* A Hosted Application Industry First: User-to-Customer Collaboration
Defining the next generation of hosted applications, QuoteASP seamlessly integrates with corporate web sites to facilitate a gateway between sales professionals and their customers. Users can invite their customers to login and view their proposal and quotation online. Customers receive the benefit of being able to tailor component substitutes and optional items in real-time, while sales professionals receive behavioral information that they can use to tailor follow up activities. Once a customer is happy with their final configuration they can then download it in various document formats.

* Improve Operations, Manage by Metrics and Optimize Profits
QuoteASP provides the tools that improve the way sales organisations perform their most critical functions, including consistent, efficient generation of traditionally complex multi-level quotations; centralizing and coordinating pricing input from intra-organizational departments; leveraging the marketing department's creative activities in proposal generation; simplifying the approval and sign-off processes for accurate, fully costed quotations; and managing client interactions during the crucial financial stage of the sales process.

* Globalization, Taxation and Localization Support
QuoteASP provides full multi-currency and regional settings, as well as support for the taxation systems of Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Sales professionals can develop quotations in their home currency and, prior to sending to their customer, then dynamically convert to another currency. Price hedging and foreign exchange gain/loss reporting ensure quotations are accurate, optimized and competitive.
