Thread: estimates and typing files with computer?

Tweet

OOPS, sorry, I thought you wanted body shop software....There are packages for repair shops but I havent seen any custom engine software...... you could easily do an Excel spread sheet like everyone is suggesting. I did one for our use in quoting robot systems. I have canned components with pricing and have the ability to add custom stuff.

Do you have Microsoft Excel on your computer? If yes, the rest is easy. If no, you have to pony up the $$ to Bill and make him a bit richer.

First, figure out what software packages are installed on the computer. You should be able to click on "START" in the lower left hand corner of the screen. There will be a selection named "programs" that pops up a list of the programs to open..... there is probably a few, most are useless. Look for MS Excel.

The CD, thumb drive, etc are storage methods....you dont need any of these to start, they are a substitute for you hard drive. For a number of estimates, you can store these on your hard drive..... The CD, thumb drive, etc are also used to store copies of what is on the hard drive so, in the event of a hard drive failure, you have a second copy (called a backup).
