Costimator Improves Estimating Speed for Mattson/Witt Precision Products

(West Springfield – July, 2012) - (West Springfield, MA) MTI Systems, Inc. has announced today that since implementing the company's Costimator cost estimating software, Mattson/Witt Precision Products, Inc. (Barrington, IL) has dramatically improved the consistency and speed of their cost-estimating process. 

"Often times, we quoted similar parts to the same customer," said Kevin Graff, director of operations." When they see wild fluctuations in pricing, they tend to lose confidence. Occasionally, this put us in a position to have to defend pricing forcing us to review all parts again, thus wasting valuable time and resources."

"The final puzzle piece was finding a consistent platform for multiple users so everyone was singing from the same sheet of music" - Kevin Graff, Mattson/Witt Precision, Products Inc.
