Because of the requirement to provide accurate bids and proposals to prospective customers, one of the most critical requirements of any Engineer To Order (ETO), Make to Order (MTO), Government Contractor, Job Shop or Maintenance Repair and Overhaul manufacturing company is the accurate estimating of all costs associated with an item or a contract. JOBSCOPE® manufacturing software Project Estimating system provides functions that allow you to enter, update, and delete estimate information.

Project Estimating

Your business requires a business information system that is not only comprehensive, but also inherently capable of providing detailed information about each customer order. JOBSCOPE’s Project Estimating system is designed to help you calculate costs and selling prices for the jobs you are bidding.

In the engineer to order environment, each job or contract usually involves the manufacture, assembly, or service of an item with unique characteristics that make it slightly different from items provided on other jobs or contracts. Many times, the award of a contract is based upon the customer’s acceptance of a proposal received through a competitive bid process.

Speed and Accuracy

Estimating provides the capability to generate current quotations for existing bill-of-material structures, as well as items that have never before been created. Copy Estimates is a time-saving feature that allows a new estimate to be quickly created from an existing one, providing the ability to perform “same-as-except” estimating.
