Multiple Users: The Presstimator can accommodate multiple users connected to the same SQL Server database. Users can share costs, standards, customers and quotes from a single database.
Web Form: Customizable Web Forms allow your customers to request a printing quote through your company's website. The contents of the request are e-mailed to you, and they can be imported directly into the Presstimator as a New Quote. Once this data has been imported, click on the 'Load All Defaults' button to have a Quote calculated in seconds. Custom web forms can also be used internally as a convenient way for salespeople to enter the initial job specs. View a Sample here.
Pressroom Production Actuals Application: A standalone mini-application installed on a computer on the pressroom floor allows the press operator to directly enter the production information into the Presstimator database to making it immediately available to the estimator to generate the Profit Analysis and Estimate vs. Analysis reports. Click for more information.
Analysis: Presstimator's Analysis reporting analyzes profits and compares estimates vs. actual production data. Once a job is completed, you can input the actual production counters and time information from the production department (this process can be streamlined using the Presstimator Production Actuals Application). The Presstimator will then analyze the data within a customizable Excel spreadsheet so you can see how accurate your estimates are. You can also analyze total profits based on filtered estimates from the Quote History screens. Click for more information.
Multiple Page Counts and Multiple Quantities: Within a single quote, you can enter different scenarios for the number of copies and the number of pages the customer requests. So, if a customer asks for pricing for a 4, 8 or 12-page Tab with 10,000, 15,000 or 20,000 copies with different color options, this can all be entered within a single quote and a price matrix can be printed and sent to the customer so they can select the quantity and pages based on the calculated prices. First 1,000 Copies: The price for the first 1,000 copies includes startup and make-ready costs. The First 1,000 feature ensures that you will cover your costs, and it prevents customers from expecting inaccurate selling prices based solely on the Add'l M's price.
Total Usage Reports: The Presstimator includes different versions of total usage reports to detail all of the materials and time required to produce the selected jobs. From the Quote/Job History screens, you can filter and report on the jobs you would like to total usage information on. Charts are created for the Total Usage information to display a graphical view of paper, paper waste, ink and press usage.
