EFI IQuote is unique and innovative as it’s a “smart software” that allows printing and packaging companies to include all of the specifications for the various equipment and processes, as well as capturing the expertise of the most experienced estimator in their plant. Once a job specification has been entered, IQuote evaluates all of the device options and processes that have been set up within the system to propose the optimum solution.

All possible production paths are calculated within moments, including equipment, speeds, waste, materials, layouts and many other details. It could take hours for a human estimator to calculate all of the possible production paths, but with EFI IQuote this can be accomplished in minutes.
Once the production paths are determined, IQuote calculates the cost of each and presents the most cost-efficient choice.
InterTech Award Judges commented on IQuote’s robust, rules-based automation architecture, saying:
“This appears to have a very strong RBA on the front end, and I haven’t seen anyone pull that off yet. It’s a big, big change in the industry when you don’t have to predefine every template you’re quoting.”
