Quick Estimator 5.0      New screen shots added below!

We are busy working on version 5.0 so we thought we would add a section where we will share what's new and some screen shots as it progresses. We will start adding some information soon, so check back often.

Here are some of the changes and additions.

• More detailed scheduling which lets you schedule tasks for each project and not just the project.
• New database engine that is smaller and faster.
• New reporting engine that generates PDF file without requiring a third party tool.
• You will be able to customize the reports with the included report designer.
• Fully integrated emailing for sending estimates and invoices straight from the program. The current version requires a third party tool.
• Better network performance using a built-in, dedicated database server. Scale from a single user to hundreds of users without and special software and without any changes to the program.
• With the new built-in database server, you will be able to access your data remotely via the internet. (requires a fixed IP address on the computer that hosts the database.)
• New synchronization system that is easier to setup and use. You can even synchronize remotely via the internet.
• You will be able to control profit and overhead at the item level.
• It will be fully compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. (Sorry, we can no longer support any version of Windows before 2000)
• The interface can be displayed in different languages using language files. The initial release will have English and Spanish language files, but we will be adding French shortly after release.
• Personal rebranding and reseller rebranding will be available. Prices for rebranding have not been set yet.
• You can have unlimited custom fields for things like customers, projects etc.

 

If you purchase the current version now, you will get version 5.0 for free when it is released.

...and of course it will have a fresh new look.
