Description

The Breton Fabmaster software suite is designed to take the guesswork out of the sales, inventory and shop management process. The system consists of three modules: Designmaster, Imagemaster and Shopmaster.

Designmaster allows sales personnel to create custom kitchen drawings by assembling graphics, importing features and designating customer color and edge preferences, automatically filling in customizable estimates.

Imagemaster is a digital inventory management system, allowing incoming slabs and remnants to be photographed, defect marked and cataloged for remote selection--providing the images necessary for layouts to be achieved off-machine. A searchable graphic inventory database allows the most optimal selection of materials or remnants. Slab data can then be archived for use in examining supplier value.

Shopmaster is Breton's shop scheduling and management utility, which polls the entire digital queue of jobs to be carried out, analyzes cycle-times considering the actual equipment owned, recommends the order of the operations and generates the cutting/ profiling programs for machines involved. This allows the user to monitor job status and location, providing the information a shop needs for optimal efficiency.

Designed as an intuitive and user-friendly solution, QuickQuote from Crystallyne Enterprises is a visual pricing solution for countertop fabricators and design professionals. QuickQuote automatically generates a shop-quality drawing as it is being priced, and it requires no CAD experience, making it possible for even novice computer users to start quoting in mere minutes, the company reports.

QuickQuote stores a shop's entire product catalogue in one location and offers a variety of pricing options for each individual product. Users can switch between products, colors and options with the click of a mouse, and they can then compare and contrast those options by putting quotes side by side on QuickQuote's comparison page.
