PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Elite Software Quick QUOTE program automates HVAC estimating and creates
professional sales proposals. QUOTE makes proposal generation fast and
easy by automatically looking up feature and pricing data for all types
of HVAC equipment and materials. With QUOTE, a contractor can quickly and
accurately determine the real cost of a job so that a competitive and profitable
selling price can be established. QUOTE comes with a database of models
containing air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces and boilers. Model data
can be supplied for many of the top manufacturers. Call for details as
new brands and models are added daily. QUOTE is also supplied with a database
containing miscellaneous material and accessory items such as ductwork,
tubing, programmable thermostats, electronic air cleaners, power attic
vent fans, and more. Both the model and material databases can be added
to and revised by the contractor as desired. Labor costs area accounted
for as well. Sales proposals can include from one to three systems per
quote. Each system can have both heating and cooling equipment. Any desired
features such as efficiencies, capacities, warranty periods, etc., can
be selectively printed for the proposed equipment. Energysavings of the
proposed equipment can be shown as well. QUOTE can also print standard
terms, conditions, exclusions, and special notes. Proposed formats are
easily customized by the contractor and multiple formats can be maintained.
QUOTE can print proposals on standard computerto print your company logo
at the top of the sales proposal.

PROGRAM OUTPUT
The Quick QUOTE Program provides five basic reports. One report is a single
page proposals that can list one heating and one cooling system. A second
report can list from one to three cooling and heating units. Multiple units
can be shown as alternatives or they can be quoted as an overall system
such as for a two story house. A third report shows available options and
accessories the home owner could consider purchasing for the proposed system.
The fourth report is an installer's report that lists a bill of materials
needed for a specific job. The fifth report is a detailed cost report that
lists the actual cost of every item included in the quote. |

PROGRAM INPUT
The Quick QUOTE program uses full screen editing features that provide
a simple "fill in the blank" input procedure. All input data is checked
at the time of entry so that no improper data can be entered. If you have
a question about what the program is requesting, you can press the "?"
key which allows the program to offer additional explanations about the
input data being requested. Upon completion of the input process, all data
is saved to disk and can be reviewed and edited whenever desired. Four
types of data are requested: general customer data, proposed equipment
models, material, and labor items. The general customer data includes the
customer name, address, phone number, and other such data. The desired
equipment models are selected and all the best selling features and costs
of the proposed equipment are automatically looked up. If a particular
model is not in the model library then the model can be entered manually.
Models do not have to be selected if the job is just service or plumbing
related. Materials are then specified and labor tasks are entered. Both
materials and labor can be included as taxable or non-taxable items. After
the model, material, and labor data have been specified, the contractorknows
his actual costs and suggested retail prices of all items. QUOTE then calculates
and displays the resulting profit margin, cost markup, and list discount
of the total installed price.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
QUOTE requires an IBM compatible computer with at least 512K of memory
