"This program has a seldom-found flexibility to adapt according to a specific need. It is very difficult to find a product that is suitable for a manufacturer's representative firm. After extensive searching and trying several products, I have selected QuoteWerks and am most happy with the results," said Jim Hager, President of McFadden Sales, Inc.

QuoteWerks has built its position in the marketplace as a small to middle market leader by providing a line item based quoting solution that has the ease of use of spreadsheet software, with the feature set, power, and flexibility of high end custom solutions without the associated costs and complexities.
