Order Forms

From the buyer's design to a signed factory order.

Retailers start from the Trove Design Studio, add your advanced options, and send you a complete order form. They get an estimate on the spot, you send back the full quote, and the buyer can take that quote, win the deal, and order the home.

How an order moves

One record, from the design the buyer made to the home on its foundation.

  1. 1

    Design

    The buyer picks their home and options in the Design Studio on your site or the retailer's.

  2. 2

    Build the order

    The retailer switches to order mode and adds your advanced options, quantities and notes.

  3. 3

    Estimate, then quote

    An estimate shows immediately. Your quote team sends back the full factory quote.

  4. 4

    Win and order

    The buyer accepts the quote, the deal is won, and the home is ordered and tracked to delivery.

Start from the design

The buyer's design becomes the order

Every cabinet, countertop, floor and siding choice the buyer made in the Design Studio is already on the order. The retailer never retypes a selection or reads one off a screenshot.

  • Selections carry over from the studio, Pro Renderings included
  • Retailers add options buyers don't see: structure, electrical, plumbing
  • Quantities, where it goes in the home, and a note on any line

Every selection the buyer made is already on the order. The retailer adds the rest.

Complete every time

Orders you can build from

Before an order locks, Trove checks it against your catalog. Anything you can't build from stops it; anything that only needs a look is flagged and stays visible to the rep.

  • Blockers stop an incomplete order before it reaches you
  • Warnings pass through, flagged for your team
  • Locked revisions: what you quoted is what was sent

Estimate and quote

An estimate now, your quote next

Retailers can give the buyer a number on the spot from your catalog pricing. The full order goes to your quote team, who return the factory quote, and that quote is the price of record.

  • Quotes assigned to your team by retailer, round robin, or by hand
  • Your team opens each request from a secure link, no login needed
  • Retailers see who has their quote, and slow quotes get a reminder

Quote accepted, home ordered, build tracked

The retailer takes your quote to the buyer and closes the deal in their Trove CRM. Once it's ordered, everyone sees the home move through production to delivery.

  • Order draft, locked, sent for quote, quote received
  • Ordered, in production, offline, delivered
  • Delivered homes flow straight into service and warranty

Why factories and retailers use it

No more handwritten sheets

Orders arrive complete and in one format, so your team stops chasing missing details.

Faster yes from buyers

Retailers quote the buyer while they're still excited, not a week later.

One version of the truth

Revisions lock when they're sent, so the quote always matches the order.

Quotes that don't stall

Every quote has an owner, and slow ones get a reminder.

Built the way it was sold

What the buyer designed is what the plant builds.

Visible to delivery

Retailers and buyers see production and delivery without calling the plant.
