The challenge

Why job shop quoting is uniquely difficult

Every job is different

Job shops thrive on variety, but variety kills quoting efficiency. You can't template your way through custom work when every RFQ brings a different combination of materials, processes, and complexity. Spreadsheets break down when the work is this diverse.

Multiple fabrication processes in one quote

A single customer quote might include laser cut parts, plasma cut plate, formed components, welded assemblies, and powder coating. Most quoting tools handle one process well and the rest poorly. You need software that covers your full range of capabilities.

Speed vs. accuracy tradeoff

Customers expect quotes fast, especially on custom work. But rushing a quote means guessing on costs, and guessing means either losing the job by pricing too high or losing money by pricing too low. The shops that win are the ones that quote quickly and accurately.

Repeat orders with changing prices

Regular customers want consistent pricing on repeat work, but your material costs change monthly. You need to quickly re-quote existing jobs with current material prices without rebuilding the entire estimate from scratch every time.

The solution

One quoting system for your entire job shop

Accuracy Quoting was designed for shops that do more than one thing. Whether you're cutting, forming, welding, or assembling, the software gives every estimator in your shop a consistent way to build accurate quotes for any job that walks through the door.

Handle any job type from one platform

Flat parts with DXF analysis, weldment assemblies with structural steel components, formed parts with bend operations, and complete projects with sub-assemblies. Add manual line items for anything outside the standard workflow. One tool handles the full variety of custom fabrication work.

  • DXF-based flat part quoting with auto-extraction
  • Weldment and assembly builder
  • Secondary operations (forming, coating, hardware)
  • Manual parts for non-standard items

Customer management and repeat orders

Build a customer database with contact information, quote history, and pricing patterns. When a repeat customer sends the same job, pull up the previous quote, update material prices to current rates, and send a revised quote in minutes instead of starting from zero.

  • Full customer database with history
  • Clone and revise previous quotes
  • Updated material pricing on re-quotes
  • Customer-specific markup and pricing rules

Key features

Built for the demands of custom fabrication shops

Quick turnaround quoting

DXF auto-extraction, saved material prices, and configured machine rates mean you build quotes in minutes, not hours. Respond to RFQs faster than your competition and win more work.

Consistent pricing across your team

Set up materials, machine rates, and markup rules centrally. Whether your senior estimator or your newest team member builds the quote, the pricing comes out right. No more pricing discrepancies between estimators.

Multiple machine support

Configure each machine in your shop with its own rates and capabilities. Laser, plasma, press brake, welding stations. Select the right machine for each operation and the quote reflects that machine's actual costs.

Quote to work order workflow

When a customer approves a quote, convert it to a work order with one click. Job details, part files, and quantities carry over. Track production status and generate packing slips when the job ships.

Margin tracking per job

Know your estimated margin before you send the quote. Track actual margins after the job is complete. Over time, build a clear picture of which job types, customers, and processes drive your profitability.

Professional branded quotes

Generate clean PDF quotes with your company branding, line item pricing, part images, and terms. Send quotes that customers take seriously and that reflect the quality of your shop.

How it works

From RFQ to quote in three steps

1. Build the quote

Select a customer, add parts using DXF upload or manual entry, choose materials and processes. The system calculates material costs, cut times, and machine costs automatically. Add secondary operations as needed.

2. Review your margins

See the complete cost breakdown and your estimated margin before sending anything. Adjust quantities, markup, or operations until the quote is competitive and profitable. Every cost is transparent and configurable.

3. Send and track

Generate a professional PDF and deliver it to your customer. Track the quote status. When approved, convert to a work order and follow the job through production. All from one platform.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about job shop quoting

Yes. Accuracy Quoting supports flat parts via DXF analysis, weldment assemblies with structural components, secondary operations like forming and coating, and manual line items for anything non-standard. Most job shops find that the combination of these part types covers their full range of work. If a job doesn't fit neatly into the DXF workflow, the manual part entry gives you the flexibility to quote it anyway.

A straightforward flat part with a DXF file can be quoted in under two minutes. Upload the DXF, select material and thickness, review the auto-calculated costs, and generate the PDF. Multi-part quotes and assemblies take longer, but the automated calculations save significant time compared to spreadsheet-based quoting. Shops that switch typically report cutting their quoting time by 50% or more.

Absolutely. Accuracy Quoting is cloud-based, so your team can access it from any computer with a browser. Multiple estimators can build quotes simultaneously. Materials, machine rates, and customer data are shared, so everyone works from the same pricing foundation. Role-based access controls let you decide who can change settings versus who just builds quotes.

Every quote is saved with its customer and full part details. When a repeat order comes in, find the original quote, clone it, and the new quote inherits all the part data. Material prices update to current rates automatically, so the customer gets consistent pricing that reflects today's costs. This is especially valuable for job shops with regular customers who order the same parts monthly or quarterly.

No. While the DXF analysis feature is particularly powerful for laser and plasma cutting, the software handles the full range of fabrication work. You can quote forming, welding, assembly, hardware insertion, coating, and any other process your shop performs. The manual part entry and additional operations features ensure you can quote jobs that don't involve any cutting at all.

The 5-day free trial gives you full access to every feature. Set up your materials, configure your machines, add customers, and build real quotes. No credit card required to start. If the software saves you time and helps you quote more accurately during the trial, you can subscribe and keep everything you've set up.
