The pictures are automatically downloaded and saved into the QuoteWerks\Images folder. Currently Etilize will return part numbers for Australian distributors Ingram Micro and Dicker Data. Real-time pricing (cost) and availability will be returned for Ingram Micro, and daily static pricing (cost/list) and availability will be returned for Dicker Data. Accessory and comparison features are not included at this time. [Service Release: 3.07]
