I like the Panaspec version. Simple drag and drop into the cart. I do all my
submittals in word. I try not to break down the individual costs anymore to
the clients. Makes them think their on a shopping spree. I have some pretty
good excel spreads I've built for costing, job tracking, and JSR's.
I keep getting hounded from QuoteWorks to try their software Interface. It
Interfaces with Act, which I use in our office to track everything,
communication wise.

Yah, I  have Panasonic's.

I made mine in Excel years ago, showed it to Mark at DMP (I think it was
Mark) and they expanded upon it. It's simple but works well.
