“Before implementing integraSoft’s Bid/Quote Management, we needed to hire another person to help handle the bid process. Since the implementation, we are saving a great deal of time which allows us to build and finish our quotes more quickly.”
-Tom Coryn, Vice President

WHY WE NEEDED TO STREAMLINE OUR BUSINESS
