Job management system includes quoting

To help custom manufacturers become more competitive a job management system has an attractive user interface that hosts four modules for creating quotations to time and resource management.
A new job management system, MyWorkPLAN, was officially launched in the French market at the Paris 'Industrie' Show. With the rise of global competition there is a growing need for good quality job management solutions, specifically designed to help small to medium sized custom manufacturers reduce their manufacturing costs and become more competitive. Most solutions currently on the market require a lengthy installation and implementation process, are often difficult to use and can be expensive.

Most of them simply do not meet the very exact requirements of the industry or activities they target.

In order to fill this gap in the market, SESCOI, in collaboration with its industry customers, set about analysing working processes and best practices in custom manufacturing, then built MyWorkPLAN around these.

An attractive user interface hosts four modules for efficient job management, from creating quotations through to time and resource management.

Designed with an innovative concept for working data, MyWorkPLAN displays all data related to each project such as e-mails, Excel spreadsheet and even CAD data in a clear tree structure, inspired by Windows Explorer.

Data can be retrieved or filtered at the click of a mouse.

MyWorkPLAN also comes with the 'MyWorkPLAN Analyser', which can be used to analyse CAD data in most formats, ensuring accurate quotations are generated quickly.

Based on many years' experience implementing job management solutions, Sescoi has also developed its 'FastStart' implementation methodology which aims to get companies fully up and running within as little as seven working days.

MyWorkPLAN is designed to integrate easily into the user's working environment and quickly beds in with existing software, such as MS Office and CAD systems.

This allows the user to get the best out of all their software, for example, the powerful data processing capability of MyWorkPLAN and the familiar printing options of MS Office, from directly within MyWorkPLAN.
