you complete a site inspection, the system calculates optimal system sizes, applies current pricing, and generates a professional quote. Follow-up emails go out automatically at 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks if customers haven't responded, keeping your pipeline active without manual intervention.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this integrate with our existing solar design software like Aurora or PVsell?

Yes, Gridwolf can pull system specifications and energy calculations from most solar design platforms and automatically populate SimPRO quotes. This eliminates copying system specs manually between different software platforms and reduces errors in technical specifications.

How does automated pricing handle STC certificate values and different installer accreditation levels?

Our system connects to the Clean Energy Regulator's STC calculator and updates certificate values weekly. It also applies different pricing tiers based on your CEC accreditation level and preferred supplier agreements, ensuring quotes always reflect your actual buying power and rebate entitlements.

What happens when customers want to modify system sizes or add battery storage after receiving the initial quote?

The automation can generate alternative quotes instantly when you update system parameters in SimPRO. If a customer wants to increase from 6.6kW to 10kW, or add a Tesla Powerwall, the system recalculates everything including new STC values, different inverter requirements, and updated installation timeframes automatically.
