What’s New

Win/Lose Tracking Is Here! More Data from the  Advanced Reporting

Customer Awarded/Lost status is now available in both quote edit and project key contacts, included in advanced reporting.

ATS understands the importance of data driven decision making for every business.

With this new feature anyone has the  ability to monitor which customers are awarded, and your win  and losses at both the Project and Quote level, automatically input bid values, attach bid notes, and generate advanced reports for in-depth analysis. Our tool is a game-changer for any sales team.

To get started once your customers are added to a quote your team will need to update who was awarded. 

This can happen from the newly redesigned customer section within the Quote Edit screen. Simply  click on Customers, from the drop down select Awarded or Lost

If Awarded is selected the BID Value will be the total quote value for that customer.

There is also an ability to leave notes regarding the Bid or the Quote. 

The same updates can be made from the Key Contacts on the Project Detail page. 

Simply click on the 3 dots next to key contacts , click on Bid Status and update which customer was awarded the project.

To get the best results for the reporting feature don’t forget to mark what quote you received a Purchase Order for. 

You will then be able to generate an Advanced Report, from the Reports section. 

Exports an excel report with three new columns which tracks Customer, Project Status who was awarded and  that looks like this 

It can be transformed into a report that can outline your Close Rate for each customer.
