Predictive Dynamic Quoting

Ask most printers what the 'Holy Grail' of their business process would be and some might very well answer 'instant estimating ’. Of course, instant quotes are not new these days - there are quite a few solutions out there. Our own solution, PDQ, is not just hosted on the web. It is a desktop application first, with a customisable (optional) web interface.

PDQ is a real printers tool. As such, it is one of only perhaps two expert solutions that can produce a job with a technical specification robust and detailed enough to be transferred directly into an MIS. We believe that our system is better because our software is the only one clever enough to quote for all methods of print production including web offset and POS.

Carbon footprint - in an instant

One thing users of PDQ can be certain of: it is the only system in the UK with a built-in carbon footprint analyser. Every production method and each component of these production methods, platemaking, printing, folding, etc, etc, are all individually analysed to show the user the carbon footprint of each component, resulting in a total CO2 emissions of each job - and every conceivable alternative. In today's tough economic climate this might just make the difference between winning and losing a job, even encouraging the buyer to pay more for an environmentally friendlier solution? With the eyes of the world eye scrutinising climate change ever-closer, our software may become another vital tool in the effort to combat global warming.

Main features of the software:

• Reduces the cost of estimating by as much as 80%.
• Allows sales staff and other non-estimators to produce 100% accurate quotations
• Allows an instant view of multiple production methods for best-fit manufacturing solution
• Compares prices over a range of equipment, both your own and (optional) generic industry standard equipment
• Builds a portfolio of favourite products and specifications
• Provides an instant environmental impact rating (CO2 footprint) for each quotation and production method used
• Returns instant prices to customers with auto-generated PDF email letter attachments – no rekeying required
• Hosts your estimating system online with optional web enabled full RFQ customer interface
• Fastest growing instant expert estimating tool in the UK – and the most advanced

How much does PDQ cost?

We charge an initial fixed set up and implementation fee and then PDQ is charged on a monthly user license fee basis. If there's just one user, it costs very little to run. If there's ten users, that's when a negotiation can begin. In other words, we can be flexible on price because we know you have to be with your own customers.
