Trade Service and Quote Software Announce a Key Partnership
SAN DIEGO, CA and EUGENE, OR – September 12, 2011 – Trade Service, a leading provider of product
and pricing data to the plumbing/mechanical/PVF industry, and Quote Software, the premier HVAC and
Mechanical estimating program for commercial contractors, today announced the formation of a new
partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, Trade Service will provide proprietary TRA-SER codes to
allow the synchronization of the TRA-SER SX database of pricing and product information with the
QuoteExpress master parts database. This will provide a vital link for mutual customers to utilize up-to-
date material information during the estimating and bidding process.
“We look forward to the partnership with Trade Service and feel that our mutual customers will greatly
benefit from the link between our software and theirs,” said Kerry Brainard, President and CEO of Quote
Software. QuoteExpress will be featured on the Marketing Affiliates and TRA-SER Link Vendor
webpage’s of www.tradeservice.com.
"Now that Quote Software is being integrated with TRA-SER SX, a new group of plumbing and
mechanical contractors is able to more successfully compete in this tough economy and potentially win
more of the jobs that they bid on," states Tod Moore, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
