Improve Profit Margins

Profit is the difference between the cost of supply and the sales price. The cost of supply includes all the aspects of running your company, the cost of raw materials and labour, as well as the cost of shipping to the client. QuotationBuilder reduces the cost of running your company by reducing the time and effort to configure your products to the clients requirements, costing them, and producing a professional quotation documents for them. Results from field studies sugest that a time saving of up to 90% is achievable with QuotationBuilder.

Accurate sales price calculation can make the difference between a profitable order and a costly order. QuotationBuilder provides you with the means of accurate price calculations based on the cost of supply of the product by taking into account variable factors like commodity price variations and cost of shipping.

Reduce Quotation lead time

A traditional quotation cycle involves short bursts of business activities and a great deal of waiting for resources to be available. For example, waiting for an engineer to configure a product to the customer requirements, waiting for production to estimate the production cost, waiting for the purchaser to allocate material costs, or waiting for approvals from the relevant persons. QuotationBuilder removes the waiting time and automates the majority of the processes to quote a customer.

QuotationBuilder enables products to be configured and costed in minutes rather than hours, or days, based on your own configuration and costing rules. QuotationBuilder helps you extract the best out of the experts in your company. It redefines their role from administrators to rule setters.

Improve Customer service

Your customers make your business profitable. QuotationBuilder helps you look after your customers’ needs, it helps you understand your customers order patterns, and stream line your quotation and order intake processes.

If you give your customer a good service, quote him in the shortest possible time, and provide him with accurate technical datasheets, then he is less likely to go shopping at your competitors. Not only that, your customer will remember you and come back to you again, and again.

Scalable software

QuotationBuilder scales with your business needs with little or no further expenditure. The system is designed to anticipate changes and accommodate them in a controlled environment. A trained super-user may change the behaviour of QuotationBuilder by adding attributes, adding custom calculations, changing the workflow, adding configurations and adding new report styles. They can even change the look and feel of the application to stream line your sales process.

The architecture of the system is based on a modern system configuration that utilized a robust SQL database as well as XML and HTML. To your business, this means the ability to integrate to other systems such as ERP (for example SAP), other product databases, CRM, online catalogues, and accounting packages.
