Design & engineering made easy
Quotes, payment, order, completion. All at the click of a button.
After creating the design, the software will give your prospect an instant quote for all the elements required, at the press of a button. If you like that quote, you can purchase the Bill Of Materials to order the shed, either through your suppliers or ours. If you are a Quotec LIVE Kit reseller, the ordering process is sorted for you.
With our Kit and BOM options, you can choose how you would like to use Quotec LIVE software. Our Quotec LIVE Kit resellers do not have to worry about the order – you can have the whole shed order taken care of for you – meaning we can have all of the raw materials consolidated and delivered to your customer’s door.
For BOM subscribers, you purchase the shed Bill of Materials and can complete the ordering using your own suppliers, our suppliers, or a mixture of yours plus ours.
Stay highly competitive in a price-driven market
As a retailer, price is usually the number one priority. Our live quoting software allows you to price, modify and re-price, all at the click of a button. If an initial quote is too high for your customer, you can modify your design on the spot and present alternative options to get them over the line.
The connections to secure competitive pricing for you
You can use your own suppliers, with their pricing easily uploaded into your Quotec LIVE system, or you can use ours. If you choose to use our providers, you benefit from relationships strengthened over decades and pre-negotiated, competitive pricing. But you always maintain the freedom to choose your suppliers. So you can take advantage of cost savings and greater transparency in your dealings.
