Generate Prework Estimates and Create Orders in Automotive Cloud
When service technicians visit a dealer or partner site, they can use their Salesforce
mobile app to generate quick estimates for products and services and create orders. The technician
can search for products, specify the quantity, and labor and installation charges using the mobile
app. Then, they can create an order with the line item details and email a PDF version to the
dealership manager directly from the app.
