Testimonials from the people who use QuoteWerks every day
"We at Main Street Software have found QuoteWerks to
be a joy to work with! From the initial ordering process
where we received back 4 emails with everything we needed
to get started to our complete integration with ConnectWise
we could not be more pleased. In the nearly 30 years we
have been working with software, we have rarely seen an
application install, setup and operate as easily and
clearly as QuoteWerks. After 1 week, we had our Sage
Profession Item master file as a QuoteWerks Product Source,
we had real-time Etilize connections with Ingram, D &
H, and Tech Data, and completed our ConnectWise
integration. We added the downloaded Tech Data prodcod file
and added this as a product source. To our surprise, we did
not have to do anything besides follow the QuoteWerks
wizard and it built the Categories and Manufacturer
folders! Over 600,000 products and the lookups are instant
and no import was needed, it pulls right from the .DBF file
that is easily updated.
We especially like the ability to merge our various Cover
Pages, Literature, and Spec sheets on the fly with the
Quote into a single unified document. We are now completing
our standard quote templates, our bundles, and
configurations. We are running it live and producing quotes
and proposals that are more professional, more accurate and
far faster than ever before. We are actually looking at
quoting as FUN rather than a labor!
Our productivity will improve significantly and our
QuoteWerks return on investment will be a couple of months!
We look forward to adding the QuoteValet when it is
released. "
- Robert Aubry, Vice President, Main Street Software, Inc.
"For the first
10 years in business, we used a customized spreadsheet for
all of our quotes. I created all quotes for my salespeople
and it worked... I thought. After looking at QuoteWerks, I
didn't even look at anything else - I immediately made
the purchase. Over the past 6 months of using QuoteWerks,
my time spent on quotes has been drastically reduced and my
quotes now look 1,000 times better. In the past, a lot of
'pricing' information was in my head, but now
anyone in my company can do a quote without any pricing
decisions to make. I have everything preloaded so there are
no decisions for them to make other than what to quote and
how quick to get a signature! Over the past few months, I
continue to implement features that make QuoteWerks even
better for our use, with the latest being Etilize, which is
an absolutely amazing tool. QuoteWerks is now an essential
part of our company - it has made us more efficient,
delivers exceptional quotes and in turn has definitely made
us more money. Thank you QuoteWerks!"
- Scott Edwards, President, Netranom Communications
- Heidi Fischer, I-Evolve
"I wanted to take a moment to send you an email and
let you know how much I appreciate the assistance that
I've received from both Joshua (sales) and Shawn (tech
support). I have, on numerous occasions, contacted
QuoteWerks to assist with the installation, configuration,
and integration of QuoteWerks with our ConnectWise
software. It is very comforting to know that I am able to
reach a live person for support almost instantaneously. On
absolutely every question that I have written for myself
throughout the deployment process I was able to receive a
knowledgeable, and suitable answer from either Joshua or
Shawn. The extensive knowledge that both these individuals
possess of the software they sell and support is nothing
short of impressive."
- Thomas J. Lohr, Operations Manager, Techworks Consulting,
Inc.
"QuoteWerks has very quickly and effortlessly
revolutionized our purchasing processes here at MIS
Solutions. We downloaded the evaluation copy of QuoteWerks
and found it very easy to use; in fact it was so easy that
we were able to replace our old purchasing process within a
week. This is the first product that we have used that ties
directly into ConnectWise and we are really seeing the
benefits of using such a closely integrated product. We can
now create quotes, schedule follow-ups and create
opportunities in minutes - all from within one single tool.
QuoteWerks has very quickly become our go to system. We
have been using it now for about 2 months and I can
confidently say that we have literally saved thousands.
Joshua Buzzard and his team have provided us spectacular
support. We just can't get over how easy it's been
to make the switch - not to mention how much money we have
saved! If you are a ConnectWise customer and are looking
for a quick and easy quoting system then I can confidently
say that you will have a hard time finding something that
will be able to work as well as QuoteWerks - at any price
point!"
- Lliam Holmes, CEO, MIS Solutions
"We invested in
QuoteWerks many years ago to work alongside ACT! and
QuoteWerks has proved itself again and again to be robust,
reliable, and an invaluable tool within my sales
department. Also the technical support we have received
over the years has always been superb, as you have again
demonstrated. I only wish other applications and suppliers
followed QuoteWerks' example."
- Leo Craig, Sales Manager, Riello Galatrek, Ltd.
"QuoteWerks has changed
the way we quote forever. We cannot go back to the
"old" way. QuoteWerks has allowed us to remove
the "black art" that only sales people with
twenty years experience could apply. The team at Quintadena have been
first class from the initial project outline to the
continuing support of QuoteWerks."
"I love QuoteWerks,
it's a fantastic product and I'd love to take it
and apply it to other companies. Now that I've been
using it for several months I don't know how I ever did
without it."
- James Walker, President, Preferred Computers, Inc

"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, H2flow, 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
"I must say your product is absolutely brilliant! And
I have only been using it for 1 day, the benefits are
really outstanding for my company thanks again!"
- Peter Bates, Sales & Marketing Director Zepher UK Ltd
"Your software is
outstanding. You will literally save me days each month
over my old semi-automated process. I just sent out three
quotes totaling $200,000 in a fraction of the time I used
to spend. 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. With the help that I have received from you
combined with the capabilities of your software, our
process of generating quotes for customers has gone from 45
minutes per quote down to under 5 minutes. Outstanding!
Thank you for all of your help."
- Brian Tommasone, Senior Engineer NCS DataCom, Inc.
"Just wanted to let you know that I have dealt with
many people in tech support in many companies.
Your tech support people seem to be the most informed and
helpful tech support people that I have ever dealt with
anywhere.
We sell and install computer networks and equipment and
have found your tech support people a pleasure to deal
with."
- Bob Ordan, President Knights Nets, Inc.

been so impressed by every type of contact I have had with
your company.
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."
- Paul Matthews
"You have a great
product and we have already put it to great use. My
customers are really surprised in how fast they receive our

"[QuoteWerks] has cut down my quoting time in half,
and I am always sure that I have never forgotten to include
all the necessary parts. It is the best money I have spent
in the automation of my small business."
- 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
"I wanted to let you know that QuoteWerks is hot. 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."
"May I take this opportunity to congratulate you and
the team there on a truly fantastic package. We've only
being using it for a week, but continue to be amazed at

"We constantly get comments
on how good, professional, and timely our quotes are for
customers and prospects. If they only knew how easy it was
to make one up!"
- 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. "

concern. You guys Rock!"
