Repairs and specialist services: Quotation software for coffee machine service companies
Quotation software for coffee machine service companies that prices service packages and replacement parts per machine based on type, usage and water hardness, with clear terms on what a contract covers.
Where quotes for coffee machine service companies get stuck.
A maintenance contract for coffee machines looks standard, but the work varies enormously. A bean-to-cup machine in an office with few users needs something different from an espresso machine in a busy café or a machine in a hard water area. Coffee machine service companies often price contracts at a flat rate per machine regardless of use, and lose money on the heavy users. With repair quotes outside a contract, it is unclear which parts count as wear and which the customer pays for. Afterwards disputes arise about what the contract covered, such as a broken grinder or a replaced pump.

List machines and usage
The quote starts with a list of machines per site, with type, age, estimated cups per day and local water hardness. Where counter readings are known, they are used. That shows which machines run heavily and where extra maintenance or a water filter is needed.
Build a package per machine
For each machine the adviser chooses a package: preventive maintenance only, maintenance with service kits, or everything including parts. The software calculates visit frequency from usage and adds the matching kits and filters. Exceptions, such as damage from misuse, are stated as exclusions.
Record cover and approval
The proposal shows per machine what the contract does and does not cover, in plain language. The customer approves per site or for the whole. After approval, machines, packages and cover are recorded in the service system, so the technician sees at every visit what falls under the contract.
Alongside your calculations and price lists.
Prices for service kits, filters and parts sit in the service system or in manufacturer price lists. We use those as the source and add your own norms for visit frequency per usage level. Rates and cover are managed by whoever signs contracts. Machine details come from the service system or from the survey at the customer's site. The contract is kept in your system and can be requested by the customer.
Flat rate per machine or per cup
A flat rate per machine is simple, but lets heavy users ride on light ones. A price per cup, based on counter readings, matches wear more closely but needs readings to be passed on reliably. A middle way is a flat rate with a usage band reviewed annually.
Parts included or separate
A contract including parts gives the customer certainty, but the risk sits with you, especially for older machines. Charging parts separately is safer but makes costs unpredictable for the customer. Many companies include wear parts such as seals and charge larger components separately. Agree that split clearly in the contract.
Replacement machine standard or optional
For a café, a replacement machine during a longer repair is often essential; for an office with a second machine, less so. Including it as standard makes the contract dearer; optional keeps it affordable but leads to disputes at the moment of breakdown. Agree beforehand when a replacement machine is installed.

For contract quotes, machines with usage and water hardness are ready, with packages per machine and the cover visible in the proposal. Your prices for service kits and filters, and your norms for visit frequency per usage level, go in at the start. Together we go through a quote for an office with a few bean-to-cup machines, and a café with an old espresso machine in an area with very hard water. Reviews based on counter readings and repair quotes outside contracts can be switched on afterwards.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsHow do we estimate usage if the customer does not know it?
By reading the machine's counter and comparing it with an earlier reading, or by using the number of staff or seats as an estimate. After the first visits, actual counter readings correct the estimate. The customer sees what the estimate was based on.
Can contracts for machines of different brands go in one quote?
Yes. Each machine records type and brand with the matching service kits and norms. The customer receives one proposal per site or for the whole organisation, while it stays visible per machine what the maintenance involves.
How do we deal with damage caused by misuse?
By making clear in the proposal which damage falls outside the contract, for example from the wrong cleaning products or skipping the cleaning cycle. At a visit the technician records what they see, so any discussion can rest on facts.
Can the quote also include renting a machine?
Yes, if you rent machines out. Rental and maintenance can sit in one proposal, with the rental price and service package per machine. It still makes sense to show them separately, so the customer sees what the machine costs and what the maintenance costs.
