Elequote - expressive quotes with individual quote catalogs
Elequote generates formal quotes as well as individual "quote
catalogs" explaining in detail the quoted products and
replacing the previously used printed product catalogs and data
sheets.
Currently, formal quotes on technical products are frequently
accompanied by printed product catalogs or data sheets defining
in detail the quoted products. This is all replaced by Elequote,
which uses the content of product catalogs stored in Elebase
to individually generate a "quotes catalog" to complement
the formal part of the quote.
Autonomous processing of quotes and orders without ERP
Elequote can be used autonomously to enter and process quotes
similar to entering orders, because Elequote comprises of a
full order database and order processing system.
Elequote is fully independent of any ERP system and well suitable
for use by your sales people, distribution partners or dealers
who can all use the content of Elebase in their Elequote software.
Quotes are technically treated as a special form of orders
and they are stored in the order database of Elequote. They
can even be converted into orders and then handed over to your
ERP or order processing system. Quote objects as well as order
can also be transferred regularly and automatically to your
main office and collected there in a central database or transferred
to your ERP.
Integrated Elecalc calculation module
When using Elequote autonomously the integrated Elecalc calculation
system becomes most valuable. Elecalc performs even complex,
sophisticated and conditional calculations based on your settings,
on product data and customer related data if needed. More about
Elecalc here.
Elequote closely co-operates with your ERP system
if you prefer a to continue using your ERP system for quotes
even then Elequote can still do the job of creating nicely formatted
individual quotes catalogs.
The data from your ERP system is imported via one of the many
data formats supported by Elequote or we create an individual
interface for you. There are several possibilities to import
the data from your ERP system into Elequote and one of them
will certainly be suitable for you.
Elequote in distributed organizations or for your distributors/dealers
Elequote is ideally suitable to be distributed to your sales
partners whoever and wherever they are. You can give them limited
access to your content in your central Elebase product master
database or you export part of this Elebase master database
for distribution to your sales partners ond for offline use
in their local databases.
In any case, they re-use your content for creating sophisticated,
detailed and extremely attractive quotes with nicely formatted
individual quotes catalogs.
Quotes catalogs is individual database publishing for quotes
Actually, Elequote performs a special form of dedicated database
publishing for individual and customer specific quotes locally
wherever these quotes are created. This is the great advantage
for your sales people: They can use the content of your central
product master database locally in their own software and database,
because "all business is local" - at least in most
cases.
