Zorowire vs Excel spreadsheets
Quasi ogni officina di cablaggi lavora con fogli di calcolo: lista collegamenti, lista di taglio, distinta base, foglio di preventivo. Sono flessibili e facili da cambiare, ma ognuno si compila a parte, quindi una modifica del cliente va riportata in tutti. Zorowire legge la tua lista Excel e ne ricava tavola, lista di taglio, distinta base e preventivo, così non si disallineano.
— · verificatoIn breve
Per un cablaggio singolo basta un buon foglio di calcolo. Quando i cablaggi si ripetono, cambiano e hanno bisogno di tavola, lista di taglio e preventivo coerenti, tieni Excel per importare ed esportare e lascia a Zorowire il cablaggio.
Cosa ottieni con Zorowire
- One entry for every document: a change to a wire updates the cut list, the BOM, the board and the quote.
- Cut lengths computed from branch lengths and your allowances, not typed.
- A 1:1 formboard drawn for you.
- Zoro checks before anything is built: empty cavities, wrong gauge for the terminal, missing seals and part numbers.
- A revision diff instead of comparing two sheets by eye.
Dove Excel è forte
- Everyone has it and knows it.
- Completely flexible: any column, any format.
- Fast for one-offs: one builder bills a complete harness in about 30 minutes with his own sheet.
- No lock-in.
