Introduction to QuoteWerks
  • QuoteWerks allows companies in every industry to
    create detailed quotes with speed and efficiency.
    If you want to save time and money when quoting,
    selling, ordering, and purchasing products and
    services you need QuoteWerks.
  • It Integrates seamlessly with contact managers
    like ACT!, GoldMine, Maximizer, Outlook,
    salesforce.com, SalesLogix, and TeleMagic
    eliminating the need to re-type customer
    information. QuoteWerks also has it's own
    built-in contact database.

3
Products/Services
  • Support for over 200 separate product/service
    databases
  • Import your products/services via the Import
    Wizard
  • Adding your products/services manually to a new
    database
  • Products/Services in each database can be
    organized in hierarchical folders
  • There are many methods to locate the
    product/service that you want to add to the
    quote.

4
Adding Products/Services to your Quote
  • Locating and adding products/services to the
    quote is easy and flexible.
  • Enter items on the fly
  • Select part numbers fast using the Quick Lookup
    tool bar.
  • Use Robust Searching tools on the product lookup
    window.

5
Many ways to price products/services
  • Enter Price Manually
  • Gross Margin
  • Markup from Cost
  • Discount from List
  • Same as List
  • Volume/Quantity Based
  • Customer Based Price Levels (can be driven by CRM
    customer data)
  • Based on Customer/Product profile (can be driven
    by CRM customer data)
  • Formula Based

6
Bundles
  • You can create a bundle that includes all the
    items that you want to quote together and you can
    specify details like the quantity of each item
    that should be included in the bundle.
  • With a bundle created, the next time you need to
    add that group of items to the quote, you can
    simply select the bundle, and all the items in
    the bundle will be added to the quote.
  • This saves you time by not requiring that you
    find and select each item, and it ensures that
    you will not forget to remember some of the items
    that are supposed to be in the bundle.

7
Configurator
  • The QuoteWerks configurator is used to simplify
    the quoting process for sales representatives.
    The configurator will walk a salesperson through
    a step-by-step process of building the quote.
  • The configurator ensures that the salesperson
    will not forget any steps, and lowers the
    experience level required by the salesperson
    since the configurator is guiding them through
    the selections.

8
Required, Optional, and Substitute Items
  • Required Items
  • You can define that a picture frame item
    requires a matting item and a glass item. When
    this picture item is added to the quote, the
    required items are automatically added to the
    quote with it.
  • Optional Items
  • You can also define items that are options
    for the picture frame item like a two color
    matting backround item.
  • Substitute Items
  • You can also define items that are
    substitutes for the picture frame, matting or
    glass.

9
Latest or Best Pricing
  • The QuoteWerks Refresh with Latest Price feature
    will refresh the prices of the items in the quote
    with the current prices.
  • Whether the price of the product increased or
    decreased, QuoteWerks will prompt you to decide
    if you want to pass the profit/loss on to your
    customer, or absorb it yourself.
  • The QuoteWerks Refresh with Best Price feature
    will search all the vendor product databases to
    find the vendor that has the lowest purchasing
    price for each of the items in your quote.

10
Printing your quotes
  • QuoteWerks enables you to completely customize
    the printed look of the quote with our layout
    designer, and create different print layouts for
    different types of quotes. In your layout, you
    can
  • Add Fields
  • Add Labels
  • Add Pictures
  • Add Lines
  • Add Formulas
  • Additionally, you can create formulas for leasing
    calculations, and other complex calculations.
  • QuoteWerks also allows you to add cover pages,
    literature, and spec sheets to quote.

11
Email you quotes
  • Quotes can be emailed using our built-in email
    client or by automating Outlook.
  • The quote can be sent out in PDF or RTF formats.

12
Sales Rep Commission
  • Tracking salesperson commission rates can be a
    tedious and time-consuming task. QuoteWerks can
    save time in this area too.
  • QuoteWerks can be setup to calculate each
    salespersons commission in one of 3 ways.
  • The percentage of the total sale
  • The percentage of the total profit
  • Use a sliding scale method
  • Every month (or as often as you like), you can
    produce commission reports using the built-in
    QuoteWerks reporting features.

13
Reporting
  • The built-in QuoteWerks Report designer enables
    you to create reports on all of the information
    that is in QuoteWerks specifically
  • List of Outstanding quotes
  • Commission Reports
  • List of Today's Orders
  • List of the number of times a product/service has
    been quoted.
  • Report of all products/services quoted.
  • Report of all customers quoted to.
  • Product price catalogs

There are no practical limits to the number or
type of reports that you can create!
14
Purchase Orders
  • After you have converted your quote to an order,
    QuoteWerks can automatically create a separate
    purchase order for each vendor on your quote
    saving you a tremendous amount of time.

15
Security
  • QuoteWerks enables you to manage the security of
    your data. Security features are especially
    important in multi-user network installations,
    and also in remote installations such as
    installations on laptops.
  • The QuoteWerks administrator can specify who can
    view, modify, and delete each salesperson's
    quotes.
  • The QuoteWerks administrator can also specify
    individual access rights for each user to limit
    their ability to perform tasks like deleting
    products from the product database, modifying
    print layouts, and many more.
  • These security rights are centrally maintained,
    and can also be enforced on laptop installations
    of QuoteWerks.

16
Accounting Links
  • QuoteWerks has optional links to QuickBooks and
    Peachtree accounting software, and also has an
    Open Export Module that can be used to export
    QuoteWerks orders to other accounting software.
  • These links are designed to further save time by
    eliminating the need to re-type order
    information.

17
Customize QuoteWerks
  • The columns that you see on the quote can be
    customized to your preference.
  • You can change the order that the columns are
    displayed in, and you can rename the columns.
  • QuoteWerks also has built in custom text fields
    for both the Document Items tab (per product) and
    Custom Tab (per quote)
  • 10 custom text fields
  • 2 custom number fields
  • 2 custom date fields

18
QuoteWerks API
  • Our API is a powerful new way to extend the
    functionality of QuoteWerks by creating custom
    applications that perform any specialized task
    you need by reading and writing information to
    the active QuoteWerks quote.
  • You can create an application that analyzes the
    quote totals, and the items on the quote to
    provide your customer with lease payment options.
    Once the user selects an option, the details can
    be written back to the quote.
  • You can create applications that analyze the
    content of the quote to perform validation and
    checks that normally would require a supervisor
    to review.

19
Some other powerful features of QuoteWerks
  • Remote user synchronization
  • Adjust Items on the quote
  • Item attributes
  • Converting the quote to an order/invoice
  • To Save Time
  • Use Document Templates
  • QuoteWerks Paste Special Feature

    features.
