When it comes to producing quotes, there is no compromise between fast and accurate. Engineers and contractors demand both which leaves the manufacturer representative stuck in-between a rock and a hard place. Many manufacturer reps face numerous challenges that make this task almost impossible. Failure to deliver estimates with efficiency and accuracy can lead to lost opportunities and a bad rap. The question is, how can manufacturers reps meet the demand for delivering fast, accurate quotes?

There are many ways to interpret how one might automate his/her workflow. However, there is a proven solution that delivers measurable results and a higher ROI.
