Quoting and phones, handled.
Qiub builds two things for service businesses. A quoting agent that prices work from your own numbers, and a receptionist that answers every call and books the job. Take one, or both.
Placeholder clip. Swap hero.mp4 for a client saying what changed. Nothing else needs editing.
Watch it price a job.
This is the whole loop, in the order it actually happens. Four stages, about twenty seconds, and a person at the end of it.
Who we build for.
These are the areas we serve. The common thread is simple — work comes in faster than anyone can answer it, and the person best placed to reply is the one who has least time.
The AI never does the maths. It only decides what the job is.
Every number on every quote comes out of a calculator reading your price book. That is why the same request always produces the same figure, why you can audit it, and why it cannot invent a price it likes the look of.
Someone on your team is a human copy-and-paste machine.
An email comes in. Somebody opens it, reads it, pulls out the numbers, looks something up, retypes it somewhere else. Two hundred times a week. Real skill, can't be skipped, produces nothing new.
We build a system that does that job. It reads the document, pulls out what matters, checks it against your own records, and prepares the next step — then puts it in front of a person to approve.
- A person opens each email or PDF
- Reads it and finds the right numbers
- Looks them up in another program
- Retypes it somewhere else
- Sends it on, then does it again
- The system reads it the moment it arrives
- Pulls the numbers and checks your records
- Drafts the quote, order or record
- Flags anything that doesn't add up
- Your person approves instead of retyping
Nobody loses their job. They stop doing the part a machine should have been doing.
You already know which job this is.
You don't need to understand the technology to spot the opportunity. If any of these describe a process in your company, it's a candidate.
The same information gets typed into two different programs because they don't talk to each other.
Quotes go out a day late because one person has to build every one of them by hand.
Someone opens PDFs all morning and copies numbers into a spreadsheet.
When that person is on vacation, the whole process backs up until they return.
You've been quoted six figures and a nine-month timeline to fix it properly, so it never got fixed.
None of these need a new company-wide system. They need one process, done properly, wired into the programs you already run. That is the entire scope of what we do.
What it costs you to keep doing it by hand.
Move the sliders. Left is the quoting engine, right is the receptionist. These are your numbers, not ours.
Nothing recovers all of it. Set this to whatever you actually believe, and every number below moves with it.
Two months of the year, spent turning descriptions into numbers.
Most of these ring a competitor within the hour.
Both, together.
Both leaks are large enough to carry the cost, and buying them together is cheaper than buying them one after the other.
One pricing brain. Every surface reads from it.
We build the engine once, on your labour rates, your markups, your supplier pricing and your rules. Then we put doors on it. Start with one door and add the others when you're ready.
Don't take our word for it. Go and use one.
A working quoting agent on a sample HVAC price book. Describe a job the way a customer would. Then try to break it — that part is the point.

Your staff
A page your team logs into. They type the job in and get the full breakdown back — parts, labour, markup, fees, tax and the margin on the job.
Your website
A chat bubble in the corner of your site. Customers describe the job and get an estimated range plus a booking slot, without waiting for you.
Your phone line
A receptionist that answers every call, day or night, and quotes on the call from the same engine your staff use. Then books the job itself.
It asks. It doesn't guess.
A system that quietly gets a number wrong is worse than no system at all.
So every one we build has thresholds. When a document is unclear, a price is missing, a part isn't recognised, or a total falls outside the range we'd expect, the work stops and goes to a named person with the reason attached. Nothing that matters gets sent, posted or paid without a human approving it.
Residential shops
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, auto repair. Five to fifteen trucks, where the owner still prices anything unusual himself.
Commercial contractors
Commercial mechanical, machine shops, commercial roofing. Firms bidding $50k jobs off spec sheets with a dedicated estimator.
Not a fit
One-truck operations, and anyone whose pricing is already a fixed published list. If a spreadsheet solves it, we'll tell you on the call.
You sign off on every number before it goes live.
Nothing goes live until you have watched it price ten of your own jobs and agreed with every number.
Your price book
A session or two with whoever prices work now. Your labour rate, book times, markup bands, trip charge, minimums and fees, pulled into one file. Most shops have never written any of it down — it lives in the owner's head. That extraction is the part nobody else does for you.
The build
Two to four weeks. Then the ten-job test: you quote ten jobs by hand, the engine quotes the same ten, and we correct it until the numbers match yours. It goes live when you say it's right, not when we say it's finished.
Running it
Suppliers change prices, you add a service, a rate goes up. We keep it accurate and send a monthly summary of what it quoted and what it flagged. Month to month, thirty days' notice.
Shops where the owner still prices the work.
A two-truck plumbing shop and a two-hundred-person distributor have the same problem in different sizes: somebody spends their day reading things and typing them somewhere else. The industry changes what the documents look like. It doesn't change the work.
So we don't have a list of industries we serve. We have one question — is the same task being done by hand, over and over, by someone whose time is worth more than that?
Trades and service
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest control, auto shops. Quotes, work orders, technician notes, invoices, scheduling.
Offices and practices
Dental, medical, veterinary, legal, accounting, insurance, real estate. Intake forms, records, claims, billing, document review.
Trade and supply
Distributors, supply houses, manufacturers, job shops, logistics and freight. Purchase orders, invoice matching, bids, inventory, shipping paperwork.
Anything else
If your business runs on paperwork that someone re-enters by hand, it fits. Tell us the task and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth automating.
Slow quotes lose jobs. That's the whole argument.
Not efficiency, not technology. Jobs you already had a shot at, going to whoever answered first.
These are widely cited industry figures from field-service software vendors and trade publications, not our own data. We don't pretend they say anything about your shop specifically. What they do say is that speed decides who wins the job, and speed is the one thing a system beats a person at.
Do the sum for your own shop.
How many hours a week does someone spend building quotes by hand?
How much is one replacement job worth to you, on average?
How many of those did you lose last year because the quote went out two days late?
Answer those honestly and you already know whether this is worth it. If one extra won job a quarter covers the cost, the maths is not close. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that on the call and neither of us wastes a month.
Take one. Or take both.
A one-time fee to build it around your numbers, then a monthly fee to keep it accurate as your prices and services change. No licence fee, no charge per user, and nobody takes a share of the work it wins you.

Answers, and quotes on the call
The two together, so the phone can price the work.
Then $1,500/month. Month to month, thirty days' notice.
- Everything in both products above
- A real estimate given live on the call
- One price book behind every surface
- Books the job into your calendar
- Reporting on what it quoted and what it flagged
Adding the second one later
Most shops start with one. If you already have the quoting engine and want the phone line on top, it's $2,500 to build and $400/month added to what you pay now — less than buying it on its own, because your price book already exists.
Several branches or multiple trades runs $15–20k to build and $2,000–2,500/month, quoted on locations and trades.
What you're not paying for
No licence fee, no charge per user, and no percentage of the work it wins you. The running costs — the usage charges from the services it runs on — sit in your own account, on your card, so you can see exactly what it costs to operate. For most builds that lands between fifty and a few hundred dollars a month, and it's yours to inspect any time.
Every build is scoped on the call before anyone signs anything. If your process doesn't justify the cost, we'll tell you then rather than after.
Writing quotes back into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber depends on that vendor approving the connection to your account, which is their decision and not ours. We confirm what your particular system allows before we quote you, and we never assume it.
Straight answers.
It can't send anything at all. The system builds a draft and puts it in front of a person — nothing leaves your business without someone on your team approving it. On the customer-facing side it gives an estimated range, never a binding number, and always ends with one of your people confirming. It is an estimator's assistant, not a replacement for the estimator.
You are, and that's written into the agreement before we build anything. The system produces preliminary estimates to save your team time; your people verify every figure before it goes out or gets submitted on a bid. That isn't us avoiding responsibility — it's the only honest way to build this, and any vendor telling you otherwise is selling you a problem.
Usually read access to one mailbox and one or two programs. The least access the job needs, in accounts you create and control, and you can revoke it in a moment, and we list exactly what's required before you agree to anything.
It stays in accounts in your name. We don't copy it out, we don't use it to train anything, and we don't reuse it for other clients. If we stop working together, you keep the system, the records and the accounts.
That's not what we build for, and it's not usually what happens. The people doing this work are the ones who know the process well enough to catch errors, which makes them the ones reviewing the output. What goes away is the retyping. What's left is the judgement.
Two to four weeks from the price-book session to going live, depending on how many systems it touches. You'd typically have something running within two months of the first call.
No. The build is a one-time fee. The monthly is month to month with thirty days' notice, and the system stays yours either way.
Tell us about the job nobody wants to do.
Twenty minutes on the phone. Describe the process, roughly how often it runs and who does it, and we'll tell you straight whether it's worth automating — before anyone talks about money.
For owners, office managers and operations leaders. Two trucks or two hundred — if the same task is being done by hand every day, it’s worth a conversation.
