Outcome
Automation enabled Smart Charge America to scale without hiring well over 100 additional employees. It removed five minutes of work per quote and eliminated the need for home visits, letting each estimator process 15 additional quotes per day. Scheduling installations became 75% faster, returning 75 minutes to each sales rep per workday. All customers now automatically receive information on available incentives and rebates.
