The image above displays the application that enables a user
to manage the data and transmit price quotes to current and
prospective clients via Email, Fax, or an Internet Fax
service like eFax.
The version pictured here enables the user to manage the
data necessary for a price quote including customers,
vendors, product source location, customer destination
location, product costs, additional charges, freight,
markup, and profit. It also enables the user to
transmit the price quotes interactively or to arrange their
transmission periodically using a date and time schedule that
the user specifies. If the user specifies the use
of scheduled transmissions, they can be performed by the
system automatically without any required interaction by the
user. The Rate Quote Transmission Manager also
stores a historical record of all price quotes transmitted
to a customer. This historical record can be used
to track sales and create invoices from within an accounting
system like
Intuit's
QuickBooks. We have
developed a
custom user interface extension
to the QuickBooks environment for just this very purpose.
