The problem

Every custom shop has the same quoting problem.

01

Your pricing lives in one person's head

When your best estimator retires or leaves, your institutional pricing knowledge walks out with them. Every shop has this problem. Almost none have fixed it. That single point of failure is your most fragile business asset.

02

Every quote steals hours you don't have

Pulling dimensions, researching material costs, estimating setups, tallying machine time across six operations — a single complex quote takes 2–4 hours done manually. That's time you should be making things, not writing spreadsheets.

03

Complex jobs get priced by gut feel

When a job has eight processes, three materials, and two outside operations, most shops price it with intuition. Some you win and make money. Some you win and lose money. There's no way to know which until it's too late.

The platform

Quote a complex job in 12 minutes. Not 4 hours.
