Customer status examples
Example workflow
interior repaint with cabinets
A customer selects interior work, three rooms, and cabinet painting. The form reveals the cabinet count and material questions and produces an estimate range from the square footage and add-ons. The request lands in Scope Review, a site visit is scheduled, and the proposal goes out with the deposit request. The deposit reserves the crew, and the Living Link moves from quote sent to contract sent to deposit received.
Why use DocOtto instead of a basic form builder?
Form builders collect responses and stop. DocOtto runs the whole middle: the pipeline that tracks every deal, the contract that fills itself in, the Stripe deposit that follows the signature, and the Living Link that keeps your customer in the loop. From intake to signed and paid, in one place.
