Smartquote fully supports PanTerra's channel partners' needs to run their businesses by providing the real-time visibility into leads and quotes with sophisticated statistic reports for any date range. In addition, a PanTerra channel partner is able to generate branded or co-branded quote and can include their own hardware products with the quote to their customers by using Smartquote.

"I am particularly impressed with the value that each Smartsuite package brings, as well as the simplicity of the implementation and unlimited use plans. PanTerra Smartsuite services are nice additions to our existing unified systems and solutions portfolio. PanTerra is completely changing the industry by eliminating the bits and bytes on communications bills which oftentimes leaves customers at a loss. You will never have to compromise your business productivity to handle something that is not part of your core business."
