Your quote history

What your quote history could reveal

Explore how your prices vary, which quotes deserve attention, and the patterns in business won and lost.

  • Differences you can explain. Compare prices for the same item across customers, branches and time, then review the reasons with your team.
  • Quotes worth a second look. Find repeat quotes at different prices, quotes below recorded cost, and differences from recorded customer prices.
  • Patterns in wins and losses. See how quoted prices and estimated margins differ between the business you win and the quotes you lose.
