MTI Systems Sells Costimator to Its 1,500th Customer



MTI Systems has sold its Costimator software to its 1,500th customer - a milestone moment for the West Springfield, MA, cost estimating software company.

"It is an incredibly satisfying and humbling feeling to get to 1,500," said MTI Systems President Tom Charkiewicz. "While we service the manufacturing industry and fill an obvious need in the marketplace, we are also a software company at our core. For any software company to be around this long and be this successful is a real testament to our people, their ideas and work ethics."

"Costimator was originally created in 1982 as a means for suppliers to reduce estimating time without compromising accuracy or consistency," said a company spokesperson. "Over the years, the software has undergone several dramatic overhauls, but still is every bit as relevant and necessary as it was at its inception."

"While we are certainly happy to see our customers grow and become successful, it is also been a wonderful experience to watch the software develop - not just for more specialized purpose, but also to see the user-base expand," said Charkiewicz. "The whole underlying premise since day one has been to make it as intuitive and customizable as possible. Because of that flexibility, our customers use the software in ways we could not imagine. Furthermore, in being responsive to their needs, we have been able to evolve the software in an acutely customer-facing way. I think it is just as much a testament to the power of the software as it is to the ingenuity of the people who use it."
