The process consists of creating a quote, sending out multiple RFQs, creating POs, and finally sending a professional looking quote to the customer in a matter of minutes. It also gives you complete traceability throughout the entire process. You can answer some of the important questions, "Where did all the RFQs leave off"? and "Who worked on the RFQ"?
