Hey guys, quick question. I got so sick of sitting in my truck typing out equipment sheets after long service calls that my buddy who’s in school for computer science actually built a basic tool for me. I just upload my shop's Excel price sheet, hold down a mic button, and talk the repair specs into it. It turns my voice note into a finished client quote PDF in like 20 seconds.

He's launching it soon but letting a few field guys test it out for cheap first. Would anyone here actually use something like this, or am I just lazy?

running 7 techs across 2 locations right now and i'm still the one handling dispatch, scheduling, and follow-ups on top of everything else. missed a $3k estimate follow-up last week because i was slammed.

had two guys overlap on the same job the week before. not sure if i need to hire someone dedicated or just get a better system in place first. what did you guys do when you hit this stage?
