Shopfiles is a combination of forms, checklists and software that will help you organize, estimate and create a more productive shop.  Most of us use variations of these forms in our business every day.   Shopfiles can change that wall of auto glass insurance discounts letters to a couple of pages of forms with all their billing and discount information.  GlassPricer software can remove the guesswork from pricing square foot based products.  The radius chart will ensure you accurate pattern making and ordering.  These are just a few of the useful things that Shopfiles will do for you and your business.

Prices are calculated in 4 ways:

1. Square foot
2. Each or Unit Price
3. Square Foot PLUS Each
4. Square Foot PLUS United Inch

With these 4 pricing options, most flat glass products can be accurately priced.   For your convenience, GlassPricer ships with a database of commonly sold products.   Simply add your prices and you are on your way,

Window Pricer adds the total price of glass, linear metal and joint fabrication to calculate a total window price.  Factors that affect this price are:

• Metal component prices
• Glass square foot price
• intermediate horizontal and vertical members.  WindowPricer assumes through-running vertical frame members.
• Joint fabrication price

Component prices are displayed when the price is updated. 

Metal prices are based on 5 types of components used in most commercial window manufacturing:

• Head
• Base
• Side
• Inner Horizontal
• Inner Vertical

Each of these components may consist of many parts (main member, backer plates, stops) all of which must be calculated into the metal price.  In addition, metal prices should also contain gaskets, caulk, backer rod, sill plate, etc.    Your total cost of material, profit and material loss per stocklength must be taken into account when calculating a price for the component.

Glass price is calculated by the square footage and should include, total cost of product, profit, material loss, etc.

Can I use this software for other projects (enclosures, framed mirrors, etc.)?      

You will find that WindowPricer will suit a variety of window and non-window related projects.
