out of estimating. Estimates that once took hours are now done in minutes—most in under
3 minutes, start to finish. You get an in-house copy of estimates with cost,
time required for each operation, and imposition
details, a quote letter with Specs and final prices. |

specs. Operations are
selected automatically, You can override any selection, or you can manually select any operation.
Sales and customer service people can easily enter quotes. Popup
menus everywhere and default values speed input and minimize typing. You can
almost create an entire estimate just by hitting the enter key. |
|

which questions are asked. Never any irrelevant input. Only questions
related to job type. |
|

at the bottom of the screen. You never move the curser. All job specifications are on
easy to change edit screens. |
|

to most questions almost eliminate typing. |

modified, and recalculated as often as you like. Change specs
and the quote letter can be recreated and price recalculated with just a
click or two of the mouse. |

quotes. Just clone them, change the name and quantities (or anything
else you want) and you're done in just seconds. |

phone and enter them directly into the computer. If the customer is in a hurry you can

Sales people or secretaries can take job specs, and even
calculate routine jobs, leaving the estimator free to review quotes and concentrate on
more complex and profitable activity. |
