Caldera adds PriceView quotation feature to CostView 2.0
Thursday 24. July 2008 - After having fully redesigned and upgraded Calderas cost management tool CostView, a new quoting feature has been added.
PriceView allows you to estimate a selling price thanks to an intelligent comparison of the data with the already existing jobs.
To simulate a selling price simply fill in the Print and Media dimensions, this information will be used to calculate the ink costs and will take into account the waste of paper that may occur when the job is printed. The user can set minimum margins, client discounts and other incremental costs.
PriceView then estimates a total selling price, per copy and per m”/ft”, and lets you know about the amount of similar jobs it has used to proceed to this very estimation.
CostView 2.0 is positioned to be the ultimate dashboard for a manager sensitive to production costs. With this module you can calculate all costs pertaining to a job: printing costs, finishing, shipping, machine amortization or other overhead costs. At the end of the day you can export your job listing with all relevant costs as a spreadsheet ready for further analysis.
Its webdriven interface can be accessed by any user in your company network using a simple web browser. The added value of CostView 2.0 is being able to fully monitor production costs in order to improve your business profitability
