Tools for the Dealer, Distributor, and Subcontractor

Friedman has developed software for the subcontractors and suppliers that works the way you do. With the advent of Friedman's Quote Management Information Systems (QMIS), formerly named PowerPak, suppliers have the power of an in-house quoting/point of sale tool that alleviates the disconnect between dealers and manufacturers.

QMIS provides dealers with the tools needed to address different aspects of the sales cycle, from the creation of the quote through the printing of the final invoice. For further information on QMIS and its dealer offerings, click here.
