How to Route a Quote That Needs Technical Review
To route a quote for technical review, the routing has to be conditional. Sending every quote to a specialist delays the simple ones to protect against the complex ones.
Why technical review becomes a bottleneck
It is applied uniformly because the exception is hard to define.
- Every quote queued behind a specialist
- Simple quotes waiting days for a check nobody needed
- The specialist becoming the constraint on commercial velocity
- Reviews skipped informally when the queue gets long
What should trigger review
- Product category, where certain items always need it
- Customization, where the quote departs from the catalogue
- Value, above a defined threshold
- A new client, where nothing is known about their requirements
- An explicit request from the salesperson
How to set it up in Jestor
- Add a conditional review phase to the quote pipeline in Jestor.
- Trigger it by category, customization, or value rather than for every quote.
- Route to the specialist with a user field, so accountability is clear.
- Enable log metrics so the review phase's dwell time is measured.
- Review that timing periodically to see what the check actually costs.
Why choose Jestor for conditional routing?
Jestor allows conditionals on any field value or numeric threshold, which means a review can be triggered precisely rather than by a rule broad enough to catch everything.
Because dwell time in the review phase is recorded, the cost of the check becomes measurable — which is usually the argument needed to narrow or widen it.
