We are a medium sized sheet metal company working in a range of industries from heavy duty industrial ventilation to high pressure commercial ventilation.

With the ease of setup, the short learning curve, outstanding tech support and constant future vision, the decision to switch has been an extremely rewarding one.

Quote Soft is a very user friendly system and the tech support is great, truly believe it is one of the best on the market.

This Software is fairly easy to use. The labor pricing that they have come up with seems to be competitive.

My only problem is the time difference. I am in Pennsylvania and there is a three hour window.

As for customer support and the rest of the staff, they are by far the best in the industry. They are always polite, helpful and knowledgeable.

With the amount of features this software boasts, it does have a tendency to crash.

Being a Canadian company we examined the ability to use our pricing service very carefully and were impressed at how easily this could be implemented.

The only downside is that it can be a little slow and has a few glitches, which could be my computer not exceeding the software requirements.

I requested help yesterday morning. Sent emails to all trainers I know.

Try other software like I did and you will quickly realize that this software is a great product that you will enjoy using.

The tech support and the office support have been excellent since we bought the software. I always get a call back quickly, even if it is Kerry himself to help me with any issue I might have.

We knew we were making the right choice with QuoteExpress after the demo, which was clear. Something we were not counting on was the ease of implementing the system.

QuoteExpress's Advanced User Conference is a great place to learn from other users and for users to communicate with QXP on wish list features that would make the program better and more productive.

The reports have been very useful when evaluating a tender.

Not everyone learns at the same rate and everyone hates change.

The applications are user friendly and the closing per month  is quick and efficient. If you encounter any difficulties the support is outstanding.

Looking forward to discovering more efficiencies we were unaware of previously.

We also use the software for AR, AP, inventory, and check reconciliation. Overall VMS is a good product, and has great customer service.

It is a fully integrated product from purchase orders to dispatch to all things financial. We don't have to go outside the VMS product for supporting software such as an accounting product.

It is great to visit with them every year and to know there is a friend on the other end of the support line when we need it.

Ability to transfer Estimate to Job Cost and Service. The ease of searching  is great.

All software has issues and the client portal allows us to log issues and check the progress. The staff is courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Top marks for customer support. Having an integrated solution for all our business is very efficient.

My biggest issue though is how difficult it can be to get some new set up by programming. Anything custom is expensive and takes forever.

Having such a great customer service team when dealing with software changes and updates, even when trying to navigate areas in the program your company has yet utilized they have never let us down.

No or very little training on the software. No idea how to use most of it.

We always come back from the conference with new information and ideas for improving our workflow. Above everything else, we value the Vertical Market Support staff.

The support was, and continues to be great, and I have the highest degree of confidence when I do have to call that issues are taken care of quickly. These guys really deserve an award.

Vast number of reports, very diverse in what you can pull. Ability to save to queue to have a history of all transactions.

The support from VMS is great, they are always very helpful and responsive. The product is easy to use and navigate, and we are very happy.

It has great functionality, and it's user friendly.

I know we will see better tracking between warehouses once everyone gets it under control.

It is a very powerful accounting software. If used properly it can do a lot of amazing things.

The ease of usability, easy to find what i am looking for and track my work flow. The ability to change the sites that we take care of.
