Request and preliminary calculation in Ulteama
The “Inquiry and Preliminary Estimate” module in Ulteama provides a repair workshop with a standardized way to receive clients and record all details of the initial inquiry. The system allows for quickly entering a description of the issue, determining the list of work and required materials, generating a preliminary estimate, and saving all information in a unified card. This ensures control, transparency, and a consistent level of service for each client.
What is a "lead" and why should it be recorded in CRM?
An inquiry is any initial contact a customer makes with a company. At this stage:
- The client describes symptoms or issues
- The manager asks clarifying questions;
- Initial assessment of the situation takes place;
- Expectations regarding cost and timelines are set;
- The client receives basic consultation.
In CRM Ulteama, each inquiry becomes a structured record that includes:
- client’s contact information;
- description of the issue;
- photos or videos (if sent via messenger);
- preliminary estimate;
- estimated cost of work;
- potential components that may be needed;
- agreements that have already been discussed;
- status of the request and responsible person.
All of this helps to avoid confusion, loss of information, and misinterpretations—especially when the client returns or when their case is handed over to another manager.
Previous estimate: why it is needed and what it includes
Pre-estimate is an approximate calculation of possible works, spare parts and materials that may be needed during the repair.
The purpose of the preliminary calculation is:
- provide the client with a realistic view of the cost before the Repair;
- prepare the master to understand the scale and complexity of the future work;
- document agreements to avoid situations of “you mentioned a different price”;
- understand the availability of parts or the need to order them;
- plan the service workload in advance.
In a good CRM, the preliminary estimate should include:
- list of works;
- possible repair options;
- initial assessment of the situation is carried out;
- approximate cost of each work;
- cost of components;
- completion time;
- preliminary overall estimate.
Integration with inventory and the ability to calculate spare parts or components
One of the key elements of this module is the calculation of materials for repair.
Manager can:
– independently search for the necessary parts;
– send a request to the parts department;
– check the stock availability;
– forecast deadlines;
– promptly update the cost in the estimate.
This allows you to respond to the client immediately:
– how much does the repair cost;
– what parts are needed;
– how long to wait;
– what are the alternatives and their cost.
Communication with clients through integrated messengers
The module of appeals often integrates with:
- Viber
- Telegram
This allows:
- Sending a preliminary estimate to the client in two clicks;
- Exchanging photos and videos;
- Keeping the entire conversation history inside CRM;
It is here that modern CRM systems outperform Excel, notebooks, and chaotic correspondence.
At the heart of this chain, CRM Ulteama works particularly effectively, allowing the manager to quickly create inquiries, prepare preliminary estimates, find components for repair and send an invoice to the client without leaving the system.

Why does CRM ticket control increase service profit
Statistics on workshops show that approximately 30-40% of potential clients are lost at the inquiry stage if the system is not working:
- forgot to call back;
- did not save the contact;
- lost the correspondence;
- quoted a different price;
- did not document the agreement;
- did not make a preliminary calculation;
- took a long time to calculate the parts.
The CRM module helps to address these issues and allows:
- increase conversion of inquiries into actual repairs;
- improve response time;
- make the service transparent;
- avoid conflicts due to “you said a different price”;
- create a database of all clients and all inquiries.
Module "Inquiries and Preliminary Calculation"
one of the most important tools in modern CRM for repair workshops. It allows to quickly and professionally receive clients, record all key information, create preliminary estimates, calculate spare parts and components, and effectively communicate through messengers.
This increases trust, transparency, speed, and conversion. And most importantly, it allows the repair workshop to work systematically, without losses and chaos.
Request tracking software for systematic work with customer inquiries
When requests come in from different channels — from the website, by phone, through messengers — without a unified system it is easy to lose some of the inquiries. Request tracking software helps collect all requests in one space and bring order to the work with them.
Each request is recorded, receives a status, a responsible person, and is saved in the history. As a result, the business operates more smoothly: inquiries are not lost, and clients receive timely responses. This exact approach is implemented in Ulteama, where request tracking is built around real working processes rather than formal reports.
Request processing software without chaos and unnecessary workload
Effective request processing software should simplify managers’ work, not complicate it. Fast creation of requests, clear status logic, and access to all information save the team’s time.
In Ulteama, managers always see:
- new and current requests;
- deadlines and responsible employees;
- comments and processing history.
This format of work makes it possible to process more requests without increasing staff and reduces the number of errors.
Software for tracking clients and requests in a single system
Separate tracking of clients and requests often leads to confusion. Software for tracking clients and requests combines all data in one interface and makes work transparent.
In Ulteama, each request is linked to a client card. It is easy to quickly view the history of inquiries, previous orders, and interaction details. This simplifies repeat inquiries, improves the level of service, and helps build long-term relationships. Essentially, it is not just request tracking software, but a full-fledged tool for working with a client base.
CRM for requests and control of key processes
A modern CRM for requests is needed not only for storing information, but also for process management. The manager gets a clear picture: how many requests are coming in, how quickly they are processed, and at which stages delays occur.
CRM requests in Ulteama allow analysis of:
- manager efficiency;
- request sources;
- team workload;
- conversion of inquiries into deals.
Such a CRM for requests helps make decisions based on data rather than intuition.
