Easily generate and track all customer or prospect RFQs from the time of receipt until an order is placed. Rapidly calculate all material, sub- contract, labor and burden costs for multiple quantities of a part, pulling information from the last time you quoted or ran the part, the last time you quoted or ran something similar, or from a part template. Then add any additional special charges, such as tooling or design charges, which can be either quoted separately or lumped into the piece part prices.
When the order comes in, simply punch a few keys, and the detailed routing will be ready to go to the floor or ready to make additional changes. With Quote Management, get quotations out more quickly, be more accurate with pricing and lead times, and increase your company’s bottom line.
