• Attentive, a sales workflow automation solution provider, announced the launch of “AutoBid”– a comprehensive sales automation solution for the landscaping industry. 

• The AI-powered solution allows sales professionals to automate project tasks. This includes 1) measuring the site and estimates (time, service costs, and materials costs based on pre-agreed production rates) 2) generating proposal documents based on personalized templates and 3) e-signatures from customers. 

• The solution builds on the company’s existing automated site measurement tool AutoMeasure which is utilized by Juniper Landscaping, US Lawns, Beary Landscaping, Greenscape, Nanak’s, Perficut, United Land Services, Merit, Mullin La, and East Coast Facilities. 

Analyst QuickTake: The new solution is expected to streamline the landscaping sales process which is reportedly fragmented with sales professionals using manual efforts to measure sites, generate estimates, and prepare proposals. The company claims that with AutoBid the entire maintenance proposal can be completed within 2 days whereas it would have taken 10–12 days.
