Speed of Quoting

Quoting can be a very time consuming exercise, yet it is essential to maintain a healthy flow of work. Unfortunately, firing back quick but inaccurate quotes is not the answer. Quote too high and a competitor gets the job, quote too low and you could well lose money on the job. Smart-Shopfront solves this by allowing you to design and cost a complete shopfront so quickly that there is no excuse for not knowing the exact glass and hardware costs expected. The fact that the resulting quote also looks so professional with a computer drawn 3D representation of the shopfront is the icing on the cake.

Compatible Hardware

Shopfront hardware can be complicated with different rules for closers working with patches and rails, keepers for locks, left and right oriented patches and more. Designing a shopfront can seem to involve more referencing hardware manuals than actual design. By encapsulating these rules into its hardware database Smart-Shopfront automatically takes care of these issues allowing you to do your job without getting bogged down in manuals.

Save on Glass

Toughened glass is expensive and the tolerances required for frameless shopfronts can be tight. The cost of unusable glass is a significant one. Smart-Shopfront eliminates wastage by taking care of the glass size calculations for you and producing detailed glass order drawings at the touch of a button. No more issues with deducting the wrong clearance, cut-outs not lining up, or forgetting a cut-out.

Record Keeping

Have you ever had a customer call up and give the go ahead for a quote you can't even find any more? Or maybe a panel of glass gets broken and a new one needs to be sent out for installation - how do you know what size the panel was without going out and remeasuring? Smart-Shopfront solves both problems by keeping a complete record of all shopfronts you have quoted or installed.
