eQuote (Customer Quotation Entry & Mangement) is the newest member of the eProducts family and is designed for flexible and efficient “business to business” (B2B) quotation entry and management, quotation conversion and and sales order management. eQuote supports both stock and configured products. Your dealers can create and manage their own customers and customer quoting preferences within eQuote. Quotes can be created using standard Frontier pricing or with standard Frontier pricing with a dealer “markup” for 2nd tier customers. eQuote can also be used for direct manufacturer to dealer or distributor quoting.
