### "DO NOT CARE ABOUT MAC BASED USERS WHATSOEVER"

January 6, 2025

1.0

It is described above - for 3+ years they have stopped spending the money to do upgrades that make it possible to use their program on Mac based systems. Their "solution" is for you to buy someone else's program and add that to your computer(s) so their program will work - somewhat. The responses are always "sorry not supporting your needs" and absolutely nothing more. Just "sorry" don't plan to do a thing for you - keep paying us and be happy with what you get. I wish someone else would develop the program and finally give them some competition. I would be the first to jump ship. I couldn't stay in business if I treated my customers this way

Pros

It is a great program for foodservice people. Really nothing like it - which is also the problem - no competition.

Cons

They chose not to continue to upgrade along with Apple updates. They say they "can't help" that Apple did software upgrades - well every software company does. AQ just isn't spending the money to update that along with the PC version since there are more PC users. Their "solution" is for Apple users to have to buy another program to make their program work. I have emails going back 3+ years where at first they said they were working on an update for Mac users, then it went to never mind-we aren't going to do that - to we are going to have a web based version so you don't need that to - the latest is "we will let you know if we update for Mac users - In other words, don't contact us - we will contact you IF we make changes. Meanwhile, to use your program I have to pay full price PLUS pay for an additional program to make your program work. And the other program is for every computer I want to use your program on. And when working through the other program, it is glitchy. They don't have any competition and it is VERY obvious. They really, really don't care if you are happy or not.

### "Decision to not support Apple Products"

April 24, 2024

4.0

It was very good until this recent decision to stop supporting Apple users. I think this was a huge mistake as being able to quote on the fly was a tremendous feature for those of us in sales.

Pros

I used to appreciate AQGO as i could complete quotes literally as needed.

Cons

I am no longer able to use the app as it does not support Apple software anymore.

Thank you for your feedback on the AQ GO App. We would like to clarify that the app continues to function on iOS versions up to 17.4.1. Recent updates from Apple, which are outside our control, have unfortunately impacted compatibility with newer iOS versions. While we are actively working to ensure AQ mobile aligns with upcoming iOS updates, we encourage you to utilize our enterprise AQ application available on Apple laptops and desktops through Parallels. Our flagship AQ core products offer more advanced features for enhanced quoting, searching, and pricing capabilities beyond what the mobile app provides. We value your patience as we strive to improve your experience with AutoQuotes. For more information about our products and integrations, please feel free to reach out.

### "AutoQuotes Review"

January 20, 2022

5.0

I mainly use AutoQuotes to quote clients requests for Equipment or Supplies. I do some Kitchen designs and AutoQuotes assists in having all the information necessary to provide clients or consultants with their requirements. Having used AutoQuotes it has changed the ease of getting information and generating quotes.

Pros

AutoQuotes is invaluable in what it offers. You have access to information for over 300+ manufacturers at your fingertips. Once you obtain the discount schedule for the manufacturers you work with there is no longer the need for catalogues or price lists everything is available in one program making it easier to obtain information. Quoting is easy and with thumbnails available for almost all of the products the clients have a visual of the items which allows them to see what they wish to purchase. You can add pictures or literature for custom items that are not in the program which is an awesome feature. Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC schedules are available and can be edited for different equipment configurations. This is extremely useful when doing kitchen/bar designs. Options for printing the quote allows for different types of reports. Options include Quote requests from the manufacturer/supplier, changing quotes to Invoices or other options, Specification report, Spreadsheet of quote, Catalogue, Manufacturers summary, Purchase Order and several others. AutoQuotes keeps improving and as a user from the early days when it started there is no other program that is more useful in the Foodservice Equipment and Supplies industry for North American Manufacturers and Suppliers.

Cons

I don't have any issues with AutoQuotes

### "AutoQuotes is the best! "

October 26, 2021

5.0

Best program available, AQ has never limited us as our business grows. New features and expanding the platform has opened up new doors for us to quote faster, generate more quotes, AQ-pay to help generate more sales, and crated a seemless workflow for designing & quoting a project.

Pros

intergration- AutoCAD, Autoquotes, and Microsoft outlook working seamlessly together without any configuration. Create a quote, turn the quote into a layout, and with a click of a button generate a hyperlink of the quote which opens in outlook autofills customer email and its ready for me to add a message and send to the customer. Awesome, best tool for maximizing workflow.

Cons

The number of AutoCAD blocks can be limited with some manufacturers, but AQ is great about adding the block you can request with a simple click of a buttom. Layout of a quote is limited and no uniqueness because everyones quotes look very similar. Equipment Schedule for the layout drawings needs some improvements. The ability to no show accessories as a seperate line in the table but automatically put it on the same line or in the "notes" would be a game changer. Example: 36" Range has a gas hose, gas hose goes on a seperate line, it would be better to have the gas hose model listed in the notes and gas hose utility info filled in on the same line as the 36" Range.

### "Simply the best way to quote equipment."

March 3, 2022

5.0

Great program, essential to my line of work.

Pros

The ability to switch devices easily without losing any work. Consistency in formatting quotes within your company. The fact that most all manufacturers are in AQ. The AQ police was a very meaningful way to be helpful to eliminating errors found on listed items.

Cons

Integration with newer Apple processors. More consistent integration with email programs and platforms; and the ability to manage which program is used when you want to send your quote. The elimination of the AQ Police function; the money was not the most important reason that this was a helpful tool to make the database more accurate.

### "Its AQ not AI"

January 24, 2022

5.0

I can create a professional looking quote and email it off to a customer in minutes. I can be responsive and include cut sheets for them to present to their inspectors quickly.

Pros

It is easy to put a quote together for our customers. I also print them out often with spec sheets which our customers appreciate. I like the "Optional, Alternate and Inactive" tab features so I can make changes, suggest alternatives etc. without creating a whole new quote.

Cons

It would help if alerts would pop up when some of the pricing has been updated since the quote was created. It would help if factories could list "Common Packages" on items that offer several options. It can be confusing and complicate to decide which items are important or most commonly used. I hate having to remember if an item has a surcharge or not. Now I have to search every item's configuration tab to see if it has a surcharge. You show a "rebates" icon on the initial listing, why not a "Surcharge" icon to alert us? Someday, it would awesome if the factories could show their inventories also. I LOOK UP A PRODUCT AND IT INSTANTLY SHOWS "IN STOCK, SHIPS IN 10 DAYS OR USUALLY TAKES 26 WEEKS"!

### "My 21 yr. Love Affair With Auto Quotes"

January 18, 2022

5.0

In addition to the speed and accuracy of preparing quotes, AQ also allows me to quickly research and compare different products and gain insight into which are the best fit for my customer's particular needs.

Pros

The ease, speed, and accuracy with which I'm able to prepare quotes, proposals, etc.

Cons

My only current complaint is that I've recently been required to sign in each morning with username and password.

### "My go to program when providing quotes and specs to my customer"

March 11, 2022

5.0

I have been using Autoquotes for my 23 plus years in the industry. It is literally the only thing I know. It allows me to quickly and concisely search for products, produce quotes, send the quote to my customer and sales folks and get immediate feedback and if all goes well, the order!

Pros

Autoquotes is easy to learn, easy to use. It is a vital part of my equipment sales operation

Cons

Sometimes so evolved it is easy to lose some technical nuances.

### "My thought on AQ"

October 25, 2021

4.0

Scheduled price changes If w price changes in a month we need the option to choose whether to use the current future pricing for the quote.

Pros

Customs forms, project search is great. still haven't figured out the new project search so I use the original which is fine.

Cons

No Mac or browser based support. Outdated interface. Seems slow at times, especially when working late into the evening. Adding contacts is confusing nd what to do when a contact moves from one company to another. Search shows same person at 3 different companies. The should be a flag for current company to filter out the old company contacts which are still needed for history. The other thing is not naming the quote file the same as the quote name. It has changed several time over the past 3 years and frankly is dumb. Just name it the same as the quote. As an IT guy I know this can be done with the right programmer.. I have to renal all files since the name AQ puts on them is gibberish.

### "AQ is my go to software"

January 18, 2022

5.0

I swear by the program and use it every day all day long.

Pros

The catalog of preexisting items is most useful. The fact that I can store discount structures for future use. Being able to put mark ups on the items is also a fantastic feature.

Cons

I would like to be able to print reports of the quotes that I have created but I want to be able to change the time frame for each report that I want to print. At the moment the report that is generated spits out the entire year's worth of quotes.

### "AQ Experience"

March 8, 2022

4.0

I have been using AQ for over a decade and today's version is the best. We rarely have a problem with the program and when we do the HELP features seem to solve it. I also like the ability to customize the features to tailor to our business needs. he ability to get rid of features is nice too, it help greatly when we are training a new employee to use AQ. It is overall a great product.

Pros

This program is very easy for the end user. As well as for the administrator. AQ is a must for the foodservice industry. It is vital component for our business. We can create project estimates and even purchase with ease.

Cons

I can not think of a feature in AQ that I would change. One thing you need to look into is when you lock the sell of a line item and then change the quantity the sell changes. I maybe doing something wrong but its worth looking into.

### "A life saver"

March 8, 2022

5.0

All their improvements help to keep my orders and quotes and customer service moving fast and customers are so please to be able to get their quote and spec sheets and also the manuals and other factory info that you provide with-in the program.

Pros

When this was created I was doing hand written quotes and faxing those and spec sheets to the customer. Or hand delivering them. LOL

Cons

At first it was a struggle to keep it on-line-but technology has improved and quoting now is quick and looks professional.

### "Great for Quotes"

August 14, 2019

4.0

The business problem we solved was providing a formal quote as opposed to a simple Excel drafted spreadsheets.

Pros

What I like best about this software is the customization capability. You can set up as many custom objects for your customers, and have the option of adding them to your existing catalog.

Cons

My biggest con is that the program only archives previous quotes up to a year. This can be frustrating if the quotes were created by someone no longer with the company or if the time period exceeds a year or more.

Reason for choosing AutoQuotes

President's decision

Switched from

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

We needed a uniformed software that everyone can use and easily edit in the office or remotely.

Dawn, Thanks very much for taking the time to share your review of AutoQuotes. We appreciate your business and the feedback. Regarding your comment about only being able to see quotes up to a year old, I have good news. Our filter to view quotes is something you can modify to a date beyond one year so you can in fact see older quotes. Please feel free to contact our support team for information on how to do change that filter at support@aqnet.com. The AQ Team

### "Auto Quotes"

March 3, 2022

5.0

AutoQuotes is a key part of my job and couldn't imagine doing my job with out it. It is one of my main software programs I use everyday

Pros

AutoQuotes is extremely easy to use and has hundreds of Foodservice equipment and supply manufactures. Up to date pricing and specifications makes it easy to produce customer quotes and feel confident that all the information is current.

Cons

The only con I can think of is how my company's item numbers integrate into the catalog. There is limited information for each item and must be edited by hand. Very time consuming having to edit each individual product

Use it daily and overall experience is great!

Pros

Product is easy to use, I like the features it provides! Looking forward to using AQ SKU to help our sales team know what product is on hand at which warehouse with what quantities are available!

Cons

Mainly the communication from the web folks on the Resources page. There has been some inconsistencies on how it's communicated but after conferring with the support team, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] stepped up and has been great about getting it consistent moving forward!

### "The combination of Autoquotes and Autoquotes Designer are a must for every Foodservice Equipment Sup"

March 8, 2022

5.0

I can replace six employees by using Autoquotes software.

Pros

I love how I can design a bar, restaurant or any other Foodservice operation with ease of the auto cad symbols and adding building from auto cad into your drawing. It’s easy to make changes and add different options. This software replaces six employees.

Cons

That all factories don’t furnish auto cad symbols.

### "AutoQuotes - lots of opportunities"

January 19, 2022

5.0

I actually really like AQ or the ease of use and cross-referencing of products. The match function has been a lifesaver with all of the supply chain issues with covid. It's easy enough where I can verbally walk through some of the functions with my colleagues and they don't need in-depth training. I am pretty sure I am not utilizing all of the functionality just because I may not be aware of some of the capabilities.

Pros

AQ is really easy to use, a lot of the features are intuitive. I do find that a lot of people are unaware of some of the functionality, however, it's so easy you can explore the different functions and not get lost. This is a great presentation tool I have used for sales and customers, the ease of use has allowed me to get the answers I need quickly in critical times with the supply chain.

Cons

The updates are dependent on the customers, so you don't always get all of the information you need. this might be helped if AQ set up required vs. optional fields. Additionally, a lot of the contact info is out of date, again, depends on the info provided. Could AQ send annual reminders to update? That may help keep the info correct.

### "The good, the bad and the better"

March 8, 2022

5.0

I've used it since it's inception. Having quoted the old fashion way I do not know how I could quote without it.

Pros

It makes quoting much easier and faster. Having features like the freight calculator are very handy. Especially in today's climate.

Cons

I do not like the recent change to shade out obsolete items. They are too easily missed. They should be bold or highlighted in a different color. Factories need to put the pricing in for all of their options. The "call factory" is annoying - especially when the item is a standard option.

Anything with billing or trying your other products is a challenge because if you don't like the other products they still keep charging you. It keeps going back to billing.

Pros

it is good for doing most spec books and can be shared with others

Cons

Price and support for Billing . Everything is through email and or someone doesn't answer. If they do answer vis email it is short and doesn't address your question.

March 3, 2022

Has been excellent

Pros

Manufacturers update pricing as it changes. We can put our own discounts in as deviated pricing when it's different than the Mfr standard We can check on shipping status Lots of flexibility overall to make it suit our needs

Cons

It was easy to use once you get the hang of it, best ways to search for a product is sometimes tricky. Have to learn how the manufacturers describe their product compared to the foodservice people that often have different names for something

Appreciate the new components that AutoQuotes has added recently such as the product API. Using AQ is very easy and intuitive. Quoting, finding item information, and item pricing is a smooth process.

I would like to see more APIs be added in the future but I think AQ is already working towards that goal.
