# How can a trades or field service business use AI to turn site visit notes and photos into a quote the same day?

Start with your own price list and standard line items, kept current by the person who owns pricing. After a site visit, AI reads the technician’s notes, measurements and photos, drafts a quote from those line items, and flags anything the price list does not cover instead of inventing a price. An estimator or office manager checks scope, quantities and price, edits the draft and approves it before it is sent, and a follow-up date is set so the quote is not forgotten.

## What this means in practice

- Keep a current price list and standard line items with a clear owner.
- Collect the technician’s notes, measurements and photos from each visit.
- Draft quotes from your own line items and flag anything not covered.
- Have an estimator approve every quote and price any unusual items.
- Set a follow-up date when each quote is sent.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Quotes from site notes and photos](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/quotes-from-site-notes-and-photos/): Turn a technician’s site notes, measurements and photos into a draft quote using your own price list and standard line items, so the office reviews and sends a consistent quote the same day instead of retyping it.
