About Print Management Software and Legacy Software
The founder of Legacy Software owned an
advertising company in the 1980s Long before
getting involved in print estimating software.
Using desktop publishing before it was an accepted
term, the company designed ads for small, and
medium businesses, and at least one fortune 500
company. Some of the businesses were impressed with
the ads and asked that other media be designed for
them. Reluctantly, at first, this was done. Volume
increased to the point where it was feasible to add
a printing press to the operation.
By the mid to late 80s, other print shops were
starting to add desktop capabilities to their own
operations. Legacy personnel were in a position to
lend training assistance to those companies. Later,
Legacy, would become authorized by a computer
company to be a dealer for desktop publishing
computers to the printing industry.
In 1993, the computer dealership was sold so
that full time could be devoted to printing
software.
Legacy has been involved with the printing
industry print management software for over 13
years.
About SmartQuotes®
Print Estimating Software
SmartQuotes® was
first planned in 1987 to fulfill a need in the
printing industry. It is designed for quick print
management and commercial print management. The
developer wanted to provide an estimating /
management software package that was totally
flexible to any print shop. SmartQuotes®
is equally at home in small quick print to medium
size commercial printers.
Unique features allow for calculating true
operating expenses. Actual costs for print
estimating are then automatically calculated if the
user elects to enter start and stop times.
If past pricing is determined to have been
successful for the user, simply enter those prices
for various quantities and SmartQuotes®
will do the math that follows that criteria in all
cases of similar press runs.
Each area has a 2 Gigabytes limit for stock,
presses, customers, etc. That means that there is
no practical limit.
Pricing can be by unit, cost/markup, sliding
scale, or an hourly price. Hourly charges can slide
up, down, or a combination of the two. SmartQuotes®
is totally universal and automatic. Any item can be
overridden.
Stocks, presses, customers, or prepress and
bindery services can be added on the fly in any
estimate. They can be recalled at anytime, or
deleted, edited, or enhanced.
Though many print shops owners tell the people
at Legacy that they do things differently, it would
be hard to imagine what SmartQuotes®
could not handle with ease.
Almost all operations are point and click.
We invite you to tour the pages presented in our
home page, and then download a demo for either Mac
or Windows. Both programs are identical in features
and appearance.
