DIY: how to set this up yourself
A high-level path to a basic version you can build in Claude on your own.
- List your regular suppliers and how you usually order: phone, email, app or in person.
- Give Claude your standard quote format so it knows where the materials list lives.
- Ask Claude to draft a supplier order template pulled straight from the quote details.
- Test it on a real job and check quantities and pricing are landing correctly.
- Build the habit of generating the order as soon as a quote is accepted.
