FabTrol Insights

Rex and Randy, two members of our training staff, have put together a list of tools and tricks that will enhance your experience whether you enter or import the bill of material into FabTrol's estimating system.  My favorite is entering the location and type of work in our drawing and phase fields and then using our Phase/Drawing and Drawing/Phase reports to organize the estimate by location then type of work or by type of work then location.

This is just a quick reference to make sure you know about all of the powerful tools that are available to you. You can find the list here in our product support area.  For more detail you can search our help system or call one of our services staff.

FabTrol is blessed with many wonderful customers and it’s always great to see them and hear how they are doing—even when they give us grief about something.  It was particularly exciting this year because of all the buzz about our new product, which they will receive as part of their normal support and maintenance.  We presented the software many times each day at the booth and to as many people as we could cram into the room we booked for lunch. We should have booked a larger room! We ran out of time before we covered half of the software and had no trouble holding their interest well beyond the scheduled time (of course the meal arriving late could have contributed to that. Sorry).  Customers were particularly pleased with the drawing log and multi-job nesting and all seemed to grasp the power of the deeply integrated custom filter and reporting system.
