This program was written to provide Sublimation / Heat Transfer Businesses with a tool that will allow them to price, quote and invoice jobs using one simple program. This is a spreadsheet based program that is simple to use and simple to edit. The program comes with prices based on national averages already entered. However, theses prices are easily increased or decreased based upon your market. The program takes the amount you enter and not only calculates the price but also applies a discount for volume automatically. (see picture below) To set the program up you simply put in your prices and enter the discount your would give for each volume level. After you do this you save the program to a directory on your hard drive and you are ready to start using it. Also, the spreadsheet has two line items called other that can be renamed to any other service you provide. Other categories can also be easily changed. An image of the program can be seen by clicking on the link above. The image displays all three pages of the spreadsheet at one time. In the program the three pages are accessed one at a time by clicking on a tab at the bottom of the page. As you can see it is a very easy program to use. The spreadsheet can be opened using the freeware spreadsheet reader provided with the package, Excel or Lotus 123. I recommend either the free reader or excel. It runs on any windows 95,98,ME & XP based computer. It also runs on MAC machines that have excel installed. To use the program you simply fill in the blanks on the data entry page with information pertaining to the customer and the job. The program applies your pricing to the data you put in and AUTOMATICALLY transfers it to the proposal page (page 2) and the invoice page (page 3). At the bottom of page one (data entry page) you will see that the program also gives you the opportunity while you are pricing to apply an additional discount. This is useful when the customer is not buying enough to get the volume discount but you feel like a discount is still applicable because of some other reason. Keep in mind that you can print only the page you want. If the customer does not need a proposal you would just click on the tab for page 3 and print the invoice only. This is what I normally do. The proposal page is great for when you need to bid a job. As I mentioned before the program has line items marked "other" that can be changed to anything you wish. Other categories can also be renamed very easily. As you enter customers, you can save each spreadsheet using that customers name as the file name. This gives you a permanent record of the job. This is very useful for marketing purposes. Also, if the customer needs your services again, (and they will) you will already have their information on your computer. I have tried to make it very flexible. I also include a separate spreadsheet file that contains BLANK proposal and invoice pages that you can print and keep with your for times when you do not have access to a computer. I have provided a good image so that you can see for yourself what the program looks like and what it offers. I am the creator of the spreadsheet and I support what I sell. If you have any suggestions for improvement to the program please let me know. THIS PROGRAM IS COPYRIGHTED TO STEVEN H. COLE, UNAUTHORIZED REDISTRIBUTION IS PROHIBITED.
