## What is included

- **Live cost, not last year’s:** Material costs pulled from current supplier prices and stock valuation, labour from current rates, and overhead recovery applied by the rule you actually use.
- **Estimate from a bill of materials:** Price a multi-level assembly from its components and operations, including sub-contract, scrap allowance and set-up time, rather than from a guess based on something similar.
- **Versions and approvals:** Every revision kept, with what changed and who approved it. 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.
