Latest Prices Overnight |
All of ITQuoter's subscribing suppliers provide you (through us)
with updates as often as when any product in their range changes
price. These pricing files are automatically processed by software
on your site in the early hours of the morning.
When you open ITQuoter each morning, it is loaded with today's
prices and stock availability details (from some suppliers). The
saving in "price check" phone calls alone, will pay for
ITQuoter!

Fast Search & Browse |
Our research has identified searching for components as the biggest
time waster of all!
Most suppliers' price files are poorly keyed, and are usually searchable
only on a stock code or a rather rigid description.
Given that most were originally developed for their own internal
use, by staff who knew what they were looking for, it is hardly
surprising that they can be hard to locate.
ITQuoter re-keys every stock item to make it searchable by all
or part of its stock code; by all or part of its description; by
its product category; and more.
In addition to this, filters can be applied to searches to identify
just the components required for the job, saving you time, money
and frustration, and helping you to deliver precise quotations,
quickly!

Customised Price Breaks |
You can set up customised pricing for different classes of client.
You might choose to set up different pricing for, eg, Corporate,
Reseller and Educational customers, and have ITQuoter display that
pricing automatically whenever that class of client is selected.
With ITQuoter you can set dollar or percentage mark-ups to your
buy price; or work with discounts off RRP. Either way, you can set
and control all of the default sell prices within your system, based
on sound business rules of profitability and margin.
No calculators, no scribbled notes - everything is up-front on
the screen as you "massage" the quote. Your profit margins
are visible at all times and the opportunity for error and lost
margins is eliminated!
Your staff are then empowered to quote with confidence, and without
unnecessary reference to you, saving both you and them time, and
ensuring that the sales process flows smoothly for your customer.
And, "Yes, you can change pricing manually for a special quote,
on the fly.
 |
Tax, GST, VAT..... No Problem |
Forget reaching for a calculator ever again. A single keystroke
in ITQuoter and all values (cost, sell and profit) display exclusive
or inclusive of tax. Great when handling phone enquiries from exempt
parties - you have all the answers in front of you on the spot!
 |
Track Product Changes |
Products are colour coded to help you quickly identify the following:
New Products
End Of Life Products
Price Increases
Price Decreases
ITQuoter displays "end of life" products for a period
of time after suppliers have discontinued them, in acknowledgement
of the fact that you (or they) may still be carrying stock.
 |
Quote Into Word, Excel, etc. |
Get rid of the log-jamb between sales and administration! ITQuoter
enables sales staff to tag a selection of components, display their
selection for a last-minute check of profit, and then paste the
list to a Word, Excel, or other template.
The resultant document can contain not only standard stock descriptions
and pricing, but full manufacturer's notes as well.
The end result - produced in seconds - is a perfectly presented,
professional quotation, whose preparation did not involve the time,
the expense (or the delay) of your administrative staff's involvement.

Million Dollar HTML Quotes |
As well as being able to drop ITQuoter's lists - complete with
detailed supplier notes, product descriptions, etc - directly into
your own word processor templates, ITQuoter gives you the ability
to direct fax them; or to instantly create a colourful, high-impact
HTML document for immediate e-mail to your prospect.
Again, impressions count, and ITQuoter gives you the ability to
create a great impression - with a great quote!

Beat Your Competitor |
|
Take Unfair Advantage of Your Competition!
Let's face it: The best equipped competitor enjoys huge advantages
over their competition, and ITQuoter's technology gives you a huge
advantage!.
If you are able to provide instantaneous answers to questions of
price, of configuration (ITQuoter includes full manufacturer's notes
on stock lines), or of availability, your prospect gets the message
that you are on-the-ball, in command of the situation, switched
on, decisive and precise - all critical elements when it comes to
swinging a buying decision in your favour.
Throughout the course of the sales process, your prospect is forming
their first impression about your ability to ultimately deliver
goods and services to them, an impression formed from clues gathered
at every point in the sales process. If there is anything in the
process that unsettles your client, it can lead to, "Uh, I'll
just have to talk to my wife/husband about that...." (in other
words, "I'm out of here!").
If you cannot provide an immediate and firm price, with certainty,
your prospect, rather than seeing this as a lack of current information
on your part, is more likely to suspect that you are "manoeuvring
on price" to extract additional profit, or that you are "making
it up as you go".
Firm prices, quoted confidently, give buyers confidence - in you
and your business.
With ITQuoter, you enjoy both a productivity and an "impression"
advantage over your competition, when dealing with a existing and
prospective clients.
