Enterprise RFQ

The EPMS (Booth 257) RFQ module has been newly enhanced by the addition of a browser based, wizard driven RFQ (Request for Quote) with built-in business intelligence, that provides both a customer facing and employee facing web portal and that is supportive of multiple business types via a graphical and intuitive user interface. Utilization of the wizard technology for the RFQ function is a significant step in not only facilitating ease of use but also in reducing the margin for error on quote submissions. User configurable Wizards, which are fully integrated with the core system, provide users with the ability to pre-define product types that will launch a web page with product type - specific questionnaires. Completion of the questionnaire will allow them to define a quote, upload files and obtain instant pricing, based on answers to the questions. Enhanced data throughput is accomplished by the direct and completed integration of the Wizards into the CRM module and the Estimating /Order Entry module by utilizing the full blown estimating engine in the core management system, ultimately leading to the job ticketing and scheduling functionalities. Press selection/comparison functionality, inherent in the core system, has also been built-in to the RFQ function.
