it's been a while

Ok, so it's been a while since our last post but here is the update, it's been exciting and we hit a few snags.

QUICK ESTIMATE WEBSITE
this is complete and fully cfunctional, I love it, I use it, It's great.  Big thanks to the Mofirst web developers for this, they are pretty clever dudes.  It is fully functioning, you cant register but you can log in (registration is via the paid iphone app) and create products and services, rates and prices and whole new estimates, upload your logo, define your terms for the bottom of the estimates and invoices and produce pdf estimates and invoices for print or email.  It is very clever and will really strengthen the phone app.  The webapp also indicates once an estimate has been converted to an invoice after job completion. (there is possible future updates that would indicate when paid/part paid, produce outstanding invoices etc etc)

QUICK ESITMATE FREE PHONE APP
This is completed too and about to be final tested for launch.  It has limited functionality and a maximum number of estimates but otherwise, you can set your products and services, rates and create estimates for emailing  to the customer.  It gives you a good feel for what the paid app is.

QUICK ESTIMATE PAID APP
This is the deluxe model and has everything, is fully functioning and synchronises with the web application.  You can be out on site, create an estimate, add the services, rates and approximations and send it over to the server and it will be ready to edit/amend or print when you return to the office.  Alternatively, you could email the customer and it could arrive in his inbox as a pdf before you even leave.  Obviously the data connection may be an issue with syncing and has given us some trouble, we are looking at a manual sync instead of auto sync, and/or auto detection of data signal.  This is the real snag and has caused a few issues when out testing the app.  This is the main item delaying the launch and production of a final build for testing.

SUPPORT SITE
This is 90% complete and will have latest news about builds, updates, planned updates, as well as a FAQ, quickstart guide to using the app and support contact links.  Big thanks to Richard at seveninternet.co.uk for his help with this, its looking very cool now.




It's been a while but we have been busy, the next steps are really going to be planning the launch, the marketing and then launching...it's about to get exciting, we hope!
