PROPOSED PROJECT
Workshop Estimate Builder
Turn a technician's inspection notes into a customer-ready repair estimate. Match named jobs to the workshop's labor schedule and verified parts catalog, calculate an itemized draft, and attach inspection photos and plain-language explanations for the service advisor to review.
From inspection to estimate.
Awaiting advisor review
“Replace the front pad set and hardware. Allow two hours. Hold disc replacement pending inspection.”

Front pad replacement
Fictional tax-inclusive prices. No additional tax is added in this example.
Inspection is unresolved. Any extra work needs a separate estimate change and customer approval.
Keep the technician’s
meaning intact.
For fictional job J-104, the technician has approved a front pad replacement and asks the advisor to hold any disc replacement pending inspection. The matched front pad set is ₱3,600, the hardware kit ₱400, and labor is 2 hours at ₱950. The draft totals ₱5,900 using the example’s tax-inclusive prices. No disc replacement is priced or authorized.
WHAT IS USUALLY DONE
A service advisor reads the technician’s notes, looks up parts and labor, and types the estimate again. A copied part code, a missing condition, or an old hourly rate can change the work the customer thinks they are approving.
WHAT SOVRUN CAN DO FOR YOU
Sovrun would build an estimate workspace for a workshop’s existing job process. AI reads the technician’s approved notes and proposes named jobs with their source text attached. The system matches verified parts and labor codes, calculates the draft, and keeps conditional work separate. The advisor reviews the vehicle match, quantities, prices, and customer explanation before sending the estimate. No repair is authorized by the model.
Show where
each line came from.
A service advisor should be able to follow the draft back to the technician’s instruction, the vehicle record, and the workshop’s own prices. Conditions must survive that translation.

Keep outside the priced draft until the technician confirms the work.
No line added“This estimate covers the front pad set, hardware, and two hours of labor. We are still checking the discs. If additional work is needed, we will send a revised estimate for your approval before including it.”
Ready to review.
Clear enough to send.
The proposed project produces a working estimate review screen and a customer document, while keeping the original inspection record and changes attached.

How we’d make it happen.
Read the job without losing conditions
Extract the requested work and unresolved checks. Keep phrases such as “only if” and “not included” attached to the line they affect.
Match and calculate
Match the verified vehicle to the parts catalog and labor schedule. Flag missing or conflicting codes, calculate the draft, and leave unapproved conditional work out of the total.
Review before sending
The advisor checks the source-linked draft and customer explanation. Send only the approved version; a later change creates a new estimate for review.
Where AI helps
Language and document models turn notes into proposed job lines and everyday explanations. We test unclear handwriting, abbreviations, negation, and conditional instructions. Parts matching requires the workshop’s verified vehicle record; quantities, labor rates, and totals use source data and code rather than generated numbers.
What people approve
A qualified technician decides what work is needed. The service advisor verifies the vehicle and parts, approves every line, and confirms any extra work with the customer. Photos support the inspection record; AI does not diagnose a brake condition from the illustrative image or decide whether the vehicle is safe to drive.
What we’d need to start
- Technician-approved inspection notes, job ID, and relevant photos
- Verified vehicle record, parts catalog, stock, and workshop labor schedule
- Estimate format, tax treatment, approval owners, and rules for additional work
How we’d test it
Reconcile every estimate line and total with the source catalog. Test wrong variants, repeated notes, unavailable parts, unclear quantities, stale rates, and conditional work. Confirm that an unresolved part match or extra job cannot enter a customer-approved estimate silently. Compare preparation time and correction counts with the workshop’s previous process.
Prepared for Automotive & mobility. We would agree on the work after reviewing your brief, materials, and requirements.
