What EstiMate offers that other software doesn't is Future-casting: with rock solid pricing technology and a forward facing view of your finances, EstiMate will guarantee that you achieve your goals in business and life every time you use it.
Sign companies have lowballed each other and operated at low profits for too long. EstiMate sign estimating software levels the playing field by giving you tools to determine what you need to make in order to cover your costs and achieve your profit goals, then making sure every single job is priced to meet your target – all the while giving you professional printed, faxed or emailed estimates that you can have in your customer's hand literally minutes after getting the job specs.
EstiMate also offers you customer and vendor relationship management, job tracking, production tools, work-in-progress reporting, job material lists, purchase orders, and much, much more.
When you are inputting the information about the sign that you are estimating, it tells you the maximum number of hours you can spend on that job without dropping below your hourly rate. That has been a big boost for me. When the estimate has been accepted by the client, with one click, I convert the estimate into a job. Once converted, I can printout a job manifest and projected number of hours allotted to do the job. My crew, on their own, now compete to beat the allotted time. It's become sort of a game for them and more profit for the company!
