County installs MIS upgrade

County Print has reduced its quoting timescale by one-third after installing the free Estimating Wizard upgrade to its Shuttleworth MIS.

The Cheshire-based prin­ter said the estimating module had cut the time taken to produce a quote and enabled its sales and estimating teams to produce more accurate prices.

Commercial director Richard Porter said: "Its simple entry screen enables a broader spectrum of our team to produce basic quotes allowing our specialist estimators to concentrate on more complicated quotes."

Porter added that the software could automatically choose the best production route for jobs that have borderline digital or litho run lengths and suggest the appro­priate size press, there­by boosting efficiencies.
