In the landscaping industry, it’s common to receive a quote from a supplier. What isn’t as common is the ability to create your own quotes online and even modify and share them.
At Ewing, we’ve had this advanced online quoting platform for years—and it’s getting an update with several improvements! The new and improved Quotes application will be available for Ewing account holders.
Ewing Quotes can be used to lock in pricing for up to 30 days, help you submit bids on new projects, manage purchasing products for a long term job and share quotes with your other account users or Ewing employees.
You can create different levels of users for your accounts, making it easy to manage teams and multiple projects. If you have quote-only users on your account, you can implement an approval process, enabling you to approve and purchase only quotes you have reviewed. You can also download quotes to a spreadsheet and import product pricing into your own estimating system.
The new Quotes application now works seamlessly with the updated Ewingirrigation.com website, allowing you to browse items or use your My Lists and Assemblies to quickly add items to a quote. You can also create new quotes while adding items, making the process faster and easier.
We’ve even added a few features to make the quoting process more user-friendly and helpful. You can now import a quote from a spreadsheet using our quote template and inputing valid Ewing SKUs and quantity. The new system will create the quote and add pricing in seconds! You now have the ability to add your comments to a quote, notify Ewing employees and include additional comments should you need assistance with the quote.
If you have ever requested a quote from a Ewing employee, ask them to send it to your account online and take advantage of all the features and benefits Ewing online quoting has to offer. Setting up a new account is easy! Log in when it goes live to try it out for yourself and give us some feedback!
As always, online quotes can be printed, downloaded, updated, deleted and copied. Copying to a new quote is an especially easy way to create a new quote from a previous order, effectively giving you a template for future orders.
