The App has been designed by professional framers, many of them with decades of experience in the industry.
“Keep it simple” is the keynote, leaving you to do your job of talking to clients and making frames. The App is installed on portable devices (phones & tablets) meaning you can give prices on the move at Markets, Fairs and even clients homes. The App can be configured to many different pricing strategies.
Enter the rebate size
Enter the moulding code
Choose the mount / glass / sundry options
Tap “Price” that’s it!
Click Previous / Next step for a visual walk-through.
The App works out the price by adding a variable price onto a base price. For instance if glass was set to 0.3p/sq.Cm., and the glass base price was 350p, the price for a piece 50 x 50 Cm. would be worked out as follows. - 50 x 50 = 2500 sq.Cm. x 0.3 = 750 + 350 = 1100 (ie. £11.00). By varying the variable cost against the base cost there is a fine degree of control over the final price.
All the other prices are worked out in a similar way, then all added together with sales tax, and the final price displayed.
No. The App is for devices that run Android. It has been successfully tested on (amongst others) HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy (phones), Amazon Kindle HD, Sumvision Voyager (7” tablets), and an Asus 10” tablet.
The App. can use two different types of code to get the information it needs to work out the moulding part of the price.
A generic code denoted by the “#” at the start (eg. #56F). Here the cost of the moulding is represented by the numbers and the width by the letter. These codes are not unique. You can work out the code by going to “Settings” > “Get Moulding Code”, then write it on the chevron.
Referring to a file (“Mouldings.csv”) which contains details of individual mouldings and these can be entered by their reference number. This file can be imported from supplier’s websites. It is also possible to customise this file to suit your particular mouldings (hint open file in Excel).
You can use both systems (ie. Some mouldings priced with a generic code with others using a suppliers CSV file).
The App. works out prices in exactly the same way as Wessex Professional. So, as long as the parameters are the same the prices will match. However, remember that there are only 5 Mount/Glass/Sundries options on the App. (any number on WPP4). Mouldings cannot be “stacked” and only one sundries item may be chosen. Prices worked out using the Moulding Code system will be slightly less accurate (but still very close).
