Error Free Calculations Yes, Excel spreadsheets
do help in making complex calculations but one
cannot forget that use of spreadsheets require
significant manual intervention. Even a minor
error in one cell can have a cascading effect and
spell disaster. Also, as complexities in quoting
increase, it can be difficult to handle the
quoting process using spreadsheets. A better and
a popular alternative is to use an Online quoting
system. The tool simplifies your quoting process
by automating your calculation work. No matter
how complex your quote is, calculations are
automatically handled by the tool. The taxes,
freight charges and discounts every aspect of
quote is considered while calculating the total
sum.

Price Changes are Correctly Reflected You might
be using spreadsheets for recording product
pricing coming from various suppliers. Any
changes in pricing will have to be manually
updated, which is again fraught with errors.
Moreover, you will have to access the suppliers
official website or call him on a regular basis
to get updated pricing information. An Online
quoting tool will allow you to better manage
pricing changes, irrespective of how frequently
they change. When you are using this tool, all
the product related information coming from
different suppliers is structured and then stored
in one catalog. This catalog is directly
integrated with your quoting tool, hence you have
direct access to product information while quote
creation. Moreover, this catalog gets updated
automatically on a daily basis. So any changes in
product pricing or availability are reflected in
the catalog.

creating and sending quotes from anywhere, from
