Tilbudgivern Mission

Last updated: 2026-03-29

North Star

Tilbudgivern exists to make quote creation so fast and reliable that a carpenter can stand with the customer, measure the roof, note a few project facts, and leave with a strong quote draft the same day.

The product should work equally well on:

  • mobile phone on site
  • laptop in the van
  • desktop in the office

Core Mission

  1. Minimize friction in the field. The carpenter should only need a few inputs to get started:
  • customer/address
  • project type
  • roof type/material
  • length/width/pitch or rough area
  • short customer note
  1. Reuse as much real data as possible. Tilbudsgiveren should prefer real historical evidence over empty forms:
  • local Tilbudgivern project history
  • synced Ordrestyring history
  • previously used Smart Packages
  • previously accepted/sent offers
  1. Make Smart Packages the operational backbone. Smart Packages should be:
  • quick to choose
  • easy to edit
  • grounded in real carpenter work
  • structured with materials, tasks, hours, and pricing
  1. Let AI help with language, not fake facts. AI should:
  • fix spelling and messy notes
  • structure rough carpenter input
  • produce sharp, customer-friendly offer text
  • explain the work clearly

AI must not:

  • invent measurements
  • invent prices
  • silently change quantities, rates, or totals
  • fabricate work not present in project/package data
  1. Make the system improve through usage. Every completed quote flow should create reusable learning signals:
  • what package was suggested
  • what package was chosen
  • what materials/tasks were changed
  • what text was accepted
  • which historical cases were used

The system should get better over time as more quotes are created.

Product Principles

  • Field-first beats backoffice-first.
  • Prefill beats blank state.
  • Editable beats locked automation.
  • Real history beats generic AI.
  • Short path to first useful draft beats perfect initial completeness.
  • Structured project data beats free-text prompts.

What “Good” Looks Like

A carpenter can:

  • create a project in under 2 minutes
  • get a relevant Smart Package recommendation automatically
  • receive suggested materials and hours from similar jobs
  • generate a customer-ready quote draft from structured data
  • correct mistakes quickly before sending
  • leave the quote in a clear persisted status before sending to Ordrestyring

Implementation Direction

When choosing features, architecture, or UX, prefer work that moves the product toward:

  • quick quote flow
  • strong historical matching
  • local sync and reuse of Ordrestyring data
  • structured quote generation
  • mobile-friendly editing and confirmation
  • persisted workflow states that match the real carpenter journey
  • visible material pricelist freshness from synced supplier/import data
  • measurable learning from accepted/edited quotes

Non-Goals

Avoid optimizing primarily for:

  • long admin workflows before first quote value
  • AI-generated content without structured project grounding
  • rigid package systems that are hard for carpenters to override
  • flows that assume office-only usage
