A CLEARER TOOL TRIAL WORKFLOW • Work through Customer, Baseline, Proposed, Follow-up, and Compare on iPhone. • Use wider trial sections on iPad, with paired fields stacking when space is limited. • Fill in available customer, material, machine, and product details from saved records. • Copy a baseline into the proposed scenario to start a comparison. • Record a run and open its saved history. • Compare estimated per-part costs and annual savings using the values you enter. • Create a PDF report and open the saved report before choosing to share it. • Keep observations and trial photos with the customer discussion they belong to. CUSTOMERS AND CONTACTS TOGETHER • Create local sales contacts and associate them with customers. • Keep names, roles, phone numbers, and email addresses handy. • Mark decision-makers and retain sales notes in Milling Calcs. • Choose contacts to import from iOS Contacts. • Refresh linked contact details or explicitly export local contacts. • Continue using local contacts even without iOS Contacts access. FOLLOW THROUGH AFTER THE TRIAL • Track progress through customer review, quotes, and the final outcome. • Record next actions, due dates, supplied samples, and quote revisions. • Set local next-action reminders. • Estimate tool coverage and a reorder date using entered stock, production, tool life, and lead time. • Review the assumptions before setting a reorder reminder. MORE CONTEXT FOR TOOLS AND PRICES • Browse products and selected details side by side in the iPad Tools workspace. • Search saved shop tools when choosing a product preset. • Keep price history, source, currency, and effective date attached to pricing records. • Import product lists and customer price sheets from CSV. • Get clearer feedback for malformed CSV files before an import preview is created. RECORDS AND SHARING • Search saved records across calculation, shop, and sales categories. • Narrow the view by category and choose ascending or descending order. • Transfer sales projects with contacts, products, trials, photos, and saved PDF reports. • Review proposed additions and updates before importing a project. • Keep records already on your device when merging a project. • Export a sales-summary CSV for work outside the app. • Review a confirmation before deleting sales records or saved trial photos. Your core work stays local, with no account needed for calculations, customer records, or trial planning.
