Enterprise Product Quotation System Design And Implementation

With the development of science and technology, the increasingly rapid trade has quickened the working pace of the company.

Large quantities of customers are gone due to lack of high-efficient business model. This will cause great loss to firms. For the sake of rapid response to market needs this thesis focus on discussing the weak points of traditional quotation model from both theoretical view and practical perspectives. Based on the activity cost forecasting theory of ABCM (Activity-Based Costing Management) , the decision-making supporting system software was successfully developed. Using the software will improve the comprehensive competence of the firm as well as the efficiency of cost management and control. It will simplify the quotation process, improve the working efficiency, reduce the quotation organizations and reduce cost at the same time.Software regarding products quotation is rare in the market.

The operational framework as well the operating procedures of some interfaces is introduced in the last part of the thesis. And in this thesis the preliminary plan about system integration is also provided. This system is based on the B/S designing model. And it also puts SQL Server 2005 database management system, C++ program language as well as Visual Studio C++ SP6.0 into use.After introducing this information system, the rapid and accurate verification to the products cost becomes reality.
