Tolin Mechanical reduces quoting time by 60% using enriched asset data
Tolin needed faster, more accurate quotes and stronger data to back them up
Tolin Mechanical, headquartered in Denver, is a commercial HVAC service provider supporting complex equipment portfolios across the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. The team serves a range of commercial and institutional customers, with a focus on consistent, data-backed service delivery.As proposals grow more detailed and asset-specific, the team needed a faster way to access complete equipment information without adding extra steps in the field or office. Maintaining speed while increasing accuracy became a priority, especially across larger, multi-site opportunities.
Captured asset data during everyday work and made it usable for quoting
Tolin incorporated dataplate capture into routine field workflows, using Optical Character Recognition to extract key equipment details from photos already being taken on the jobsite. That information is enriched and organized into complete asset records, giving the team immediate access to specifications like tonnage, age, and refrigerant type without manual lookup or additional site visits.“We take on all repair risk under full-service contracts, so having access to accurate equipment age and refrigerant data helps us proactively manage that risk.”– Mike Essig, Director of Operations, Tolin Mechanical
Connected field capture directly to the quoting process
Each dataplate photo feeds into a centralized system where asset data is automatically structured and made accessible across service and sales workflows. As quotes are built, the team can reference accurate equipment details in real time, reducing time spent gathering information and improving consistency across locations and asset portfolios. “I’d rather just run an enriched data report and have it in five minutes. We’re pulling tonnage and key specs instantly — no site revisit, no decoding model numbers.”– Mike Essig, Director of Operations, Tolin Mechanical
