on your PC, make the changes and print it out again; it’s quick and simple. And, with WorkSmart, the pricing information is updated
automatically, so you don’t have to go off and check for new prices. Once your quote has been accepted, WorkSmart enables
you to print a ‘buying list’ to take to your wholesaler or merchant. As well as saving even more time, this ensures nothing is missed because it automatically uses the information you put in the quote (though, of course, you can edit it if you wish). When the job is complete, you simply open the software
and print an invoice at the click of a mouse, again using the original information from the quote. The result is that information you entered when producing the quote now flows through all of these tasks with the minimum of input from you.
