Solution plan
Review sample quotes, define rules and exceptions, sketch the screens and agree on scope and a development estimate. You can commission the plan on its own.
You know what will be built and how we will verify the calculations.
CUSTOM QUOTING SOFTWAREFrom material costs
From material costs
to a customer quote.
I build applications that bring material costs, processing and your pricing rules into one calculation. For metal fabricators, machine shops and material suppliers.
Describe how you quote todayStart with one product or service group. The initial enquiry is free.
WHEN THIS BECOMES USEFUL
Material cost calculated. What comes next?
You copy the calculator result into a spreadsheet. Add cutting, bending or welding, machine setup and margin. Then transfer the price into a customer document. When the quantity changes, you revisit several places to check what needs recalculating.
An application can bring those rules together. Your colleague enters the job details, checks the cost breakdown and prepares a quote from the same data. First, we check whether improving your spreadsheet or configuring existing software would be enough.
THE FIRST VERSION
The complete quote for one type of job.
An example scope: a batch of sheet metal parts, including material, cutting and bending. We choose a recurring task in your business and define its rules, including the exceptions.
StageWhat we define in the applicationWhat your team gets
01Material
What we define in the applicationGrade, dimensions, quantity and price list. An agreed allowance for waste, extra stock or manually entered consumption.
What your team getsMaterial cost for the whole job and the source of the rate used.
02Processing
What we define in the applicationSelected operations, rates and setup. Time entered by your team or calculated using an agreed rule.
What your team getsSeparate operation and setup costs, with the assumptions visible.
03Selling price
What we define in the applicationMargin or markup, minimum order value, discounts and rules for manual adjustments.
What your team getsA unit price and total, with a calculation that can be checked.
04Quotation
What we define in the applicationLine items, lead time, quote validity and document template. Save the data and export, for example, to PDF.
What your team getsA customer document without entering the line items again.
This is a proposed scope to agree together, not an existing product screen or a client case study.
Reliable rules matter more than another form.
Margin or markup?
These are different calculations. We establish which method you use and its cost basis, along with rounding, minimum order values and discounts.
Where does processing time come from?
If a production specialist estimates it today, the first version can keep that step. Estimating time automatically from a drawing requires a separate assessment.
What happens when the price list changes?
We define how to retain the rates used in a sent quote and when to recalculate a new one. Updating the price list should not silently change previous quotations.
CAD drawing recognition, nesting optimisation, production scheduling and full ERP integration are not included by default. Feasibility and pricing for these extensions are agreed separately.
Plan first. Then decide on development.
First application version
from €4,300 excl. VAT
Build the agreed scope, check the results against your reference cases and launch the application. You approve the price and timeline before work starts.
Your team can prepare a quote for the agreed type of job.
Planning and development are charged separately, starting at €5,150 combined, excluding VAT. The plan is not automatically deducted from development costs. Maintenance, further development and third-party services are quoted separately. Prices are in euros; the proposal confirms taxes and payment terms.

More about me
What do you add after calculating material costs?
Tell me what you quote, which software you use and which steps you repeat manually. A short description is enough to start. If a sample spreadsheet or quote would help, we can arrange to share one without customer information.
I’ll reply with questions and a suggested next step. An enquiry does not commit you to buying a plan.
