CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALQuadra is not just a nice to have but a must have for Oakville Hydro. It saves our job planners,designers and �nancial team hours each and every day with the seamless integration between the three products: Quadra, KEY2ACT, and GP. We are no longer updatingspreadsheets with new inventory pricing or manually creating jobs in KEY2ACT. Having anROI of less than four months made the purchase decision pretty easy for us but the continued collaborative partnership with ERTH has validated our decision.
