Business Challenges
The Custom Quote Management Portal was created to streamline Jessup’s quote creation process. Before the development of this web application, Jessup’s sales staff had to go through multiple steps and various file locations in order to create a single quote. This often took multiple days to compile and send out to their customers. Plego’s application made this entire quote creation process more efficient throughout Jessup’s organization.
Solution
With The Quote Management System, Jessup can:
Respond to customer quote requests within minutes, not days
Spend less personnel hours on manual data gathering tasks
Get real time data from their company ERP (Visual ERP in this case)
Customized pricing by customer
Customize the output and design of any quote

Quote Detail
On the product detail page is where you can customize your quote to your customer’s needs.
The main output of the custom quote application is going to be a spreadsheet with all the data attributes listed and a folder with all the associated assets including spec sheets, safety sheets, different image types.
