a breeze...
- PrintQuote
Pro has a very user friendly software interface...when
creating a quote you do not have to move through
numerous screens to achieve the desired result.
Only one screen...just click on the relevant
tab and enter the required information to
produce your quote.
- If
you acquire new equipment or expand your production
lines, just add the costing preferences for
the new equipment and you are ready to include
it in your quotes.
- A
variety of processes can be included into
a single quote...so you cannot possibly dream
up a combination that cannot be accommodated
with PrintQuote Pro. It is no problem to add
costings for per item processes like gluing
or tying bows, adding hangers on calendars
etc.
-
Quote Printing jobs and Finishing jobs independently
from each other.
- PrintQuote
Pro creates keywords from your job descriptions
as you save the job...so at a later date you
can find a job based on words within the job
description...a great feature when looking
for similar jobs you have completed at an
earlier time.
- A
keyword feature...create and attach keywords
to any group of records in your database.
This enables you to make incredibly fast indexed
searches for those records that have keywords.
-
Optionally create keywords from the print
and finish item names for easy retrieval at
later date.
- You
can also find jobs based on the press used
for the job. Open a Client record and view
all jobs quoted for that client.
- Jobs
can be quoted using your clients stock. It
is optional to include guillotining or stock
costs in a job. What you include or do not
include in the final quote is optional.
-
Input comments for the various processes you
have created and the text for the quote is
built automatically. This quote text can be
edited, printed and saved with the quote.
-
The duplicate feature enables you to select
an existing quote, duplicate it, then rename
it for a new customer.
- Quotes
are stored in a database, not on paper, which
are searchable using keywords. A previously
completed quote can be found by searching
for any word used in the job description.
Handy if you have a vague recollection of
a previous completed quote you wish to find
and duplicate
-
Create 'Templates' as you save your quote...if
you have a quote you are preparing for a client
and you think it would make a good template,
just click on the 'Create Template' checkbox
and a template is created as you save their
quote.
- PrintQuote
Pro not only prints the finished quote for
a chosen quantity but will print all four
possible quantities on the quote. PrintQuote
Pro also prints all Job Sheets one for each
item included in the quote as well as detailed
costings of the Printing and/or Finishing
component as requested. This is especially
helpful to double check you have not forgotten
any process within a job.

based on the choices you have made. However
if you wish to modify the generated text you
can, adding personal comments etc.
- Once

be completed and returned.

any delays...the more time you give a client
to shop around increases the likelihood of you
loosing the job. There are now tax concessions
