Sketch reading: the photo becomes a dimensioned part
A sketch scribbled on the corner of a table is your customers' natural format. It is also the one that costs you half an hour of retyping per quote.
The customer photographs the sketch and drops it in. What comes back is a structured part: the profile type, the segments with their dimension and angle, the material, the thickness, the length, the quantity and the holes. On the drilled angle example, it returns “S1 40 mm / 90°, S2 40 mm, 2 mm steel, 1,000 mm, quantity 6, 4 holes” from a sheet of graph paper.
The handwritten job reference is kept. “Roof job” scrawled in a corner looks like nothing, but it is often the only thing that lets you find the order three weeks later when the customer calls back without a reference.
The reading states its own confidence rather than leaving you to guess. A clean read shows “ready to apply”. A read that hit something shows “partial read, complete before quoting” and blocks pricing until the point is settled.
Orientation is detected: a sketch photographed crooked or turned a quarter turn is straightened, and a button lets the customer correct it if the detection got it wrong. Dimensions stay attached to the right segment, never silently transposed.
The original sketch stays attached to the job. The day a dimension is disputed, you open the photo the customer sent, not your interpretation of their photo.
What it changes
No retyping
Nobody retypes dimensions, so nobody gets them wrong while retyping.
Confidence is shown
The configurator says whether it read cleanly. A doubtful read does not pass for a certain one.
The paper stays the evidence
The original photo is attached to the job, with the customer's handwritten reference.
