Paint and coatings

Automated quoting for paint stores

5 gal, 1 gal, matt, satin, colour code. Tablia reads the painter's list, identifies container, finish and quantities and turns it all into a quote ready to check.

Faster service, more chances to close the sale. Because on a job site, time is money.

Automatic quoting

The painting list becomes a quote

Tablia reads the list, organises the items and builds the quote from what is in stock. What is missing can be substituted or sent to the purchase list.

BECOMES A PURCHASE LIST
1 item to restock

What the store did not have goes into Tablia's purchase list, with the quantity and the history of who asked — ready to become an order to the supplier.

Illustrative example. The list and the catalogue names are fictional.

How Tablia reads a painting list

At a paint store the finish is not a detail: it is what separates the wall that passes inspection from the wall that gets redone.

01

It separates item from quantity

The list is read line by line, and the number that is a quantity is kept apart from the volume of the tin.

02

It keeps the specification attached to the item

Colour, finish, base and container stay attached to the product, instead of becoming loose text.

03

It searches by meaning

"Matt acrylic white 5 gal" finds the item in your catalogue even with an abbreviated description. Alternative names for the same product are searched too.

04

It flags what it could not find

A colour your store does not have in stock goes to the salesperson with the customer's original wording, instead of becoming a similar colour.

The list can arrive as

Handwriting is the only one that does not go in — returning a wrong quantity that looks right is worse than refusing the file.

Integração com ERP

A Tablia se adapta ao sistema que a sua loja já usa

Mesma tabela de preços, mesmo relatório de fim de mês. A cotação vai automática e o vendedor da carteira recebe o aviso.

Connect via API

Tablia reads price, consolidated stock and terms straight from your ERP at query time — not from a stale copy.

Or use Tablia directly

No system change: send your inventory as CSV, XLS or XLSX. Tablia identifies code, description and price, and you confirm the mapping before it takes effect.

Legacy systems too

We integrate via API or directly into the database. If your ERP runs today, we can connect.

A Tablia trabalha 24/7. A loja decide quando enviar

O cliente pode enviar uma lista a qualquer hora, até de madrugada. A Tablia processa a cotação, encontra os produtos disponíveis, responde à solicitação e envia o resultado para o vendedor.

Na manhã seguinte, o vendedor confere tudo em segundos, faz as trocas necessárias, ajusta o que precisar e recebe também a lista dos itens não encontrados para uma possível compra.

Se preferir, a loja também pode permitir que o próprio cliente revise e corrija a cotação.

Questions from people who run a paint store

Does Tablia understand colour and finish?

Yes. Colour, finish, base and container are stored as the item's specification, not as loose text. And they work as a filter: a request for blue paint does not get white paint as a suggestion, even if the white is the closest product on the rest of the description.

What if the customer just writes "blue", without saying the shade?

The item is still searched by meaning, and the salesperson receives the candidates to choose from. Tablia does not invent a shade: it hands over the list of blues in your catalogue and leaves the choice with whoever will talk to the customer.

Does it swap the brand the customer asked for?

No. If the brand is written in the request, a product from another brand is discarded rather than offered. Swapping a brand is a commercial decision, and your salesperson is the one who makes it.

Do I have to replace the system my store already uses?

No. Tablia adapts to your store's system. You can connect it to your ERP via API or, if you prefer, use Tablia directly by sending your inventory as CSV, XLS or XLSX files.

Tablia identifies the code, description and price fields, and you confirm the mapping before it takes effect.

You choose the most convenient way to integrate Tablia into your operation.

What happens to a colour I do not have?

It appears to the salesperson flagged as not found, with the customer's original wording beside it. It does not turn into a similar colour and it does not disappear from the list. The decision is yours: add it, propose an equivalent, or say the store does not carry that line.

In what format can the customer send the list?

PDF, a photo in JPG or PNG, a spreadsheet in XLSX or XLS, a document in DOCX, CSV or typed text. The only one that does not go in is a handwritten list: Tablia does not accept handwriting, so it never returns a wrong quantity that looks right.

Does the quote go to the customer on its own?

The store decides. Tablia can send the quote directly to the customer or forward it first to the salesperson for review.

When the salesperson reviews it, they can adjust quantities, swap products, set prices and make any changes before sending.

Tablia automates the work. The store chooses the level of control.
