Zoho CRM Quote Automation Widget
Automated quoting tool embedded directly in Zoho CRM to streamline service and item pricing.
This project involved developing a custom Zoho CRM embedded widget designed to streamline the quoting process for moving services. The widget dynamically fetches product items (services and materials) from Zoho CRM, filters them based on specific criteria (e.g., "In Local Costing: Yes"), and presents them in an interactive table within the Zoho Deals or Quotes module.
Users can input quantities for each item, and the widget automatically calculates individual item prices, applies a configurable percentage cost based on a selected "Schedule" from Zoho, and determines a grand total. A key feature is its ability to create new Zoho Quotes or update existing ones, ensuring data consistency and real-time synchronization with the CRM. It also updates the associated Deal's amount in Zoho CRM upon successful submission.
This solution significantly enhances efficiency by providing a precise and automated quoting mechanism directly within the CRM, reducing manual errors and accelerating the sales process for moving services.
