Quotes that hold at the door and customers who come back on cycle—without pricing rooms from behind a running truckmount or rebuilding last year's list from a shoebox of invoices.

Deptly does — on your business phone, text, and email. It gathers what a firm quote needs — room counts and sizes, photos of stains or the sofa's care tag, vent counts, the dryer's run length — answers routine questions from your guidelines, and either quotes inside your approved price list or packages everything so you can price the odd one in one look at the end of the day.

Only within rules you approve. Most shops in this branch price by unit — per room or area for carpet, per square foot for tile and grout, per vent or system for duct work, flat rates for dryer vents. If you work that way, Deptly quotes standard jobs inside those bands from the details it gathers. Severe pet damage, delicate fabrics, suspected mold, and commercial bids come to you with everything already collected.

By being the opposite of the coupon: itemized, with inclusions spelled out and a plain note on what would change the number. The customer sees the real price before anyone rolls a truck. If the job grows on site, that's your tech's call to quote and the customer's call to accept — Deptly then updates the ticket and invoice so the paperwork matches. The original quote never quietly inflates.

The scope call stays with your tech, in the room, looking at the actual carpet. Once the customer accepts the addition, Deptly updates the ticket, the invoice, and the rest of the day: downstream customers hear their window moved before it becomes a where-are-you call, and the schedule gets repaired instead of silently slipping.

No — and that's deliberate. What a stain, an odor, or a fabric will do is your technician's judgment, and health outcomes are never promised by anyone on your behalf. Deptly sets expectations from guidelines you approve — what usually responds to treatment, what may be permanent dye damage, what an inspection will determine — and routes outcome questions to your tech rather than guessing.

Yes — this is the branch's version of a recurring plan, and one of the most common starting workflows. Deptly logs each service's return cycle at closeout — carpet at six to twelve months, dryer vents annually, tile resealing and ducts in years — and sends the reminder when it's due, at your price, with follow-up at your cadence. Last year's customers hear from you before they see a competitor's coupon.

One-truck shops often feel this hardest, because the person who quotes is the person who cleans — every missed call during a job is a missed job. You start with a single workflow, usually quote response and follow-up or the reminder program, watch it close loops for a few weeks, and expand only when it has earned it. Nothing about Deptly requires you to be bigger than you are.

The finding — and what to tell the customer about it — stays entirely with you and your tech. Deptly never characterizes a health or safety finding on its own. What it does handle is the follow-through you decide on: scheduling the return visit, sending the documentation you approve, and making sure the customer conversation you had doesn't die in a voicemail afterward.

Phone, text, email, and calendar are confirmed channels. Housecall Pro and Jobber are the kind of software Deptly typically works inside — confirmed for your setup during discovery. ServiceMonster and other niche cleaning CRMs need a discovery pass first. Either way, you don't switch software to work with Deptly.

The ones that don't: property managers, commercial accounts, net-terms invoices, and the residential job where nobody was home at the end. Deptly sends the itemized receipt the same day either way — with care notes and the review ask — and follows unpaid balances at your cadence until they're settled. Disputed charges come to you; Deptly never argues with a customer about money.

Price depends on scope: how many workflows, how much activity, which channels and systems, and how much oversight you want. Most shops in this branch start with a single workflow pilot — quote response and follow-up, or the return-cycle reminder program — and expand from what proves out. The pricing page explains the models, and a short call gets you a scoped recommendation.

No. Deptly works in the tools you already have — your existing number, your calendar, your field software where a connection is confirmed. The point is to take work off your plate, not to hand you a migration project.
