I recently joined the Soft Tech team and started to learn how to drive V6. It’s important I understand and can drive it, so I can show customers how to get the most out of it. I might still be a little slow with the driving, but it is getting better.

On a regular basis I will update you on key V6 features to make your life easier and get more windows out the door. I’m going to start the series with a little gem called Project Manager.

Project Manager

The latest version of V6 has a tool called Project Manager, a very useful tool for the commercial high-rise fabricator or any user of V6 that needs to separate and identify stages of a project.

The tool allows a quote to be broken down to show how many different types of doors and windows make up that order. Big projects can be separated based for each building’s level and named or identified separately.

Some manufacturers use spreadsheets to break down the order requirements, however V6 will manage the project and changes, as parts come in and orders are fulfilled. There is no need to keep updating it, the system does it for you.

Accessing the tool

Accessing the tool is easy. In V6:

  • select a quote.
  • on the ribbon select the Project Manager button.

 

 

Benefits

The Project Manager tool allows you to:

  • split forward orders to suppliers.
  • review project progress in one snapshot.
  • complete accurate forecasting.
  • have better cash flow projections.

Stay tuned for even cooler V6 driving tips! I foresee being inspired to write more of blog posts soon. If you have any questions about the Project Manager tool contact us.
