AI quoting is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ electrical contractor, that gap is where the actual ROI lives - and where most of our work happens.
AI quoting that fits an electrical contractor's week, not the other way around.
Our goal is to give electrical contractors a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI quoting actually does
Customers send a photo, a brief, or a voicemail - AI drafts a structured quote in your pricing format. You review, tweak, send. Quotes go out the same day, not next week.
- 01 Reads photos, voice notes, emails, and PDFs
- 02 Uses your pricing rules and current material costs
- 03 Drafts in your branded template, ready to send
- 04 Tracks win/loss to make the next quote sharper

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI quoting runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for electrical contractors first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI quoting compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
What we keep hearing from NZ electrical contractors.
- Electricians juggle callouts, compliance certificates, and quoting, usually from the front seat of a van.
- Certificates of compliance and quote turnaround are where electrical businesses either look professional or lose the job.
How we build AI quoting for electrical contractors.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for an electrical contractor business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI-generated quotes.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing electrical contractors the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for electrical contractors
What changes for electrical contractors after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour.

FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for electrical contractors?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have proof this works for electrical contractors?
Direct case study: Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI quoting stack we reach for is Claude Vision, Whisper, Xero, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
