Improve Proposals with the Points Award System

Make sure every proposal you receive provides the information you need to make an informed investment decision. Our Points Award System provides a structured framework you can use to compare options on a total cost basis, allowing you to proceed with confidence that you're receiving the highest value from your equipment.


 


Points Award System

Evaluate purchases by incorporating actual equipment costs plus dealer and manufacturer support capabilities.

Additional evaluation criteria include:

  • Life Cycle Costs
  • Conformity to Specifications
  • Warranty Coverage
  • Vendor Locations
  • Parts Pricing and Availability
  • Shop and Field Service

The rating and weighting functionality allow you to customize what is most important to you as you build your “Value Score Card.”
