What is your quoting admin costing you?
The evening paperwork nobody bills for. Put in how many quotes you send and how long each one really takes, and see it as hours a week, working days a year, and money.
Both times are yours to set — the second is your estimate of the same quote produced from the survey before you leave site, not a claim about what any software achieves.

Why it never feels like that much
Because it never happens in one sitting. It is forty minutes after tea on Tuesday, an hour on Sunday morning, twenty minutes in the van while the kettle boils on site. Each one feels like nothing. Five quotes a week at ninety minutes each is seven and a half hours — a working day, every week, unpaid and invisible.
The point of measuring it is not to feel bad about it. It is that once it has a number on it you can compare it with things that cost money, and decide honestly which is the better use of a Sunday.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to quote an air-conditioning job?
Installers typically report somewhere between one and two hours from site notes to a sent document — sizing the rooms, pricing the units and labour, writing it up and formatting it. It is rarely one block of time, which is why it is easy to underestimate: it is twenty minutes at the kitchen table, four evenings a week.
Is the time saving on this page a claim about Vento?
No. Both figures are yours. The second box asks for your own estimate of how long the same quote would take if it were produced from the survey before you left site, and you can set it to whatever you think is realistic — including the same as now, which returns zero. We have no customer evidence to put behind a specific saving, so we do not assert one.
Should I value my own time at my charge-out rate?
It is the most useful number for this, because an hour on paperwork is an hour not on the tools or on a survey. If you would rather see a floor, use what you would pay someone else to do the same admin — the answer will be smaller and still worth looking at.
