Comparison
Hand-built PDF and Word quotes are rewritten for every job, with pricing typed by hand and no record of what was sent. A quoting engine built on your own service catalog replaces that work.

Summary
Manual quoting leaves pricing and follow-up in individual documents. DREKAR CRM keeps quotes, approvals, deposits, scheduled jobs, and invoices connected to the same record.
Quotes are built from saved service catalogs and aircraft records, so most operators send them in a few minutes instead of rebuilding a document.
Yes. Public quote links, e-signature, deposits, and in-platform job creation cover the workflow end to end.
