Estimating and material ordering run through the office connection.
The quote that arrived a day late
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Fencing is often won by whoever gets a number to the homeowner first. The estimator measured on Tuesday, drove back to the office and sent the quote on Wednesday. By then the neighbour's contractor had the deposit.
What a consultant changes
With the right mobile plan and a tablet, the estimator draws, prices and sends the quote from the yard and takes the deposit on the spot. An advisor picks the carrier and the payment setup together, and makes sure the card handling is secure, so speed does not create a new problem.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for fencing contractors
- The advice
- The recommendation is a tablet, a mobile plan with coverage across the area you quote in, and a secure way to take deposits on site, all chosen to work together.
- The price
- Mobile data and payment processing are priced separately and clearly. The advisor points out fees that are easy to miss, such as per-transaction charges.
- The service
- New estimators are set up with the same kit in a day. The advisor handles the carrier and stays available when a payment device needs replacing.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
