Use COSAQ to manage any of the following tasks:

	Raising Estimates:	The system uses predefined default structures to automatically calculate costs and allocate them to their related cost centres. Sales personnel are not required to have in-depth production knowledge to achieve good results.
	Process Control:	All processes have sequentially controlled stages incurring individual costs. Any stage can be checked, if need be, prior to starting the next one.
	Compiling Works Orders:	Many estimates can be combined to one works order, thus increasing profitability. Works order documentation is produced with precise workshop instructions. The same calculative process can allocate planned and actual costs.
	Job Scheduling:	All orders and jobs are automatically planned to the earliest week & machine with available 'load' capacity. They can then be scheduled manually around the 'load system' for greater planning flexibility and control.

With COSAQ, you don't just get a static system. Further customisation to individual requirements will give users what they want.

Furthermore, all our registered users, which have software cover with us, will receive regular updates and the latest releases free of charge.
