What to Look for in
Estimating Software for Modern Print Shop
Manager
SmartQuotes is one
of many software packages for print shops. If you
are a print shop manager shopping for a print
etimating program, the task may seem daunting. All
claim to be the fastest and easiest to
operate.Prices vary, but some are low enough in
price that even the smallest print shop can afford
some of them. The important thing is to get into
the habit of saving time and money. Preparing
estimates does not produce revenue, make sales
calls, put ink on paper, perform bindery or
prepress functions or anything else of value. It is
a necessary chore that has to be done and the
client expects the print quote to arrive in a
timely and professional manner.
Here are some items to
contemplate in selecting print shop
software.
- Flexibility - Will it
do what you want to do?
- Price Book - Will it
produce a catalog of your standard items?
- Customer History -
Look for detailed client history at a single
click.
- Booklets - Will it
detail each signature and allow time for
signatue changes?
- Pricing - Will it do
fixed hourly price, varible sliding scale, set
markup?
- Override - Will it
override any item, press run, prepress and
bindery?
- Competitor Tracker -
Will it track lost bids and determine
markup?
- Taxes - Multiple tax raes for
State/Province, county, local. PSY, GST
VAT.
- Inventory - Automatic stock reductins
- Purchase - Automatic ties to inventory
