ZANUS FRONT OFFICE — QUOTED IN MINUTES, CHASED UNTIL SIGNED

Next-generation AI for your business. Try it free on your own business. No credit card.

The quote goes out in minutes — and does not die in the inbox. ZANUS AI Front Office for the Quote & Estimate Desk is the AI quoting and follow-up desk of any business that sells on a quote — contractors, manufacturers, caterers, agencies, freight forwarders, dealers, consultants. It takes the request on phone, website chat, email and web forms, asks the questions your estimator would ask — quantities, options, dates, address, deadline — builds the quote from your price list and rules, sends it with a payable link and chases it on your schedule until accepted or declined. Custom work, special discounts and unusual quantities go to your estimator with everything captured. Open, viewed, accepted and lost: visible every morning. Grounded only in the prices and rules you approve: no source, no claim.

What happens to every inquiry — in your business

AnswersBooksServesSellsFollows upSupportsReports
Contact

A customer asks for a price by phone, chat, email or web form — a homeowner at 8 PM, a purchasing agent with a spec sheet, an event planner with a date, a shipper with a pallet count. Any of 40 languages.

Answer

The AI asks exactly the questions your estimator asks: quantities, options, materials, dates, pickup and delivery address, deadline, budget range — and answers what is included, lead times and terms from your approved information.

Understand

It applies your rules: what it may quote itself, which account or reseller tier applies, which discounts it may not give, what goes to a person — custom work, special terms, unusual quantities.

Act

Builds the quote from your price list, queues it for your one-click authorization where your rules ask for it, sends it with validity and a payable link; routes exceptions to your estimator with everything captured.

Follow up

Chases on your schedule until accepted or declined; answers questions about the quote itself; stops the moment the customer replies and hands a warm conversation to your people.

Record & report

Open, viewed, accepted and lost quotes visible on every record and in the morning briefing; the forecast counts what is really coming, with the WHY.

AI-driven end to end. A person wherever your rules require it. Custom work, special discounts, unusual quantities and anything outside your approved price list wait for your estimator; the routine quote, the AI builds, sends, chases and reports.

One knowledge base feeds every channel

Websites, uploads, pages and articles, Q&A, battle cards, images and videos — you approve it once, and phone, chat, email, demos and quotes all answer from the same verified source. No source, no claim.

Knowledge — the verified knowledge base and website sync
The verified knowledge the AI answers from: documents, the website synced page by page, facts and corrections — never model memory.

40 languages, one bill, a help drawer over every screen

Languages and website translation, billing with plans, top-ups and alerts, onboarding, users & security, and the help drawer that answers from the platform manual — the plumbing that comes with it.

Languages — 40 languages, one knowledge
The language packs: which of the 40 languages are on, greetings and voices per language.

Private by architecture

Your Front Office runs in a private Cloudflare environment dedicated to your company — your own data-processing container, not a shared pool. Your knowledge stays yours: it never trains global models like GPT or Grok, and it is never shared.

  • Private data-processing environment per company
  • Grounded only in your knowledge
  • Claim guard: no source, no claim
  • Private environment option: an isolated environment with enterprise-grade security certifications, on request

Auto-Call — outbound AI calls on your rules

Auto-Call — the AI calls your customers

Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail. Call window, attempts, voicemail policy and consent rules are yours; every call is transcribed.

  • “Hi Bill, this is Precision Metalworks: your quote is ready and valid until the 30th; the link to accept it is in your email.”
  • “Hi Joan, this is Atlas Distribution following up on last week’s quote. Do you have any questions, or shall I convert it to an order?”

Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing; calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone. How it works, in the Phone chapter ›

Questions, answered

Can the AI give a wrong price?

It quotes only from the price list and rules you approve; the claim guard blocks any number without a source in your knowledge. Anything outside them — custom work, special discounts, unusual quantities, a request your list does not cover — goes to your estimator with the request already captured. What it may quote itself, and what waits for a one-click authorization, is your decision, per item and per discount level.

What happens to our price list and our customers’ information?

Your Front Office runs on a private data-processing environment dedicated to your business; your price lists, margins, account terms and customer data never train public models and are never shared. Businesses whose compliance requires an isolated environment with specific certifications ask for a private environment — available on request.

Does it replace our estimating, ERP or accounting system?

No. It sits in front of them: the AI takes the request, builds the quote from the price list you publish to it, sends and chases it, then pushes the accepted quote to your order, job or accounting system through Connectors — webhooks, API and native CRM sync. Your system of record stays; the inbox stops being where quotes go to die.
