85% of quotes go from inbox to reply without anyone touching them. The rest get held for your review — you only see the ones that need attention.
02 · Always on
You close at 5pm. Your customers don't — 26% of enquiries arrive outside 9–5. MaxPax replies at 10:47pm; you wake up to a confirmed job.

Generic AI invents prices from training data. MaxPax reads them straight from your Excel cells — if your sheet says $185, the customer sees $185.
Generic AI quoter
Inputs
500 × A5 flyer · 350gsm · matt lam
Output (best guess from training data)
~ $140 – $220
Plausibly priced. Probably wrong. May undercut your margin or overshoot the market.
MaxPax
Inputs
500 × A5 flyer · 350gsm · matt lam
Output (read from your-pricing.xlsx · cell C10)
$185.00
Exactly what your sheet says. Update the cell, the next quote uses the new number.
04 · When unsure, ask
"How much for a few hundred flyers?" is a question, not a spec. MaxPax flags it and waits for you — better to hold a clean quote than send a wrong one.

Re: flyer pricing
Quantity ambiguous — "a few hundred" could mean 200–500
Size "A5-ish" — could be A5, half-A4, or a custom size
Stock "something decent" — needs a human judgement call
Clean specs, in-range quantities, products you've configured — those send automatically. You only see the messy ones. See the three review modes →
05 · Your existing setup
You already own the three pieces of a quoting workflow: a pricing workbook, an inbox, and a reply template. MaxPax wires them together. Nothing to rebuild, nothing to migrate.
Upload the .xlsx you already maintain. We read straight from your cells.
Gmail, Outlook, IMAP — anything you already use. Customers email the address they always have.
