Approver name, terms acceptance and timestamp on approved quote.

Scope disputes are expensive

'I thought that included the disposal' costs you time and margin. Approval on a documented quote with terms reduces ambiguity.

Start work with confidence

Written approval — especially with identity verification — shows the customer agreed to price and terms before materials are ordered.

Electronic approval links capture name, terms acceptance and timestamp.
