QuoteWerks API/SDK:
Our API is a powerful 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 document.
The COM based QuoteWerks API with events is available for
QuoteWerks 4.0 (all builds) and QuoteWerks 3.0 build 18
and higher.
Programming knowledge is required to use our API. If you do not
have access to a developer, we have a
list of developers that have
experience with the QuoteWerks API.
The SDK contains sample code in Visual Basic 6.0 including the following:
- Contact Manager Integration
- Leasing
- Rounding
Here are some examples of functionality that you can add to QuoteWerks using
the API:
- You can create an application to retrieve shipping weight information
from the active quote, and present your user with a list of rate tables, and
when the user selects how they want to ship the order, you can write the
shipping method and amount back to the 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.
- You can retrieve all the information from the 5 tabs of the QuoteWerks
workbook, and the line item information and write the information out to a a
text file or other proprietary format to be used for importing into another
system. Or along the same lines, you can write an application that retrieves
information from the current quote and then send it to another application
using another applications API (like accounting software).
- You can even write your own contact management integration to QuoteWerks
using the API. You can capture events triggered in QuoteWerks when a contact
is requested to be pulled into the quote, when the quote is being saved,
converted to an order, printed and more!
The SDK is available free of charge. To request the SDK, please email
