Features

Manufacturing estimating, from imported BOM to professional proposal.

ManufactureQuote focuses on the quoting workflow: import rows, match the Library, finish costing, send a proposal, and reuse trusted knowledge next time.

Workflow

One estimating path, five clear steps.

Import BOM

Start from CSV or Excel exports.

Review matches

Confirm exact and suggested Library matches.

Cost the gaps

Finish unmatched rows and assumptions.

Send proposal

Share customer-facing scope and price.

Reuse knowledge

Make future quotes faster from confirmed work.

Bring CSV and Excel BOM rows into a quote workflow.

Upload exported rows, review recognised columns, then decide what enters the Draft quote. The importer helps reduce re-entry while keeping the estimator in control.

BOM import

✓CSV and Excel BOM exports
✓Column review before import
✓Exact, suggested, and no-match states
✓Draft quote import after review

Match against your company Library.

ManufactureQuote uses your own materials, parts/components, processes/labour, assemblies, and known names to help recognise repeated work.

Library matching

✓Reusable materials and parts
✓Processes and labour rates
✓Assemblies with child-level costing
✓Supplier and pricing knowledge kept internal

Complete costing before the proposal leaves the building.

Work through line items, quantities, rates, markup, totals, and margin awareness in one place. Rows that still need costing stay visible.

Quote costing

✓Line-item costing
✓Quantities and units
✓Markup and totals
✓Margin and readiness warnings

Send a professional proposal without exposing internal numbers.

Customer-facing proposals are separated from internal costing. Sent and accepted quote states preserve the commercial version used by the workflow.

Proposals and snapshots

✓Customer proposal view
✓Internal cost hidden
✓Accepted quote details preserved
✓Job sheet and actual-cost review use the accepted version

Locked when sent

Customer proposals show scope, quantities, and prices. Internal cost, supplier details, margin, and production notes stay private.

Customer-facing output

Professional proposals are built from the quote, not rebuilt somewhere else.

The estimator can review cost and margin internally while the customer receives only the scope and commercial price they need to decide.
