PDF estimates vs Riveta
Emailing PDF estimates?
A polished PDF makes a good first impression. But it can't capture a signature, collect a deposit, or remind a customer who's gone quiet. That's the gap Riveta fills.
Email a PDF and wait for a reply that may never come.
Send a link. Customer approves, signs, and pays deposit in one flow — from their phone.
Customer prints, signs, scans, and emails back. Most don't bother.
Customer types their name. Done. No printer, no scanner, no friction.
Deposit discussed separately — often after the job starts.
Deposit collected automatically the moment the estimate is approved.
No visibility into whether the customer read your PDF.
See opens, time spent, and approval status in real time.
Following up means another email or an awkward call.
Automatic reminders go out if the customer hasn't approved in 24/48 hours.
Lost a job? You'll never know why.
