Intelliquip Integrates HI's And Europump's Life Cycle Cost Calculations In Latest Software Release
COLUMBUS, OH USA -- July 25, 2003 --
For pump users, the original cost of a pump itself amounts to a mere fraction of the real long-term operational
expense of the system. Intelliquip, LLC, the leading supplier of cost effective, Internet-based sales automation
software for the world's pump industry has addressed this issue with the release of version 3.2 of Intelliquip
Solutions™.
Version 3.2, the fifth release from Intelliquip over the past 2 ½ years, guides pump manufacturers' sales teams,
distributors and customers through the complicated process of selecting and pricing the best and most appropriate
pumps for specific applications. And, with the addition of a new integrated Life Cycle Cost calculator, power costs
and other long-term costs can now quickly and accurately be factored in to the decision making process. Version 3.2 also provides multi-speed curve support, additional variable speed support, slant trims on pump size
list, discount codes by product line, restricted access to certain product lines, the ability to copy selections and
configurations, enhanced cover letter and commission worksheet and read only access capability. In addition to the Life Cycle Cost calculations, based on standards established by the Hydraulic Institute (HI) and
Europump, Intelliquip's Version 3.2 also offers over 150 upgraded features, including 50% faster response times and
offline capabilities for selection, configuration, eParts, and quote management. "Pump companies incorporating this technology can provide their customers with better application-specific
technical and commercial information, in less time," said Dave Brockway, President of Intelliquip, LLC. "In today's
competitive environment, pump companies are looking for new ways to provide increased levels of customer service for
less cost. With each new release, Intelliquip delivers additional capabilities to increase the efficiency of the
quotation process and maximize customer service. The new integrated Life Cycle Cost calculator is a good example of
Intelliquip's innovative technology." Intelliquip, LLC was founded by fluid-handling industry professionals with over 120 years of domain experience.
