2.15. What are the differences between EstiMate Pro and EstiMate Enterprise?

Q:  I want to purchase EstiMate 2, but I'm wondering if I need EstiMate Pro or Enterprise.  What are the key differences between the two?

 

A: EstiMate Pro is great for the smaller shops as well as new shops, or shops that may already have scheduling/job management software, and accounting/invoicing software such as QuickBooks.

 

With EstiMate Pro you have the ability to:

• Create quotes (Estimates), as well as save, print, fax or e-mail them.

• Keep a list of all of your customers, vendors, and salespeople.

• Keep a list of all your materials and their prices.

• Print reports that allow you to see Customer History, Materials By Vendor, Open Estimates, and Transactions By Date. 

• With Pro you also have the option of adding the QuickBooks Link which will allow you to seamlessly transfer your estimates directly to QuickBooks, as Estimates, Invoices, or Sales Receipts. 
  

EstiMate Enterprise gives you the most flexibility for growth no matter what size shop you own.  EstiMate Enterprise is a great choice for larger shops, and especially for those that have used, or are using EstiMate 1, as they will certainly enjoy all of the new features.

With EstiMate Enterprise you have the ability to do everything above as well as:

• Create invoices (Jobs), from which you can print an Invoice, Work Order, Job Manifest, and Packing Slip.

• Print Estimate to Job Conversion, and Work In Progress Reports.

• Set up additional users with password protection, and user permissions.

• Network multiple copies of EstiMate 2 to the same database via the Multi-User Server add-on.

• Take a checked out copy of your shops database on your laptop into the field with you, and then merge your work back into the shops database when you return.
