Many web offset printers have developed complicated spreadsheets to estimate their printing. While such a solution has clear advantages over calculating quotes by hand, it falls short of what a database application such as the Presstimator has to offer.

Because the Presstimator is a database application, there is a single location for all of your costs and standards in Shop Settings. Modify and maintain this single set of Shop Settings for everyone to share across one company or multiple plants.
Example: All you have to do is enter the new price for newsprint in Shop Settings and that cost is automatically applied to ALL new Quotes, so you know you're always creating estimates based on your current costs. You would no longer need to make the price update across multiple spreadsheets.

Filter, Sort and Search for Quotes on a Quote History screen instead of searching through folders for old estimate spreadsheets. Open an existing Quote directly on the Quote History screen and update it with current Shop Settings in a single button click instead of updating multiple fields throughout a spreadsheet. Share data with multiple users and generate customizable reports instantly from within a Quote. Generate analysis reports from a filtered range of multiple Quotes to accurately see profit information instantly. Update prices from your vendors and maintain paper inventory using the Standalone Shop Settings Application. These values can be adjusted by employees without Presstimator training. Send job information from a Presstimator Quote directly to the Scheduler.
