Overall Satisfaction with QuoteWerks

We use QuoteWerks to create and disseminate product quotes to our customers. As a small business owner with one full time employee(me), I was spending up to 30 minutes preparing one quote. I needed a solution that allowed me to develop a quote in a very short amount of time. Once I found, evaluated and implemented QuoteWerks I cut quote preparation time down to less than 5 minutes. In addition I like how it integrates with my Act! CRM. Act! become an easily accessible repository for the quotes in its native file format along with a PDF copy. As a small business, I know that I have just scratched the surface of its capabilities. But for those of you looking to improve your response time to customers, save time and channel that newly available time to other customer contact activities and develop a bank of product data, QuoteWerks is a wonderful solution to keep you organized and focused on customers.
  • Organize product data, costing, pricing and images in one central location
  • Quickly prepare and disseminate quotes
  • Time saved is redirected to other business management activities
  • Interface with Act! CRM keeps quotes organized by customer
  • Tech support is excellent for the few times I have had to contact them
  • None that cross my mind
  • Efficiency
  • Customers love the quick turn on quote
  • Professional appearance of the quote
QuoteWerks is the only application I have used other than Excel which was too time consuming.
I am a small business and it is well suited for my small operation. Looking at it globally, I imagine it will work well with large companies, too. As you evaluate purchasing the category of software, check it out with a local reseller, have them demonstrate the product, know exactly what you are trying to accomplish (for me to save time) and welcome the additional benefits (repository of product data, connectivity with a CRM).
