Structured estimate intake / server-owned pricing

GraniteApp Estimate Tool

A guided public countertop estimate flow backed by a 152-material catalog, server-owned pricing, versioned estimate snapshots, and structured lead intake for fabricator follow-up.

Proof depth

What this case study proves operationally.

The strongest proof is the workflow shape: what the visitor or staff member gives the system, what the business receives, and what follow-up becomes possible.

What this proves for granite and countertop shops

A countertop buyer rarely arrives with every quote detail ready. A guided estimator can collect material selection, square footage, edge detail, sink and backsplash context, timeline, showroom readiness, and contact information before the first staff follow-up. The proof is not a final price promise; it is a cleaner intake path.

Server-owned catalog and pricing

The live estimator exposes 152 active materials while pricing stays owned by the server. That boundary lets the public flow guide a buyer without turning editable browser values into the business's source of truth.

Versioned estimate snapshot

A saved lead carries the material identity, category, quoted unit rate, measurements, options, geometry totals, and final range in a versioned estimate snapshot. Staff can review the same quoted configuration even if catalog pricing changes later.

Structured lead intake

The result becomes a structured lead for fabricator follow-up rather than a final-price promise. Contact and project details stay connected to the estimate snapshot so staff can confirm template, scope, scheduling, and final price with the customer.

The Challenge

Countertop shops often ask buyers to call, send a vague form, or visit the showroom before the customer understands surface options, project size, edge details, and upgrades.

The Solution

The estimator guides shape, measurements, material, and project options against the server-owned 152-material catalog, then saves a versioned estimate snapshot and structured lead details for staff review.

The Result

The live public route demonstrates how a fabricator can give useful preliminary guidance while retaining pricing authority, preserving the quoted configuration, and receiving a structured follow-up record instead of an unqualified message.

Stack and service links

The useful details stay connected.

Case studies should feed service pages, and service pages should point back to relevant proof.
