Kwikcost's print inplant management software is a specific solution for In-plant printers.

budget code analysis

Kwikinplant includes its own easy-to-use report writer that enables you to view data on-screen, print reports or print to file, and export data in most formats

Easy effective reporting
Users can make use of Kwikinplant's numerous report formats that are clear, concise and easy to read. Reports are designed to print on standard sized paper, they can make full use of today's cheap colour printing facilities and can be easily modified using the built-in report writer. Data is held in standard DBF files and can be printed to paper, spreadsheets and CSV files.

Features for local government
Kwikinplant can be set up to your exact requirements enabling efficient handling of Budget codes, Ledger codes, Cost centres and Project codes. Built-in error prevention methods eliminate the possibility of jobs being billed without the required or correct codes. Entry screens can be set up to allow the users to enter budget codes in a speific format, preventing billing errors and reducing time wasted on late customer queries. A single job may be billed to any number of departments, removing the need for multiple job bags for the same job.

Training

Kwikinplant uses simple to use standardised entry screens which require minimum training, and which can be split to suit your requirements. Training can take place on-site (depending on location) or by using our on-line training facility. On-line training can be broken down into and over a period of your specification.

Our experienced staff can remotely train any number of users, whereby staff and trainers view the same screen and either party can take control to train or ask questions.

Support that fits your requirements
A Kwikcover licence offers full phone, e-mail and internet support. Software upgrades are included. A high speed Citrix linkup enables users to dial into our servers for immediate on-line support. We take great pride in our level of support, not just for offering assistance when required, but also for finding ways to improve the system for your benefit.

Cost code analysis
Options are available to analyse or re-charge jobs under multiple cost code or category codes. Any number of entry boxes can be included as can a pre-set number of characters, either numeric of alpha. Codes can also be cross checked for accuracy.

Job entry


	Improve department performance Jobs can be created from standard templates in seconds. Kwikinplant remembers the last sequential number for numbered jobs and can hold fixed quote rates, or re-calculate rates at today's prices. Templates can contain complete information about a job to include full material and labour prices.

E-commerce
E-commerce options include systems for Purchasing, Order entry and viewing current and past orders. Users can quickly view job information to check for queries. Our e-commerce options include efficient management of documents, stationery and form stocks. Any size of file can be uploaded quickly without any restraints on e-mail size. Local PC stations or the networked copier can display any uploaded files.

Some of the many benefits of kwikcost print estimating software

Obtain more orders by getting your print quotes out faster
Reduce the time spent on estimating and creating orders
The software is easy to use, we can have you up-and-running in hours

Charge labour on external jobs only
In-plant printshops tackle both internal and external orders. Kwikinplant enables you to charge different rates for both, with external work billed differently to in-house work.

Analyse job by budget codes
Orders can be analysed or billed to various cost centres. Orders can be prevented from being printed without a valid cost code, encouraging the user to contact customers early for their cost codes, rather than leaving it until the last moment.

Improve department performance
Safeguard the print room. The best way to prevent the onset of FM contracts is to make your department irreplaceable. A well run department, offering excellent service, with an efficient print management system, is a department with a future.

Click costs from discount matrix
A matrix of rates for your high speed copiers can be set up allowing prices for jobs to be calculated quickly. Clients can benefit from discounted rates for larger quantities. With Kwikinplant's unique graduated matrix calculation quotes are possible on a genuine sliding scale to help avoid the situation where a quote for 1,100 is cheaper than that for 1,000.

	Print recharging It's one thing getting the estimate out quickly, and the job to the client quickly and accurately. But where systems fall down is in re-charging the jobs.Kwikinplant uniquely offers an instant recharge to finance. The routine is fully automatic, simply mark the jobs as complete, select 'Invoice' and the jobs are invoiced, any reports printed and a file sent through to finance - in the format they require. No rekeying of data in Finance, no errors, no delays. With a potential savings to finance alone of many weeks a month. Outsourcing Work can be easily outsourced, either in part or as a complete job. Kwikinplant can hold rates for outwork so that costs can be calculated without having to wait for quotes. Suppliers can receive orders by paper or electronically.

Customising software
We realise that no two in-plant businesses are the same. We can advise on the best way to either amend or completely re-write our code to suit yours. We are happy to modify the software to your specifications, because we understand that the most productive and successful results come from the most productive and successful software. So implementation to your exact requirements is a vital element of the Kwikinplant solution.
