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.
