Getting started with QuoteCloud

From audit scores to report and quote with AI

An AI assistant connected through QuoteCloud's MCP service can be set up to draft each site's audit report and the extra-work quote, for your account manager to review.

With QuoteCloud's MCP service (Essentials and up), an AI assistant your business connects to your audit app and to QuoteCloud can be set up to read each site's monthly scores, create the audit report from your template and add extra-work lines from your price book. Both are drafts: a person reviews, approvals still apply, and the client signs.

Last reviewed by the QuoteCloud team

An engineered drawing of three stations joined by one line, for a fictional contractor, Pellucid Facility Services: 1, your audit app, a tablet showing zone scores; 2, your AI assistant, connected through QuoteCloud's MCP service; 3, QuoteCloud, two document drafts. Below, three cards take turns: Halden House's October scores (seven zones, average 83.6% against an 85% target, four below); the assistant's set-up steps (found the client and site, read seven zone scores, drafted the audit report, matched four findings to the price book, drafted the quote, nothing sent); the two drafts flagged for review, audit report PF-QA-2410 and extra-work quote PF-3142 for $2,910.60; and finally reviewed by the account manager Theo Vance and approved by the operations director Mara Quinlan because the quote is over $2,000.

Try it with the Northgate audit

Northgate Medical Suites scored above target overall in October, but two zones didn't. Ask the assistant: it drafts the report from the scores and prices the two findings from your price book. You review, leave a line out if you want, and send.

Untick a line to leave it out. The report goes as it is.

A demo with a fictional business and a fictional audit app: nothing is sent, stored or charged. With QuoteCloud's MCP service (Essentials and up), an AI assistant your business connects to your audit app and to QuoteCloud can be set up to work this way. Documents are created as drafts, a person reviews and sends them, and approval rules (Business) still apply.

You decide what it reads and what it creates

The set-up is a mapping you agree once: which fields in your audit app become which parts of a QuoteCloud document, and where the assistant stops.

It can be set up to

  • Read the sites and scores you allow it to read, and nothing else
  • Create documents from your templates, saved as drafts
  • Add lines from your product catalogue, at your prices
  • Check which approval rules a quote will meet before it's sent

It stays with a person

  • Sending anything to a client: a person reviews and sends
  • Approving a quote over your limit: your approver does, on Business
  • Changing your prices, templates or approval rules
  • Running audits or deciding scores: those stay in your audit app

QuoteCloud doesn't connect to audit apps itself. Your business connects the assistant to your audit app, and the assistant works with QuoteCloud through QuoteCloud's MCP service. What it can do is what your implementation sets up.

When and why to implement MCP with QuoteCloud

Every draft is reviewed by a person before it goes

The assistant leaves its work where your team already looks: two drafts in QuoteCloud, the report and the quote, with the activity showing who created them and when.

Theo, the account manager, reads the report, checks the findings against what he saw on site, removes a line the client has already agreed to skip, and sends. Clare opens the report, and you see when she does.

  • Drafts only: nothing reaches a client without a person
  • The activity shows each step, from scores read to report opened
  • Report and quote stay linked by the finding
  • Document tracking shows when the client opens each one

A quote the assistant drafted still meets your approval rules

Approval rules don't care who drafted the quote. Halden House's October extra work comes to $2,910.60, over the $2,000 limit, so it goes to Mara, the operations director, before Clare sees it.

Once it's approved and sent, Clare signs online and the signed quote carries a certificate of authenticity. Then the work is booked the way you book it today.

Set it up in five steps

What an implementation looks like for a cleaning contractor. Your QuoteCloud contact can walk you through each step.

  1. Connect the assistant

    Connect your AI assistant to QuoteCloud's MCP service and to your audit app, with read access only where it needs it.

  2. Set the boundaries

    Drafts only, no sending, and the clients and sites it may read. Keep approval rules on.

  3. Point it at your templates

    Your monthly audit report and extra-work quote templates.

  4. Map findings to prices

    Which price-book item fixes which kind of finding, and where the quantity comes from.

  5. Review every draft

    Your account managers check, edit and send. The client signs online.

AI and audits: questions

What can an AI assistant do in QuoteCloud through MCP?

QuoteCloud's MCP service lets an AI assistant work with QuoteCloud on Essentials and up. An implementation can be set up to find a client, create a document from a template, add lines from your catalogue and check approval rules. Documents are drafts for a person to review, and approvals still apply.

Does QuoteCloud connect to our audit or inspection app?

Not directly. Your business connects the AI assistant to your audit app, and the assistant works with QuoteCloud through the MCP service. QuoteCloud doesn't run audits or decide scores; it holds the report and the quote the assistant drafts from your figures.

Will the assistant send reports or quotes to clients by itself?

It shouldn't, and we recommend setting it up so it can't: the assistant creates drafts and a person reviews and sends them. Approval rules on the Business plan still apply to anything it prepares, so a quote over your limit waits for your approver.

Which plan do we need?

The MCP service is on Essentials and up, along with price tables, the product catalogue and the Spreadsheet block. Approval workflow and the AI Co-Worker, which helps your staff inside the editor, are on Business. eSignatures are on every plan.

Is this the same as the AI Co-Worker?

No. The AI Co-Worker helps your staff inside the QuoteCloud editor, and its suggestions are flagged until someone accepts them. An assistant connected through MCP works from outside, with your other systems, and creates drafts for review.

Can the assistant change our prices?

It shouldn't need to. Set it up to add lines from your product catalogue at your prices; your team keeps the catalogue, the templates and the approval rules. If a reviewer changes a price on a draft, that's a person's decision.
