Printwiser Estimating 10.0 Capital/Energy Estimate Summary Format Upgrade

Posted by admin on 2024-05-07 16:43:46 in Announcements (724 views)

Introducing, the Printwiser Estimating 10.0 Capital/Energy Estimate Summary Format upgrade, effective April, 2024. It introduces three new variables in computing the cost price, working capital cost (to cover bank interest on funds), energy cost and sales discount, to better meet the changing economic environment. Energy cost could have previously been represented by a rarely-used charge like excise duty, but is now properly represented on its own. Both working capital and energy cost are calculated as percentages of production cost. The upgrade introduces new formula for calculating some items, some new terminology on the estimate summary working sheet, includes working capital list and form for interest calculation and prorating, and a new hard/limp cover estimate summary report format.

Introducing, the Printwiser Estimating 9.0 Flexible Estimate Spreadsheet upgrade, effective April 11, 2022. It features what most estimators have probably been wishing for, the ability to combine the estimate summary and detailed working sheets into one simple spreadsheet format, one that readily exports to a spreadsheet file. Not only that, you get the option to choose just the columns to show in the spreadsheet. Another useful feature is being able to set up access shortcut to standalone backup databases and copy estimates to and fro directly.

SFI has merged with GreatLife

On August 1, 2025, SFI President Gery Carson announced a merger with GreatLife as the final end of SFI affiliate management activities. This came as a big surprise. Affiliates were advised to join GreatLife, paying for the first month’s membership costing $49 with 19,000 Rewardicals. Although claiming to be too old at 64 years to continue managing SFI affiliates, Mr Carson did say that Eager Zebra Games (TripleClicks.com) and Rewardical.com would still be managed by him. Three new ZCredit packs were introduced in place of the former FDM memberships. So what exactly did he mean by “merger?”

The most significant change in SFI of 2025 is, no more dollar commission payouts. That ended in November of 2024. Now, it is all about Rewardicals, in terms of what affiliates can get. The next is a new “flagship” product, Fun.Money, that offers “4-in-1” access to Eager Zebra Games, ECommergy, Elevation Mall and SFI itself. Rewardicals are basically benefit points obtained a number of ways, including FDM memberships, Eager Zebra Games, Badge Quest, Daily Grand and Daily Crown drawings, and more. You can then redeem or exchange them for Bitcoin, FDM memberships, ZCredits and other items.
