Idronic showcases job shop software for<br />
production control operations<br />
Australian specialist metal fabrication software company Idronic will<br />
demonstrate its innovative management system software LaserQuote<br />
at Austech.<br />
“Accurate information about how your business is performing is important<br />
at any time, but in difficult times, it is absolutely essential,” says<br />
Managing Director Codrin Mitin. “Getting the right information to the<br />
right person at the right time has never been more critical to your business.<br />
Finding the right solution that can bring insight into your business<br />
and continuously improves your profits is a must.”<br />
LaserQuote is a business management system software designed to<br />
manage and streamline all daily business activities for fabricators, profile<br />
cutters, engineering and sheet metal shops. LaserQuote enables parts<br />
programming, customer relations, quote generation, as well as production<br />
control of various features in metal cutting and fabrication operations.<br />
“LaserQuote is the culmination of countless testing and adjustments<br />
to business procedures and methods specific to the contract cutting and<br />
sheet metal industries,” Codrin explains. “Our team has a wealth of experience<br />
and comprises of former metal business owners, Java and Mysql<br />
programmers and web developers. For more than 15 years we have constantly<br />
been tapping into the experience of many metal fabrication shops<br />
and with their assistance and advice we developed LaserQuote.”<br />
Because LaserQuote has been built from the ground up to be used as<br />
a metal fabrication software, the built-in laser cutting wizard can generate<br />
an accurate and consistent quote in seconds, not minutes. The wizard<br />
reduces the process of determining the cost of a given part. In addition,<br />
it provides screens required as per the user input. The software<br />
facilitates the automation and creation of programming where multiple<br />
parts obtained from clients are nested together using your CAD nesting<br />
software. This results in achieving high efficiencies of material usage.<br />
Moreover, the profile cutting software determines the availability of<br />
the subsequent machine relating to the job. By utilising an online customer<br />
interface, clients can access the production stage of the jobs.<br />
Customers can view the full time-stamped status along with a digitally<br />
recorded signature. In addition, by using the wizard consumers can<br />
request online quotes for parts.<br />
Why LaserQuote<br />
Do you know which jobs are making you money and if yes how much<br />
Do you really appreciate the cost factor involved in the quotation process<br />
Are you making the most of your synergy when it comes to maximising<br />
material allocations Is your inventory linked and audited to<br />
your jobs Is scheduling resources still done in Excel Is your data<br />
access secure<br />
If you cannot answer all of these questions with a definite “Yes”,<br />
then you should consider the Idronic business management software,<br />
which is all about speed and efficiency to maximise your business’<br />
profits. More quotes, faster quotes, accurate quotes mean more orders<br />
and more profit. Customers using LaserQuote report up to 80% win<br />
rate on quotes and can average 60-70 quotes per day. A typical laser<br />
cutting job shop running 24/7 with three lasers can cope with only one<br />
estimator.<br />

• CRM – Full customer communication via email, letters, faxes, alerts<br />
and a system-wide history of all activities<br />
