For use with: QuoteWerks v4.0 build 17 to v23.0 build 5.13 Corporate edition

About the User: This project has been implemented with a number of different companies that sell products and services as diverse as IT hardware, promotional gifts and domestic / commercial flooring.

Project Brief: the various clients wanted a variety of enhancements to QuoteWerks out-of-the-box email features which would give them an easy way to manually send an HTML email which contains Line Item details to Customers and Suppliers, plus automated emails internally to report on business KPIs from QuoteWerks data and to Customers and Suppliers to chase orders or report on the Staus of Orders.

The screenshots below illustrate two simple examples of the Email Templates they use:
