Budget Your Project Better

Quote Services

One of the easiest ways to manage your project's budget is knowing the total cost of materials before you get started. With Elliott Electric Supply's quote services, we can help you make informed decisions by working closely with your Bills of Materials to find areas where you can save additional costs.

Create however many quotes as you want, whenever you want for special pricing. Once your quote is approved, you can save it for later or convert it into an order for immediate purchase. With our Rapid Entry form, you simply enter any Elliott Product or Custom Part Numbers and the corresponding quantities for which you would like to receive a price quote. To submit a quote even faster, our Bulk Quote Pad allows you to copy/paste item quantities and part numbers for your computer.

RFQ is an acronym for Request For Quotation.

After you create a quote, you will submit it as an RFQ to your Elliott Sales Rep. Once approved, your RFQ will return to you as an EES Quote with our special pricing.

Elliott Quote

An Elliott Quote, or EES Quote, is a quote that was entered by an Elliott Salesperson. The quote may be negotiated over the phone, in person, or created online on your account and submitted as an RFQ. While an RFQ is under your Sales Rep's review, it will appear online as a Pending Quote. After it's approved, it is an EES Quote with special pricing. The EES Quote cannot be modified after its approval.

Pending Quote

A Pending Quote is a quote you make online. If the quote was submitted as an RFQ, it shows up as a Pending Quote while being processed by your Elliott Sales Rep. Pending Quotes can be modified, deleted, or saved for future use.

Start a Quote

Log into your account and hover your mouse over ACCOUNT, located in the top menu. Under the Orders, POs, & Quotes sub-menu, click Quotes / RFQs.

On the Quotations page, there are two methods to create a new quote. You can use the Rapid Entry method or, for options, click the green Create Quote button to get to the Create a Quote: Delivery Information page.

After you have submitted your delivery info, you continue on to the Add Items to the Quote page, where you can choose a method of adding items to your quote.

Add Items with Product Search

From our Products section, you can find the items you need, type a quantity in each item's quantity box, and click "Add to Quote." You may repeat the process for different items as many times as necessary. You can revise your items and quantities before you save and submit the quote.

Add Items with Rapid or Bulk Entry Search

The Rapid Entry and Bulk Pad options allow you to enter Elliott or Custom Part Numbers and the corresponding quantities to build your price quote. The Bulk Pad is best for copying and pasting parts and quantities quickly from your computer.

Add Items from From a List, Quote, or Order

You can copy items to your new quote from a custom list, from another quote, or from an order that you've placed in the past. You can adjust the copied quantities as needed before saving and submitting.

Once you have chosen your method, you will see the Quote Mode banner at the top of the screen.

Build a Quote

Using our Products pages and/or Quick Buy features, add your items and quantities that you want to order into the shopping cart. When you're ready to build your quote, go to the cart checkout page and click either of the two Request a Quote buttons.

Start building your new quote by adding Quote Information and Delivery Information and then, click Save Quote

Now, your new quote has its own Quote # and a details page. On the quote details page, you can begin editing your quote,

Shop Products

When on the Quotations page, click Create Quote button to go to the Add Items to the Quote page. There are three methods of finding items and adding them to your quote: Product Search, Rapid or Bulk Entry, and From a List, Quote, or Order.

Rapid or Bulk Entry

You may use the Rapid Entry text boxes or Bulk Pad. When using the Rapid Quote - Bulk Pad, enter quantities and part numbers with a space, comma, or semicolon in between or copy/paste from your file. Your entry must have only ONE ITEM per line.

A black background means the step is complete. A background with blue stripes means the steps is processing. Pending steps are gray.

If you need more details, you can contact your Elliott Sales Rep, whose name will appear on the quote details page in the Quote Information section. Your Sales Rep's contact information can be found toward the bottom on your Account Overview in the section labeled Contacts.

Additional items can ONLY be added to a Pending Quote.

(Note: If you would like to add items to an existing EES Quote, you will need to copy the quote as a new, pending quote, add the desired items, and submit it as an RFQ.)

Open your list of Pending Quotes and click the Quote # you want to add items to.

On the Quote Details page, click the Add Items to Quote button.
