Synchroteam allows you to create quotations.
A quotation may be created for a Customer, for a Site or for a specific Job. In the case of a quotation linked to a Job, the displayed address will be that of the Customer or that of the Customer's Site if you have indicated a Site or it can be the address of the Invoiced Customer, if you have selected one.
