Faster quotes

Rules and history shorten the work.

Consistent pricing

One set of rules.

More follow-up

Owners and dates on open quotes.

No retyping

A yes becomes a job.

Quotes are priced from your own materials, routings and margins, every revision is kept, and an accepted quote becomes an order and a job without retyping. Estimators always approve the final number.

01

Pricing from rules your estimators agree on

We turn the spreadsheet one estimator understands into shared rules: material, labor by operation, outside processing, setup and margin. Any line can be adjusted, with the reason kept.

  • Material and cut lists
  • Labor by work center
  • Outside processing and freight
  • Quantity breaks and margins
02

Quote history and repeat parts

Every revision is stored with its drawings and notes. Repeat parts start from the last quote and the actual job cost.

What quote-to-order software looks like day to day

Illustrative scenarios, not client stories.

A custom fabricator in Carrollton

Picture an estimator quoting twenty parts a week. Repeat parts are priced in minutes, and Friday's open-quote list tells sales who to call.
