Costimator®, by MTI Systems, Enhances Cost Estimating and Quoting Turnaround Time for MCG

Online, October 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - MCG of Portugal announced today that after selecting MTI System's "Costimator cost estimating, quoting and process planning software" they continue to see an increase in their speed and accuracy in their quotations.

MCG has been producing metallic components for nearly 60 years now - and recently - have begun to move forcefully towards more sustainable practices. MCG has combined cutting-edge technologies, robust engineering programs and forward-thinking research & development to help create the kinds of products that have made waves through a wide range of industries. Seeking to help MCG face challenges head on, they addressed their cost estimating issues with a forward thinking approach - by using a professional cost estimating software system such as Costimator®.

"For years, we used a typical spreadsheet for every kind of manufacturing process," said MCG Sales & Marketing Director Pedro Sousa. "What we ended up with was a very inefficient estimating process where - For example, if you had five separate projects to quote, you also had five separately estimated spread sheets!"

MCG knows that in their market, a smart allocation of resources can mean everything. Having to literally double and triple their efforts to produce half as much, they eventually turned to Costimator to help them become more efficient in presenting more accurate quotes. Once the software was implemented at MCG, they saw a considerable boost in their ability to quote more accurately and faster. That meant that not only were they able to land new contracts and build customer confidence, but they were able to boost their brand reputation as well.

"We've been thrilled with the results in using this software," said Sousa. "Simply put, we're getting a lot more out of our cost estimating than we thought we ever could before."
