“At The Will-Burt Company, the key to winning new business is quick response to our customers’ requests for quote. Through the years, Costimator has been our answer for providing quick, accurate quotes with a relatively small group of estimators. Missing important details on an estimate is a hazard when working quickly, but Costimator’s IQ Builder elements have allowed us to automate some of our repetitive operations. We’re also excited about further improving our turnaround with the Cost Modeler feature now available.”

- Kevin Baldwin, Process Engineering Supervisor, The Will-Burt Company

Hats off to MTI for providing a superior product and excellent support as well, keep up the good work guys!"
