Discounts beyond a threshold need sign-off, and the reason is recorded against the quote. - **Documents that look like yours:** Branded quote templates with your terms, drawings and certificates attached, issued by email with acceptance tracked - including online acceptance where you want it. - **Chasing without a diary:** Automatic follow-ups before expiry, escalation for high-value quotes, and a clear list of what is outstanding rather than a personal spreadsheet per estimator. - **Estimate versus actual:** Once the job runs, actual material and labour are compared against the estimate. The next quote is informed by the last one instead of repeating its mistakes. ## Real-world use cases ### A quoting spreadsheet with a single owner **Scenario:** An engineering firm quoted from a spreadsheet built years earlier by an estimator who had since retired. Nobody was confident about the overhead assumptions inside it, and nobody wanted to be the one to change them. **Outcome:** Costing rules are now explicit, visible and maintained centrally. Three people can quote confidently, and the assumptions can be reviewed without archaeology. ### Winning the wrong work **Scenario:** A fabricator had a healthy win rate and disappointing profits. Analysis after the fact showed the quotes being won were consistently the ones where the estimate had been optimistic. **Outcome:** Estimate-versus-actual reporting made the pattern obvious within a quarter. Pricing on that product family was corrected, win rate fell slightly, and gross margin improved. ### Quotes that quietly expired **Scenario:** A supplier issued quotes and waited. Around a third were never followed up, because chasing depended on individuals remembering, and busy weeks meant nobody did. **Outcome:** Follow-ups now generate themselves before expiry and escalate by value. The recovered conversion on previously-lapsed quotes paid for the module several times over. ## Figures - **Live** Material and labour cost at quote time - **Every** Revision kept, with who changed what - **Actual** Cost compared back to the estimate ## Frequently asked questions **Can it quote configurable or made-to-order products?** Yes. Configurable products with options, dimensions and rules generate their own bill of materials and price, so a made-to-order item can be quoted accurately without an engineer being pulled off other work to do it. **Can we import prices from suppliers?** Yes - supplier price files can be imported on a schedule, with change reports so a 12% increase on a key raw material is noticed before it appears in a quote rather than after. **What happens when we win?** The quote converts to a sales order, and where relevant to a works order and purchase requisitions, in one action. Nothing is retyped, and the estimate stays attached for later comparison. **Can customers accept a quote online?** Yes. Quotes can be issued with an accept link, which records acceptance with a timestamp and converts the quote automatically. It removes the "I thought you had that in writing" conversation. **Do you support cost-plus and target pricing?** Both. You can price from cost with a margin rule, price to a target and see the resulting margin, or work backwards from a customer’s target price to find out whether the job is worth taking. ## Related solutions - **CRM Software** - Leads, opportunities and pipeline in the same system as the quotes, orders and invoices they turn into. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/crm-software/cambridgeshire/huntingdon - **Job Costing Software** - Know what every job actually cost - materials, labour, sub-contract and overhead - while it is running, not six weeks later. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/job-costing-software/cambridgeshire/huntingdon - **Manufacturing Software** - Bills of materials, works orders, routings, shop-floor booking and real job costing - for businesses that make things to order. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/cambridgeshire/huntingdon - **ERP Software** - One system for quotes, orders, stock, production, purchasing and invoicing - built in the UK for growing businesses. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/erp-software/cambridgeshire/huntingdon ## Elsewhere in Cambridgeshire See https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/quoting-software/cambridgeshire for quoting & estimating software across Cambridgeshire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
