Who wants to see a proposal go out the door with incorrect information? Maybe it has an incorrect customer name that was typed too fast in one system but is correct in the other.

When proposal and contract information flows between two integrated systems, you don’t have to worry about those types of mistakes. Those are the kinds of missteps that can cost your company money. This is one of the advantages of integrating two systems. Doing so can help boost productivity and reduce errors by limiting the amount of dual entry.

Integrating systems can also improve speed and lower the cost of maintaining both installations. System integration can help improve customer satisfaction by reducing the time required to enter data on each system and enabling sales reps to respond faster.

The ability to share client and other information with ConnectWise Manage means you’ll have all of your clients readily available in QuoteWerks whenever you need them. This can make it easier and faster to fill out proposals. It also ensures that your proposal is properly added to your sales pipeline. Once sold, it can also be part of your project management tool so you can watch the progress unfold.

The QuoteWerks integration with ConnectWise Manage is no exception. Discover the benefits of having an integrated system as well as some things you probably didn't know about the QuoteWerks and ConnectWise integration.

QuoteWerks and ConnectWise Have History

In 2005, ConnectWise saw that QuoteWerks was going to be the de facto quoting standard for writing proposals for IT companies. They wrote the initial integration between ConnectWise and QuoteWerks. The ConnectWise community found that they needed better integration with QuoteWerks. This resulted in the QuoteWerks development team creating our own robust integration solution with ConnectWise that is built-in.

Moving forward in time, Aspire Technologies, the creators of QuoteWerks, created a ConnectWise panel for the sole purpose of learning what the ConnectWise community needs and integrating that into QuoteWerks.
