Managing Quotes
Introduction
IT service providers many times need to prepare organized and formatted pricing quotes & estimations to their customers, as a step in opportunity negotiations, or just formalizing a sale of a computer. Traditionally, pricing quotes include information about the customer you’re preparing the quote for, what work is going into the price, what the final price is (plus tax), sales agreement disclaimer, and customer signature.

Customers can view Quotes using the Commit Web Interface, and print out their own copy via the Web. You can also customize Quotes layout to make sure it provides exactly the information you want it to.
The Quotes are linked to CommitCRM Accounts, so each Quote is automatically attached to the correct customer, keeping the complete history in the Account’s view.
