Manufacturers benefit from new estimating features, including the ability to create price breaks directly within estimates. This streamlines the quoting process and eliminates the need for multiple revisions. Additionally, enhanced handling of outside processes simplifies the movement and purchasing of outsourced materials.
Construction businesses can now create pro forma invoices independent of established billing cycles. This provides greater flexibility for ad hoc expenses and allows for easier project billing adjustments.
