Qsmart’s product configurator records the exact selection before displaying or emailing its price and full specification.
Compare quotations line by line
| Scope | Record in the quotation | Check at handover |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Model, size and selected configuration | Delivered identifiers and accessories |
| Installation | Mount, cabling and commissioning | Safe installation and signal test |
| Software and support | Licences, warranty and service process | Access details and support contact |
A planning example
If two quotations differ substantially, first compare their scope. One may include a mount, media player or commissioning while another covers the display alone. Ask for an itemised clarification using the same project brief. Keep the agreed configuration and exclusions with the purchase record so a later change in size, memory, touch or software can be priced explicitly.
Practical planning checklist
Start with the job the display needs to do, then compare hardware and installation together. A useful quotation identifies the exact configuration and who is responsible for each part of the project.
Write a short brief
Record the location, intended audience, screen orientation, approximate size and operating schedule. Include photographs and the viewing distance. Describe whether visitors only watch content or need to interact with it.
Separate included and optional items
Ask for the display, mount, computer, software, delivery and installation to be identified clearly. List recurring licences separately from one-time costs. Compare quotations against the same brief so missing items are visible.
Plan the site
Check the access route, mounting surface, power and network availability. Qatar indoor and exterior locations can present very different environmental conditions; verify the exact model’s operating limits for the chosen position.
Agree acceptance and support
Define the content and connection tests required at handover. Confirm the warranty period, exclusions, service process and contact details in writing. Keep the product identifier, approved configuration and quotation together for future support.
Questions to confirm before ordering
What should I send when requesting a quotation?
Share the intended location, screen type or size, quantity, viewing distance, content source and installation requirements. If those are undecided, start with photographs and a description of the job.
What is included in installation and support?
Ask for mounting, cabling, delivery, commissioning, software setup and warranty terms to be listed in the quotation. Coverage varies by product and project; confirm the agreed scope before payment.
