“We have been using
QuoteWerks for many years now and have found it an essential part of
our business. It saves us a lot of time and gives us one location to
organize all of our product pricing information. We work with over
30 different product vendors and QuoteWerks has makes it easy to
provide timely quotes to our Customers. We have integrated
QuoteWerks with our Goldmine Contact Database and our QuickBooks
financial software. This saves us hours each day and helps us
maintain a consistent flow of information across all aspects of our
business.”
- Dave Theurer, Intermountain Environmental, Inc.

” We love QuoteWerks, and have been big fans ever since the days
of QuotePro.
This product keeps our salespeople out of our accounting system
(always a good thing), and ensures that our inventory file only
contains items that we have actually sold. This is critical as
systems integrators, where we quote thousands of different products
each year, but sell several hundred. QuoteWerks also makes the
purchasing process much simpler, by automatically creating purchase
orders for each vendor on a order.
As a reseller of QuoteWerks, we also really appreciate how quickly
we can rollout and implement QuoteWerks for our clients. They
appreciate how flexible and customizable QuoteWerks is for their
businesses.
My favorite thing about QuoteWerks though, is how our suggestions
are actually listened to and acted on. I have seen changes made to
the product within less than a year based on suggestions that I
made.
It just keeps getting better and better!”
- Kathryn Prager, Computer Upgrades, Inc., QuoteWerks Sales Partner
and User

“When reviewing quoting software for our company, I read many
companies’ claims that they provided the best and easiest way to
prepare and send quotes to customers. I did not find this the case
until I found QuoteWerks.
The QuoteWerks sales team provided me an overview of the software
and a trial period to which I put it through its paces. I found it
to be the most simple, straight-forward software in its category,
robust and packed with many great features, at a reasonable cost.
Most of all though is the customizability of the software to meet
the needs of my company. This in conjunction with the excellent
customer service which I received at all levels made it the perfect
product for our company.
I feel we made the best choice possible.”
- John Jones, Vision Specialties

“I wanted to let you know that we have been very impressed with
QuoteWerks and your organization. The application works seamlessly
with ACT! and has all the features that we would want like the
automatic scheduling of a follow up, the installation of the
document link and the auto fill buttons.
Your technical support is also the very best we have encountered
over the years. There is always a live person available when you
need them.
We love QuoteWerks! Thanks for your services.”
- Kamron Kirkconnell, Internal Technologies

“QuoteWerks is central to our business. It has given us complete
control of our sales process & the ability to create quotation
designs which are unmatched by our competitors. Being in an industry
where product images are important, the ability to have pictures
automatically on our quotations is excellent. We can now simply
manage our purchase orders & invoices and provide instant
communications to our customers.
We have also created comprehensive management reports which give us
live sales opportunity data & management performance & profitability
reports. Add to this the simple way it links into other major
software, we know we have made the best choice to keep us ahead in
our industry.”
- David Long, CEO, Sourcing City

” Bringing in QuoteWerks into my company was the best decision I
could have made for the following reasons:
- Our quotes are accurate every time.
- The quote has a very professional façade and tasteful
presentation; customized for our company.
- The cycle time from customer sales call to producing a quote
has been reduced from 2 days to 2 hours.
- Converting quotes to orders with attached contracts &
drawings is a mouse click away.
- Tracking and finding old quotes is easy in with the database
search.
- My competition look like they are in kindergarten compared
to our quotes.
- Making changes to the product database is quick & easy,
including new product additions and update pricing.
- I spend more time selling rather than sitting at a
computer!”
- Brian McGarry, President, Sapphire Pools

“We began using QuoteWerks 4 years ago and have experienced not
only a better product but also better service than from any of the
other business software applications we use. QuoteWerks' service is
second to none in the field of software support. Responses are quick
and the staff is always polite, understanding and helpful. For
anyone considering a quotation software solution, we highly
recommend QuoteWerks.”
- Paul Hackett, President, Emotron, Inc.

“We are an industrial equipment distributor with 24 staff
including 12 installers. We sell and install lubrication equipment
in fast lubes, car dealerships, fleets, mines and municipalities
across Alberta, Canada. We also install industrial fuel sites and
cardlock systems.
We would be happy to recommend QuoteWerks. Some of the things we
like are:
- The flexibility of pricing and costing systems
- The printing options and ability to change and customize
quotes and reports
- The ability to add detailed notes (sometimes several pages)
- The ability to display groups and items the way we want them
displayed
- The ability to build bundles for packages of fittings
The single huge benefit that we did not expect was the ability of
QuoteWerks to carry the projects onward to the order and invoice
stage. We were expecting the quoting capability but we are using it
to follow the projects, using about 15 different status
designations, right through to the invoice stage. Once invoiced by
our accounting program, we note the invoice # on the document, lock
the record and the rest of the company still has access to the
details of the transaction indefinitely.
Overall, we have processed 12,841 documents, 9952 of them being
sales, since 2003. We would be pleased to recommend this program to
anyone.”
- Joe Murphy, President, Fireball Equipment, Ltd.

“I have been a loyal QuoteWerks customer for the last 5-6 years,
and a proponent even longer. I recommend QuoteWerks to associate
friends as well as the multiple factories that I represent, though
never to competitor reps who ask me why my quotes look so good. My
quotes do look better than anything my competitors provide, and
because of multiple templates that I’ve created over the years, most
of the primary quotes that I do, I can provide in 5 minutes or less.
I looked at all of the solutions out there. When I joined my
partner, he was doing all of his quotes in Excel. While he was
intimidated by software in general – still is, even he got the hang
of things pretty quickly. Is it as simple out-of-the-box as a couple
of the other quoting solutions out there? Not quite. However, those
other solutions, while simple, have limitations that QuoteWerks does
not. The ability to easily clone and customize print layouts is
integral to my business – each quotation incorporates the logo of
the factory being quoted. Creating new layouts now takes me all of 5
minutes. A novice user can use the product quite well; a more
computer savvy user can leverage the power of the program even more.
Because of the custom fields, I am able to specify the quote
tracking to most any level I desire. I’m sure if I spent more time
unlocking the potential, I could leverage it even more.
Bottom line: I make more money BECAUSE of QuoteWerks.”
- Principal, CGA

“As for the estimate itself, it is a work of art. You guys really
have a winner.”
- Ed Bradley, Owner, AVS Integrations Corp.

“We are a GoldMine reseller based in the UK and are routinely asked about
quotation systems that can integrate with GoldMine or ACT. We started reselling
QuoteWerks over 7 years ago and support an installed base of 100's of QuoteWerks
users. For us the key benefits of QuoteWerks are:
- Excellent functionality making it easy to configure the
application to support a wide variety of business models.
- Incredibly stable; we simply don't have support issues with
either the Access or SQL versions of the application, on the
very rare occasions we have had to resort to using the
QuoteWerks helpdesk the issues have been resolved in an
effective and timely manner, further the vast majority of times
when we have had cause to use QuoteWerks support the issue is a
"How Do I?" rather than fixing broken software.
- The QuoteWerks development team is responsive to enhancement
requests from their customer base; the application is driven by
customer needs not technology. This has resulted in an
application that is very rich in useful, practical
functionality.
QuoteWerks sets bench marks on product stability, functionality and support
responsiveness that are way beyond those of any other application developers
that we deal with. In summary great product, great company.”
- Richard Dodds, RD Associates MK Ltd. in the United Kingdom

”We have used QuoteWerks for the past couple years. QuoteWerks is
an invaluable tool for the success of our commercial business. The
benefits QuoteWerks provides me are:
- We are able to provide quotes quickly, with professional
appearance while always knowing what our % and $ margins are. We
have been able to increase our overall profit margins by a
minimum of 5% since using QuoteWerks.
- Importing databases is of course, very important. The system
allows importation from a spreadsheet. I can tweak the
spreadsheet with information that is important to me and then
import it. By importing the database, errors are eliminated and
I can make complete changes as vendor's send updates.
- QuoteWerks pulls directly from my Act!, saves a quote in
Act! and opens the quote in QuoteWerks when I click onto it.
- The quote's appearance (layout) can be easily modified. I
have a repetitive customer that I made up a special template and
use it just for their quote.
- I can easily monitor and change the margin on each item
which is a really valuable tool.
- I made up a freight template that I use internally on most
quotes. I print out the quote and it shows the freight on each
item. This is valuable if I have a number of vendors on one
quote and need to figure freight cost by vendor. The system will
show the total weight on a given quote.
- With everyone having access to computes, being able to
e-mail the quotes is valuable verses faxing them.
- The transport feature is great: Since I am responsible for
our commercial department, it allows me to tweak the working
quote and send it back to a remote sales office to finish.
- I found it important that I only needed to call support a
couple times over the years. Most questions can be answered via
the book or on-line. Phone support was valuable when needed.
To summarize: QuoteWerks is a monetary and time commitment. Once
you use it and understand what it is capable of doing, it will be a
valuable tool that you will not want to (or can afford to) be
without.”
- Tim Scheller, Scheller’s Fitness & Cycling

"Just a short note to tell you how much I really like your product. I have only had it in use for about 3 weeks. The product has paid for itself in that time and then some. I also want to add that your support staff is outstanding. All I need to do is call, and my questions and/or problems are solved. Your product has given me the ability to create quotes quickly and professionally, allowed me the opportunity to generate more sales, and given me back personal time that I used to spend writing up quotes.
Thanks again for such a great product."
- David Heiby UZ Engineered Products

"I normally do not get excited over software, quite the contrary, it
actually bores me to death. QuoteWerks, on the other hand, does pay
for itself and is exciting to use as well as robust in what the
software accomplishes. Just the time saved and the custom quotes
that QuoteWerks allows the end-user to do with ease makes my quotes
stand above the competitions. I can honestly say that I have gained
clients and have been awarded contracts due to the professional
looking quotes / proposals that I deliver even when my product is
the same as my competition. I would love to think that it was me as
the super salesperson, but time and time again, QuoteWerks helps
close the sale as much as I do. "
- Bud McCormick, Marketing Director , Paradise Foam,
LLC

The lightning quick turn-around time that I can now deliver, thanks to QuoteWerks, will certainly be a competitive advantage for us."
- Mark Schmale Accelerated Post

"I just want to express my gratitude to you for not only your excellent product, but also for your outstanding support.

Outstanding! Thank you for all of your help."
- Brian Tommasone, Senior Engineer NCS DataCom, Inc.

The sales, service and product have been outstanding. I love the idea that I can get real, helpful answers from your website.
On top of that, the application helps me spend more time selling and look more professional at the same time. As a small business man, I am basically in the information management business. QuoteWerks has become a key tool."

- Carlos Featherston, Consultant CF Consulting Ltd.

"This program has a seldom-found flexibility to adapt according to a specific need. It is more difficult to find a product that is suitable for a manufacturer's representative firm. After extensive searching and trying several products, I have selected QuoteWerks and am most happy with the results."
- Jim Hager, President McFadden Sales, Inc.

"You guys have the best support in the industry, keep up the good work!"
- Paul Alvarez GTC Systems

This set-up is great, I can go right from Goldmine to QuoteWerks, punch in some part numbers, generate a quote and email it in the time it use to take me just to write an email to someone in Canton giving them all the info needed to generate a quote. Thanks."
- Chuck Gleason, Sales Engineer Instron Corporation

- Jim Horany Texas Pump

"We purchased your product only weeks ago after many years of designing and using our own Clipper based software. This has undoubtedly made a significant contribution to our 'winning' a prestigious new account. The ability for us, to produce high quality quotes with product pictures incorporated together with spec sheets and the like, obviously made a huge impact on our client. The facility to quickly and easily move from a 'draft quote' with numerous options, to a final quote sent speedily via email, was critical to our success. This may be only one successful quote but for us this one new account will open up many doors. For any business looking to get an edge over their competitors, (particularly in high tech) we unreservedly recommend your product. "
- Carleton Croft, General Manager CRA Data Solutions.
