Hurricane Technology, Inc. - Client Proposal System

In the Screen Below (Mac Version Shown), You Simply Pick a Client, Add Services, Price, Any Optional Items and Client Notes.

Do a Client Proposal in a Couple of Minutes - Email the Proposal to the Client While Still at the Client's Location!!!

• Simple and fast data entry using Client, Services, Terms, and Comments
• Get directions to client using "Get Directions" (cool! --> uses Google Maps!) - requires an internet connection
• Convenient calendar date entry (or enter date directly)
• Little or no typing. On current iPad models, you can "dictate" text entry
• Print, create a PDF, or email the proposal to the client with the click or Tap of a button
• System creates color-coded automated follow ups for you after print, create PDF, or email proposal
• You can optionally drag images to the image area, or on the iPad, you can simply "tap" the image area and add image while at the customer site!
• Can easily navigate to client data using "to client" button
• All $ amounts calculated automatically
• All client history saved!

After you have created the client's proposal, and click print, the image below is what the client would get

The printed, PDF, or emailed client proposal includes a signature line for the client

To email a proposal, the system uses the client's email address as entered

When you click get directions, you see Google Maps using the client's address....automatically!

Joe Phillips does not live at Sea World, of course, this is just an example using a real address.

Full Google Maps functionality included: zoom, directions, etc. (very useful on iPad when away from the office)

Below Is the Follow Up Screen So You Can Track Your Proposals' Progress (Two follow up Items Shown):

As each follow up is completed, you click "yes" and that follow up automatically disappears.

You can choose to "See All Follow Ups" if you accidentally clicked Yes on the wrong follow up item

Can also view the related proposal for this follow up by clicking the "View Proposal" button.

Follow ups -- see screenshot below -- are automatically color coded to give you a visual cue how soon they're due (red - very soon or late, orange - within a couple days, and green - several days to go yet)!

When you start the Proposal System, it checks to see if there are any follow up items due soon and it gives you a message if there are.

• Keep all your client information in the database.
• Get directions to client (also on proposal page) using Google Maps!
• Powerful search by last name (or portion of last name)
• Convenient "see job" to see the related proposal for a previous job.

Also, powerful related convenience information available, as you see on the client form below:

1. See all jobs with this client

2. See all jobs with all clients

(Note: if you click or tap "see job", the system opens the related proposal for that job in a separate window!)

As you enter the zip code, the system automatically checks to see if the zip code exists for that city and state you entered. If the zip code does not exist, the system automatically presents an "Other Zips" drop down with zips for that city and state. Once you pick one of those zips, the system then copies it to the zip code field.

You also have the option to force add the zip you entered if you're sure it's a valid zip (see (3) below -- "Add Zip" button).  It's possible that the zip you are entering is not in the included zip database. If you force-add a zip, the system will remember it from then on for that city and state combination (that is, you will get no further errors for that zip code using that city and state).
