Quick Quotes

Overview

“Powerful” is the only word needed to describe Shafer’s exciting new Quick Quotes module. Designed to enhance your sales process, a phone call or a set of plans is all that is needed to quickly create a quote that can include any level of detail including descriptions, parts/material, labor, etc.

You can create Alerts and Follow Up messages so that a new quote is not overlooked. Added personalization options will allow you to change the “name” of your document to a Quote, Proposal or Estimate. You'll be able to arrange the sections of your quote and choose how much detail is displayed for each section.

Integration with a number of other modules throughout Shafer's makes this a powerful feature to have working for you. The Customer Master and Sales Lead files will let you generate new quotes, as well as the Service Work Generator (PIW) master files. Once a quote is completed, a single Print/Send function will allow you to print the document, fax it or email it as an attachment to the customer. You will also be able to export the data. All quotes are saved and stored in the master file where they are created so that they may easily be retrieved. When the quote is accepted, it can easily be processed for billing, shipping, etc.

· Print Preview

Like many of the other print functions found throughout Shafer's Management System, the Quick Quote Print option will allow you to preview your quote onscreen before sending it to the printer. This is especially helpful for determining the layout of your quote (see Personalization).

· Email/Export

From the Print Preview screen you may also Email or Export a quote. The Email option will convert the quote to the type of your choice (shown at right) and then automatically open up the Shafer's Email engine with the file attached. The Export option will let you convert the quote to one of the formats at right, and you may then save it to your computer.

· Processing

Besides printing, emailing and exporting capabilities, Shafer's also provides options for processing a quote once it has been accepted/approved. You may process the quote through billing, check stock levels on items quoted, and even create a new pick list for the items via the inventory module.

· Alerts/Follow Ups

A special "Alert" option is provided so that users may be alerted of a quote when entering a customer's file. This ensures that no sales are overlooked. Whenever an alert is created, a follow-up notification may also be generated and sent to a specific user. For example, if a user is entering a quote for a different employee/salesperson, that user may want to send a follow-up note to the salesperson letting him know that a quote was generated.
