Keeps your eye on the bottom line throughout the estimating process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speeds responses to customer requests with accurate information on costs and margins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Makes it easy for you to build costed bills & routing then price them.

 

  

EASYESTIMATE extends the capabilities of the SMARTQUOTE module by allowing users to build product structures (bills of material) and manufacturing requirements (routings). It helps you do cost build-ups, and provides critical margin analysis for management.

EASYESTIMATE is ideal for companies that engineer to order or provide contract services, and for job shops. EASYESTIMATE allows users of CONFIGURATOR+ to review standard configurations (bills of resources) generated by CONFIGURATOR+ and modify them to further accommodate custom client specs. It compliments configurator systems in complex environments.

EASYESTIMATE connects to an external database (via ODBC) for parts, work centers, and their associated standard costs. It calculates the price for each bill of resource line item based on the margin, markup, or target price. Then EASYESTIMATE rolls-up and displays the total cost, price, and margin for the estimate. You can use "costbooks" provided by suppliers, instead of relying only on historical cost build-ups.

EASYESTIMATE also allows you to examine the cost implications of a variety of "what if" scenarios.

It allows users to re-cost an estimate with one keystroke by looking up costs in a user-defined cost database. When used with the PRICEMASTER module, EASYESTIMATE updates item costs according to quantity breakpoints. EASYESTIMATE will also support "virtual" bill of resource items.

Meet your customers’ demands. EASYESTIMATE lets you customize your offerings to solve your customers’ problems. By more precisely meeting customers’ current needs and exact specifications, your products will be more competitive in the marketplace.

Accurately quote complex products. Traditionally, extensive experience (and a lot of time) was required to accurately quote projects with multiple "variables" (custom modifications to complex processes, multiple price breakpoints, etc.). EASYESTIMATE makes it easy for anyone in the organization to quickly and accurately produce complex quotes.

Protect the bottom line. Creating the quote is just the beginning. EASYESTIMATE shows your projected cost, the suggested price, and the resulting profit margin, which lets you keep your eye on the bottom line all the way through the estimating process.

Powerful Functionality

  • Field mapping utility lets you easily map data from external system into EASYESTIMATE
  • Supports "virtual" bill-of-resource items for one-time-only estimates
  • Uses standard, last, or quoted component costs for "real" costs
  • Instantly retrieves/ updates item costs (including quantity breakpoints) from WRIGHTTOOLS PRICEMASTER module or other user-defined cost data source.
  • Search for external item masters and labor workcenters by:
    item number
    description
    custom criteria—e.g. mfr’s part #
  • Attach job instructions to each work center item
  • Attach notes to each bill-of-resource line item in the estimate

Easy To Use

  • Re-cost an estimate with one keystroke (when connected to external cost source)

Reports & Documents

  • Calculates price for each bill of resource line item based on margin, markup, or target price
  • Tallies and displays total cost, price, and margin for the entire estimate

Compatibility & Connectivity

  • Connects to optional WRIGHTTOOLS PRICEMASTER module for item costs and quantity breakpoint data.
  • Connects to an external database through ODBC for parts, workcenters, and their associated standard costs
