Estimating and Quoting
This module offers a significant benefit for custom manufacturers. It is fully integrated with the Order Entry and Work Order systems, which means that you can price based on cost for custom products.
You can use templates to quickly insert bills of material and routing, and modify them for new builds. The estimating software modules give you the flexibility you need to get a quote out to your customer, fast.
- Work from user configured templates
- Materials are costed either at standard or supplier costs
- Routings and operations are modified to generate labour and overhead costs
- Quote multiple quantities from a single estimate
- Apply margin % at materials, labour, and overhead portions
- Calculate selling price based on margin % or on a fixed price
- Multiple estimates can be pulled into the customer quotation
- Once a quotation is converted to a sales order, the work order can be generated based on the estimate

Sales Order Configurator
