Costimator Quoting Software Cuts AAR Precision Systems Turnaround Time by 50%

Online, September 13, 2013 (Newswire.com) - MTI Systems, Inc. (www.mtisystems.com) announced today that since implementing their Costimator® cost estimating and quoting software, AAR Precision Systems (Hunstville, AL) has cut the amount of time it takes to turn around their cost estimates for their quoting process by 50%.

"Prior to incorporating Costimator, we were quoting using a slow and inconsistent spreadsheet program," said AAR Precision Systems Estimator Thomas Kasyan. "The results eventually began to raise eyebrows within our own company. Once we bought this quoting software and began to take advantage of their Cost Modeler database - we fixed a substantial chunk of our cost estimating and quoting problems."

The AAR Precision System is one of the country's most recognized advance material aerospace and commercial structures manufacturers. In an industry where speed and time are critical, the Costimator quoting software proved to be an ideal fit.

"The Costimator software allows us to configure our estimates based on both our abilities and needs," explained Kasyan. "Once we were able to leverage that kind of customization in our estimating process, we were able to boost our turnaround time by 50%. Right now, we're using 20 cost models - 6 of which we use on a daily basis. "

Not only have the cost models proved to be a valuable asset, but the scalability of the quoting software has been helpful as well.

"Even our non-estimators can get involved with the cost estimating and quoting process," added Kasyan. "Now we can use models in real time, generate man hours and integrate it with "finesse", our ERP software."
