Since 1996, Hero Data Services has been one-stop-shopping for all the IT needs of insulation
contractors, be it PCs & networking, web/e-mail/groupware hosting, online backup, virus/malware
cleanup, and more. We also offer custom programming services and have some of our own nationally
distributed applications.
@QuotePlus
Having written software for many different industries, we long ago recognized that insulation
contractors have needs that no other industry does when it comes to software. No off-the-shelf
or general contracting application will do what you need it to, so we introduced our flagship
product for the insulation industry back in 1998: @QuotePlus.
We geared it to incorporate suggestions and requirements from actual insulation contractors,
and then wrapped it in an easy-to-use interface. @QuotePlus is designed to ease all
the front-end chores of the insulation contracting businesses:
- Estimating - With an easy-to-learn-and-use feel and powerful tools like copying,
templates, kits, profit-percentage pricing, and more, you can generate a bid in as
little as 30 seconds and then e-mail it directly to the client with the salesperson's
signature already on it!
- Leads - Input and manage your leads, import them from your web site, customize your
interview criteria, e-mail appointment cards to your salespeople, and more!
- Scheduling - Super-easy drag-n-drop scheduling that simulates your whiteboard, but
automatically updates on every user's screen; color coding jobs, scheduling trucks,
crews and employees, generating schedules, load sheets, and work tickets are just the
beginning!
- Work Orders - show material substitutions, installer instructions for each item,
automatically get driving directions in English or Spanish, show interactive maps to
destinations, generate a load sheet for the truck, and even store and show photos of
the job site!
- Certificates - Generate certificates (aka attic cards) for all the major manufacturers,
as well as different products!
- Inventory - Manage multiple inventories for separate companies for different product lines,
and know what's out in the warehouse right now and what's reserved for upcoming jobs!
Fiberglass, blown-in products, and spray foam are just the beginning!
- Job Costing - Know the estimated versus actual cost of a job, including material cost, labor cost,
burdens, overhead, and other costs for each phase of the job!
- Labor/Payroll - Pay your employees using any combination of piecerate, flat dollar,
quantity, and hourly pay methods on any job, even at the individual line item level;
calculate daily and/or weekly overtime, and even feed it all directly to ADP®,
Ceridian®, or Paychex®!
- Commissions - Pay your salespeople commissions at flat rates or on sliding profitability
scales based on job type; you can even verify the invoice has been paid by the customer first,
and reduce the commission rate over time unpaid!
- Invoicing - Invoice out all or parts of a job either on demand or automatically,
generate progress bill or AIA invoices, and have them automatically e-mailed directly to
your customers!
- A/R - In addition to the expected invoices, payments, and statements, you can see the
aging by salesperson, apply deposits to open jobs, apply payments between customers, and
interface to third-party accounting packages like QuickBooks®, Peachtree®, MAS90®
, MAS200®, and others; you can even have @QuotePlus interface to your web site to allow your
customers to pay their invoices on line with credit cards!
- Streamline/Organize - eliminate double or triple-entry and have information at your
fingertips, e-mail reports directly or save them to view in other applications, define what
your users can and can't do or see and track their activities!
- Grow - Manage multiple companies and multiple product lines (from fireplaces to closet shelving
to waterproofing to garage doors), leverage new features monthly, and use the power of the Internet
to kick your estimators out of the office and have them generating proposals on the job site
from their vehicles!
Licensing
Licensing @QuotePlus for your business is as easy to do as it is to use. No complicated per-seat or
per-user fees, just one fee per branch of your business. You are not limited to the number of
computers in each location that have the software installed. We also back it up with an easy
monthly support fee for unlimited support calls.
Support
The best product is made even better by the best support - while @QuotePlus is designed for
reliability and ease of maintenance, included in the subscription fee for @QuotePlus is 24x7 support,

Further, we have built our business around offering the best customer service in the industry, bar none.
You get to talk to people who are not only knowledgeable, but nice. When was the last time you got both
of those from an IT company?
