Why Local Automation?

The automation industry is a complex, highly-specialized industry.   A single automated machine can contain hundreds of intricate mechanical and electronic devices, each requiring specialized training to install, service, and support.   Businesses that invest in automation understand the complexity of their investment and, as a result, often insist on purchasing automation products exclusively from manufacturers with an extensive, local support network.

The purpose of LocalAutomation.com is to bring together 'buyers' and 'sellers' of industrial automation technologies by providing powerful online tools to both groups.

Quote Generator with Online Data Synchronization

The Local Automation Quote Generator simultaneously connects to your accounting database, customer database, and online web portal in order to help your staff generate accurate quotes (with lead times!) in a matter of seconds.   As each new line item gets entered into your quote, the Quote Generator instantly synchronizes prices and lead times with your online data!   It also scans through your customer's order history to check for previous prices, thereby ensuring that you use consistent, high-margin pricing.
