Create More Accurate Estimates

The Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Estimating application allows you to create and maintain accurate, up-to-date estimates, giving you a better understanding of the relationships between the manufacturing process, costs and pricing.

Using the Estimating application, you can analyze critical information before bidding or producing a job, significantly reducing material and labor costs while improving your gross margin. You can tie an estimate to a quotation, create new estimates by copying from another, perform markup calculations based on user-defined formulas, utilize powerful search capabilities, perform cost analysis for various quantities, freeze an estimate to prevent inadvertent changes and more.

Attach notes to each estimate header, operation, material, quote header or revision.
Price an unlimited number of quantity breaks.
