Integrated Framer software

[ethnographicmind]

I have been lurking in the background for a while now and thought it was time to make my first post. I am wondering if anyone could give me a little advice on the Integrated Framer software from Wizard. I currently use Life Saver and years ago used FulCalc, but will be getting a Wizard CMC and like the idea of all my software working together. I received a demo copy from Wizard and found configuring and setting prices in the Retail Management portion very complicated and I was not able to set prices accurately to the prices I get from Lifesaver. I know I can have the company install the retail software and train me, but $1800 is a little out of my price range, and I'm also afraid their other programs will be just as complicated to configure and installation and training for the entire suite would be just under $4500.00, I don't think so. I have contacted Wizard to see if they give a deal on set-up and training if someone purchases the whole suite of programs, but no one has gotten back with me. So did anyone else have problems setting up Integrated Framer and is the program as good as they claim, or should I just stick with Lifesaver.

I got the IF visualization program not long after it came out. It went in zip zip. I still use that basic program to good result all the time.

We run Lifesaver as our pricing program, and I like it pretty well.

And we have a Wizard, but it is not connected to either of the other two.

I have all three. Wizard IFViz, IFRM, Wizard 9000mat cutter.
I like the one entry does all. No need to do any double-entry of info or moving files.
