COUNTERGO
CounterGo lets you draw, layout, and quote countertops in 3 minutes. Here’s what’s new in the past month.

Seams: You can print seams for your customers, show the measurements as you’re creating seams, and the seams are labeled on the slab layout.
Hobs, upstands, tap holes: If you’re not in the US or Canada, you can now use your terms instead of the USA countertop jargon.

Here’s the full list of CounterGo updates with explanations and help: https://www.moraware.com/category/countergo/

Our users say their quotes are faster, more professional, and helping close the sale quickly. To find out more, call us for an online demo. 866-312-9273

JOBTRACKER
JobTracker is scheduling software that replaces your whiteboard, file folders, and spreadsheets. Here’s what’s new:

Forms: We consolidated some of the form-editing buttons to make setting up and editing forms faster.
Attaching Files: You can attach multiple files to a job or quote in one step. This works on current versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 10. When you click the “Attach File”, you can drag & drop multiple files from the file explorer onto the dialog.

REMNANTSWAP
RemnantSwap is a free place to buy and sell countertop remnants. There are now over 23,000 remnants on the site!

A big chunk of the latest listings are from western Canada – if you’re in Vancouver, Calgary, or Edmonton; you should take a look and post your remnants, too.

Here’s more info, including a 2-minute video.

EDUCATION
We’re co-sponsoring the Stone Industry Education series; it’s a great opportunity to learn from other fabricators:
