What is Quote?

The costing software dedicated to machining.

Quote is an online application that turns a request for quotation into a reliable industrial quote. From the client’s email, it extracts the requirements, determines the required raw-stock size, calculates cycle and setup times, selects the best manufacturing process and generates the quote. Designed for subcontracting SMEs, it makes costing accessible to the whole team, without relying on a single expert.

Why Quote?

Lost time, missed deals

Industrial costing weighs on your profitability on two fronts.

  • Operational time savings Without a dedicated tool, every quote ties up hours of your estimator — time taken away from the workshop and from business development.
  • Commercial responsiveness In subcontracting, the client signs with whoever replies first. Taking three days means handing the deal to a competitor.

The expertise that’s becoming scarce

Costing relies on a rare and fragile skill.

  • Resource availability Your estimator isn’t always there: holidays, sick leave, overload — and the whole quoting chain stops.
  • Rising turnover Industry is facing a wave of departures: retirements and job changes are draining costing skills, with no handover.

  • End-to-end flow through to invoicing Material, workshop, purchasing, real margins: the profitability of a job managed end to end.

*CTP — Capable To Promise: the ability to commit to a realistic delivery date, calculated from the load and production capacity actually available — as opposed to a theoretical date promised “blind”.
