WHY BENCHMARK QUICK QUOTE
Most estimating software calculates what you enter.
Quick Quote understands what the flooring job requires.
The difference is not another proposal template. It is flooring-specific logic connected to the sales workflow.
GENERIC ESTIMATING
Build the estimate from manually selected lines.
- Depends heavily on the estimator remembering every accessory
- Generic formulas must be configured for flooring behavior
- Installation requirements can live outside the estimate
- Option changes can require rebuilding parts of the quote

THE ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD
The intelligence is underneath the screen.
Benchmark Quick Quote is what the salesperson uses. Benchmark Core is the logic working behind it.
Core applies material quantities, waste, labor, minimum charges, accessories, pricing logic and job-specific requirements so the estimate follows the company's rules instead of relying on each salesperson to remember every detail.
That separation keeps the sales experience simple while the estimating rules stay controlled and consistent.
