QuoteWerks makes it easy to do that.

  • Financing Options
  • Etilize to our distributors for pricing
  • Organization

  • More capable to working with other applications
  • The template feature would like to be a little more user friendly

Very integrated software, simple, streamlines the process of creating quotes and with a great technical support team

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We saw the need to acquire QuoteWerks because our quoting system was very manual. Now with this software, we streamline the entire process. The start-up was done very quickly because it had a customer service that accompanied us at all times, and until the entire installation was ready, they did not leave us, and that made us very happy because we knew that if at any time we needed their help, we called them and they helped us right away.

Pros

  • We put together quotes very easily and very quickly.
  • Integrates seamlessly with the sales and accounting team.
  • The great advantage of QuoteWerks is that it has a very low learning curve. The ease of use makes a novice look like a professional.

Cons

  • I don't like that it doesn't have a cloud version because if it did, it would make our work easier, we could better integrate it with other software, and we'd get better results.

Return on Investment

  • QuoteWerks is a necessary software to create quotes and proposals. It will help you throughout the process. It is automated and does not require much prior knowledge. In addition, it is not expensive to acquire, which makes it a software very capable of achieving the objectives that are required.
