With Etilize, QuoteWerks searches the Etilize database "from the cloud" by description, keyword, or part number, and returns product matches including customer friendly descriptions, product pictures, and in depth product summaries with marketing and feature descriptions, all of which are easily added into the quote. The pictures are automatically downloaded and saved into the QuoteWerks\Images folder. Currently Etilize will return part numbers for Australian distributors Ingram Micro and Dicker Data. Real-time pricing (cost) and availability will be returned for Ingram Micro, and daily static pricing (cost/list) and availability will be returned for Dicker Data. Accessory and comparison features are not included at this time. [Service Release: 3.07]
