“Prospect’s Quote-to-Order Workflow has been a great improvement to our operation, and I’ve been surprised by the number of customers who use the ‘Approve’ link. When the Approve button is selected, we receive an acceptance notification, then orders automatically appear in our accounting system, saving my Sales team considerable time.


I was apprehensive about including the ‘Decline’ link at first, but this has provided us with some valuable feedback and an opportunity to revise the quotation if we wish.


Overall, I wish we’d implemented this sooner and would recommend this to any user who is currently considering adding this to their workflow.”


- Tom Pycock l Sales Director, Brunel Engraving Company
