Auto Parts and Associated Parts are two ways to automate estimating especially with labor and services that need to be added. 

Auto Parts

Auto Parts automatically add to the BOM every time they are selected from the Auto parts

Template and a new Option or Phases is added or with an import from a specifying software or excel spreadsheet. 

Auto Parts can be set to automatically add to every Phase or Create a New Phase of its own. 

Auto Parts can also be set to automatically calculate on other parts based on product type. 

Service Charges

Service charges are perfect candidates for Auto Parts 

Do you have a list of service charges you add to your quotes and how you determine what to charge. We may be able to streamline and automate your estimating process and improve accuracy. 

Examples of some Service Charges

  • Labor

  • Freight

  • Project Management

  • Design

  • Overhead

  • Overtime

Labor

  • Is labor made up of multiple charges. If yes, list the charges that make up labor and how you come up with the charge
