Thre suite’s estimate manager takes the guesswork out of estimating, and creates professional estimates quickly and easily in just a few minutes.  

Estimate Manager is the core module of the PPG Access Business  Management system. Estimates, job cards and invoices can all be produced from the estimate details, providing a professional look and enhancing the image of the business.

Estimate Manager links directly to WebTrim to provide up-to-date data for business analysis.
