Authorised Rent-IT Partner; Solweb Limited has delivered a bespoke quotation system to Weymouth based precision metal part and tool manufacturer Tecan that works seamlessly with their 63-user 123MRP system. ‘Quote Desk' brings improved levels of performance reduced costs and flexibility to the company's sales team that demanded full tracking of all live quotes at a touch of a button.
The quotation system was developed using Microsoft's Visual Basic software an industry standard development tool and delivered within a total time of just seven weeks from original specification to go-live.
The benefits of ‘Quote Desk' were realised almost immediately. Not only was it simple to track enquiries that had been made by customers and potential customers but it also enabled the sales team to identify previously quoted parts saving time on re-quotes by up to 50%. The whole process of logging an enquiry raising a quote and tracking it was almost twice as fast than performing the same process in their previous system. It has also reduced the number of errors by 80% due to the fact the most fields are automatically retrieved instead of the data having to be entered manually by the user.
"The benefits of having a bespoke quotation system written for us from scratch not only allowed to have the system to match our exact needs but also gave us a massive financial saving said Peter Jeffries Operations Director of Tecan. "We struggled for several years with our previous system which never really fitted with the way we worked it was a shame we never had the option before to go for a bespoke system that gave us exactly what we wanted at an affordable price."
