Quote$ generates sales quotes for prices.
One of the key features of "Quote$" is its simple and compact interface, which effectively handles the complexities of good price quotes. It stores data in a fast SQL database for high performance. Moreover, it enables the import of text file price lists or building of your own price list, and uses the system-wide Address Book to store your contact information. The software also allows you to track your vendor and shipper accounts.
For fast quote generation, "Quote$" provides a single window for adding products to the quote, with fast searching of even very large price lists. It uses Macintosh's™ SpotLight™ technology for finding the products you want quickly. Additionally, it enables you to apply consistent pricing with a click of the mouse, check the prior pricing history of any item you quote, and update quote pricing quickly if your costs change.
With "Quote$", you can print your quote to paper using any word processor that can read Rich Text Files (RTF) or use Microsoft Word. Pages support is coming soon. You can also email your quote as a PDF, fax your quote using the Macintosh's built-in fax modem, or publish your quote to XML for processing by a wide variety of other applications and workflow processes. You can store your quote for later referencing and reporting, and write your own personalized greetings and closings.
The software and its features can be evaluated for seven days. After that, the product will have some limitations, including a maximum of 2 price lists with 50 items each and 5 quotes, each with a maximum of 5 items. In the latest release, the software added defensive code to further protect from invalid and empty Address Book "Me" cards and made database schema changes to prepare for features to be added in version 1.1. Overall, "Quote$" is a comprehensive and user-friendly software for generating sales quotes efficiently.
