Cost Calculation Application Form: a tool for service and manufacturing companies
In the B2B segment, the most important stage is the cost request. This is where the quality of the lead is formed: how well he understands his task, how willing he is to cooperate, and whether he has the necessary materials for the calculation.
To avoid lengthy clarifications, file transfers, and confusion in emails, companies convert the initial request to an online form format. This approach collects all the necessary information in one step, reduces the burden on managers and increases the accuracy of commercial offers.
QForm is a convenient tool for this purpose. With it, you can create a form that works as a full-fledged mini-brief: collects data, accepts files, records parameters, and automatically notifies the team of new requests.
Why is the form more effective than correspondence or calls?
In correspondence, clients often miss important details: parameters, deadlines, technical data. Calls also do not solve the problem, because the manager needs to record all the numbers manually, and then request additional documents.
The form eliminates this routine. The client structures the request for your questions himself, attaches specifications, drawings, photos or technical specifications. QForm supports downloading large files up to 1 GB, which is convenient for manufacturing companies, designers, engineers, developers and contractors.
As a result, the manager receives a complete set of information and can immediately proceed to calculating the cost, and the company saves time on each request.
What can be collected through the cost calculation form
The form easily turns into a mini-brief. In QForm, you can customize fields for a specific niche.:
- Selection of parameters: type of service, format, conditions, and volumes.
- Numeric fields: size, area, quantity, budget.
- Lists and checkboxes: options for materials, configuration, and difficulty level.
- Comments on: additional requirements, technical nuances.
- Uploading technical specifications or files: drawings, photos of the object, documentation.
- Contact information: name, company, phone, e-mail.
Notifications: the team responds faster
When a client submits a form, it is important for the business not to lose the request. QForm supports instant notifications in Telegram, VKontakte and Email, as well as sending data via a webhook, which makes it possible to connect a CRM or bot.
This is especially important in the B2B segment, where the reaction rate directly affects the probability of a deal.
For example: the client sent a technical specification - the manager instantly received a notification in Telegram - the request went to the responsible engineer - the cost calculation begins without delay.
How an application turns into a lead
After submitting the form, the data enters the QForm interface with statuses, comments, and the ability to track the processing steps.
For companies with several departments, it is convenient to use separate spaces, each area has its own employees, its own statuses, and its own application flow.
This way, marketing gets clean leads, and managers get a working tool for query processing.
Example: cost calculation form in 4 steps

One file or several, there are no restrictions on the number. - Selects the parameters of the service or product.
This helps you understand exactly what needs to be calculated. - The manager receives a notification and sees the application in the system.
All the data is already structured, nothing needs to be specified manually.
Who needs these forms?

- construction and repair contractors;
