Quote
In some instances, our Technicians may be able to resolve simple issues during this visit, in which case if any additional resources like parts are used, this will be invoiced separately.
An onsite quote with one of our experienced Technicians is recommended if a scope of works has many variables, like existing hardware, devices or software. Plus our Technicians can access the infrastructure of the building and unique factors which contribute to the technology issues our clients are looking to have resolved.
After the onsite inspection our Technicians will put together a detailed quote and this will be emailed through to our client with a turnaround of 1 – 3 business day depending on the complexity. We are also happy to break the quote down in to stages or provide different options which the client can choose between and fits in to their budget.
Ryve will price match on a case-by-case basis and only if the quote given is itemised with sufficient detail like brand, product code, product description and price. We aim to go over and above for new and existing clients who request price matching, but we have found many other companies will either do one or more of the following:
-
quote inferior products that will poorly meet the scope of works or expectations of the client,
-
quote cheaper or imported hardware that will not be compatible with existing hardware and technology onsite,
-
lower quality products from a known brand that will not serve the purpose needed,
-
quote products that are cheaper but have long term maintenance costs that the client is unaware of,
-
not quote items like cabling that is required for the hardware quoted as it is classified as ‘additional items’,
-
not consider the infrastructure where works are to be completed. If incorrect or incompatible cabling, wiring or hardware is existing onsite, then the quote needs to reflect those additional items for the technology outcomes to be met.
Ryve aims to instead inform and educate a client based on their individual needs, scope and expectations. We approach each client with transparency by following the process of providing either an Estimate or Quote.
Invoice
Once a quote has been accepted or if a job is booked directly (without obtaining a quote) a partial invoice is issued which is for 50% of the job total. Once payment has been received, this guarantees that the job will go ahead and all parts and resources required are ordered and scheduled. At this time we will also give our Client an estimated date to carry out the worked based on collating multiple parts from multiple suppliers across Australia, which can take a few weeks sometimes.
Our invoices include a Service Call Charge which is applied and if a clients job spans more than one day then there maybe multiple Service Call Charges applied as this covers, fuel, tolls, insurances, parking and our Technicians driving time.
The final invoice is issued at completion of the job and is payable then. Is some situations the final invoice may have additional parts or labour added, if for instance an unforeseen issue arose or if additional works were requested. In this instance, there is clean communication and approval sought from our Client.
