What is ANTORA?
ANTORA is a quoting assistant that works on WhatsApp, built for renovation and construction companies. It receives voice notes, photos, measurements and documents, spots missing details, checks the company's price catalogue and prepares itemised quotes. Detailed quotes are always approved by the company owner before they are sent to the client.
How does ANTORA work on WhatsApp?
You write to, or send voice notes, photos and documents to, ANTORA's WhatsApp number, just as you would with a colleague in the office. ANTORA interprets the information, asks for anything missing and prepares the quote with your prices. Everything happens inside the conversation.
Do I need to install an app?
No. WhatsApp is all you need, and your team already uses it. Neither you nor your staff have to learn another program.
Can I send voice notes from site?
Yes. It is one of the most common ways to use it: you describe the work in a voice note from site and ANTORA picks out the relevant details, such as rooms, tasks, materials and finishes. If something is unclear, it asks.
Can it read photos and documents?
Yes. It can use photos and documents, such as a floor plan or a measurement sheet, as input for the quote. Photos help it understand the current state and the type of work, but ANTORA does not measure the job from them: measurements are provided by the professional.
How does it prepare quotes?
It gathers the information from the conversation, matches it to the items in your catalogue, works out quantities from the measurements you give and applies your prices and rules. The result is an itemised quote with quantities, prices and amounts, ready for you to review.
Does it use my own prices?
Yes. ANTORA works with the catalogue each company sets up: items, units, costs, materials, labour and margins. It does not make up prices or use generic rates.
Can it produce a quote without me getting involved?
It can prepare the full draft without you writing it, but it does not send it on its own: detailed quotes always need your approval. The only thing that can be sent automatically is an indicative price range to a prospective client, if you enable the sales assistant, and it is always labelled as an estimate, not a final quote.
Who approves final quotes?
The CEO or the person the company designates as Superadmin. No detailed quote is sent to a client without their explicit approval, and if it is changed after approval, it needs to be approved again.
Can I use it internally only?
Yes. You can use ANTORA only with your team to prepare quotes, without enabling client enquiries. The sales channel is optional.
Can I enable it to handle my clients?
Yes, optionally. ANTORA replies on WhatsApp to people asking for information: it asks about the type of renovation, requests photos, areas, rooms, materials and preferences and, if it has enough information, works out an indicative price range with your rates. If essential details are missing, it asks for more instead of giving an unreliable figure. The enquiry is recorded so your team can follow up.
Can I give access to my site managers and workers?
Yes. You can authorise site managers, workers or collaborators to prepare quotes from site. Each profile has different permissions: authorised users prepare quotes with the company's prices, and the CEO or Superadmin stays in control of prices, criteria and the approval of final quotes.
Is ANTORA suitable for small businesses and sole traders?
Yes. A sole trader can use it to prepare quotes from their phone, acting as their own Superadmin, and a company with several crews can use it so site managers prepare quotes from each job. Either way, the work is done on WhatsApp.
Can I adapt the price catalogue to my business?
Yes. The catalogue belongs to your company: you define items, units, costs, materials, labour and margins, and you can update it whenever your prices change. In the demo we look at how to set it up from the rates you already use.
Does it replace the technical review or my invoicing software?
No. ANTORA prepares quotes from the information you give it; the technical review and the final decision remain with the professional. It does not do invoicing, accounting or tax either.
What happens to my data and prices?
They belong to your company. Your catalogue and quotes are not shared with other companies, and we sign a data processing agreement with every client.
