Topic: Random / How do you use estimates?

Hi Seth,

As a very new user of your app I must say I am extremely impressed. We have been looking for an online application to handle our quoting/estimating as well as invoicing and basic project management for our web & graphic design business. Having evaluated many different products out there like FreshBooks, ActiveColab, Pro WorkFlow etc. we have seen many different little bits that would be great to have all rolled into one.

Everything we quote on is based on flat fee charges, even though we work all the fees out on hourly rates and like to work towards these goals. One of the main points is the ability to customise (which your product does very well). We do however like to be able to give our estimates their own generic number so we can refer to this in any correspondence like invoicing etc. to the clients as some of our clients we do many jobs for and all have to be distinguishable from each other.

The other point we have seen in FreshBooks that we found very helpful was the ability to re-use items in your estimating to save you having to re-enter for e.g. 500 double-sided business cards.

Apologies upfront if any of the above is currently available and that I have not actually found it.

Regards

Paul
