Description

The Franklin Estimator is specifically designed for conventional full-service print shops, offering near-instant usability and serving as an industry benchmark for many years. Its robust features combine power and precision while remaining user-friendly. In contrast, the EstimatorQP caters to primarily digital printing environments and In-Plant facilities, proficiently managing various formats such as Offset, Wide Format, Mailing, Embroidery, and Screen Printing. With an intuitive interface, users can swiftly generate estimates and adjust their shop's equipment settings. Once a customer's approval is secured for an estimate, a detailed job ticket can be generated, facilitating continuous monitoring and management of the job throughout the production process. This capability empowers production staff to operate autonomously from the sales team. Additionally, it offers features such as Estimates categorized by Estimate Number, Job Tickets that can be customized by the user, Job Tickets organized by Salesperson, Active Jobs tracked by Sales Representative, Customer information associated with Sales Representatives, and comprehensive Stock Order Reports. This streamlined approach not only enhances efficiency but also improves communication within the team.
