From a customer email to a finished joinery quotation — without the busywork.
PanelDesk reads enquiries the way an estimator does: drawings, schedules, photos and the email itself. It builds a structured quote — floors, rooms, furniture items, materials and prices — that your team reviews, adjusts and sends.
Built for bespoke furniture & joinery workshops
Forward an email, get a draft quote
Customers send PDFs, architectural drawings and long emails. Forward them to your PanelDesk address — attachments are filed, the enquiry is read, and a draft quotation appears in your pipeline.
Drawing-aware analysis
Elevations, sections and schedules are read page by page. Reference codes are matched across documents so the same wardrobe never gets quoted twice.
A quote tree your estimator controls
Floor → room → item structure with inline editing, drag & drop, options and variants, discounts, and English/Polish in one click. Nothing is sent without human review.
Client-ready PDF & Excel
One click renders the quotation in your house format — cover page, per-room breakdown, payment stages, VAT — as PDF and spreadsheet, filed to your Google Drive.
Know where every enquiry stands
Review, sent, won, lost — with reasons. A dashboard shows what needs attention today and why quotes are being lost.
Full audit trail
Every change to every quotation is logged — who, what, before and after. Multiple estimators can work at once with live presence.
How it works
An email is forwarded to your workshop's PanelDesk address, or files are dropped into a watched Google Drive folder.
Each PDF page is analysed; the system asks clarifying questions in plain language when something is ambiguous.
Your team checks the generated quote tree, adjusts materials and prices, and resolves the AI's questions.
A polished PDF and Excel quotation is generated and filed — ready to send to the client.
