…a full iQuote service over the Holiday Season. We wish all of our iQuote users and sponsors a Merry Christmas and a profitable 2011. When we look back on 2010 it was a year of huge change as iQuote came out of “startup” mode. We’ve made countless improvements to iQuote already and there is more to come. We also have more users generating more quotes with more options included in them. We are also active in several countries in Europe plus North America. Here’s to 2011…
Great for consolidated buyers! iQuote Swift version 1 allowed iQuote users to enter a system unit part number and generate a price/stock list along with PL Code, categorisation and description for all supported options. iQuote Swift v2 builds on that and addresses a different requirement. If you have a list of unrelated parts and you want to turn that into a Price List with availability, PL Code, categorisation and description then you’ll love iQuote Swift v2. That’s what it does.
A picture says a thousand words so here’s what it looks like when these parts are pasted in (it can handle many, many parts):

Some small changes in iQuote that add up. Our iQuote users provide feedback and we’re always looking for ways to improve the user experience. So you may notice subtle changes in iQuote that we’ve made recently. If you didn’t notice them here are a few:

A first for iQuote as the HP Personal Systems Group products feature Microsoft Office 2010 with Microsoft part numbers. Yes it is the first time that we’ve ever introduced non-HP part numbers (we already show Distributor service parts). It won’t be the last time either as iQuote moves ahead HP will authorise complementary products into iQuote. The benefits for iQuote users is clear: rather than complete a quote for HP products in one tool then manually add software products it can all be through a single, simple interface: iQuote.
If you want to increase sales and margin add more products to your quotation with iQuote. Drive the pitch rate and the attach rate will follow.
