Automated Quoting Software That Replaces Manual Estimation
Turn CAD files into accurate quotes in minutes. A system that standardizes your costing, protects your margins, and keeps running when your best estimator is out of the office.
Quotation Factory is a cloud-based manufacturing quoting platform founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands in 2018. It automates the full quoting workflow for metalworking manufacturers, from CAD file upload and geometry analysis to cost calculation, quote generation and ERP integration. The platform supports sheet metal, tube and profile cutting, CNC machining, surface treatment and assembly operations. It has processed over 281,000 quotes and serves more than 1,200 active users across Europe.
Trusted by metalworking teams across Europe and beyond
Manual quoting is costing you more than time.
Hours spent per quote when an estimator has to open files, calculate manually, and build a price from scratch
Days of average wait time customers experience before receiving a quote on complex parts
Person your entire pricing operation depends on when your senior estimator is the system
Every hour spent on manual estimation is an hour not spent on production. Every quote that takes three days is a customer who might not wait. And every business that runs on one person's knowledge is one resignation away from a serious problem.
What changes when quoting stops being manual.
Quotes take hours or days to prepare
Pricing depends on who picks up the job
Institutional knowledge lives in one person's head
From CAD file to finished quote in three steps.
Quoting logic built around how your factory actually works.
Quotation Factory is not a generic tool adapted for metal. Every calculation, every production route, every material match is built around the specific processes your team runs every day.
Accurate Quoting for Sheet Metal and Laser Cutting Operations
Automatic nesting, material optimization, bend deductions and laser cutting time estimates based on your actual setup. Every part calculated the same way, every time.
Contour and piercing analysis
Automatic sheet nesting
Bend and tooling calculations
Consistent pricing across jobs
Built to run the way your factory runs.
Quote in minutes, not days
Respond to every RFQ the same day. Your team handles more volume without adding headcount.
The same price, every time
Two estimators, one part, one price. Standardized costing logic means consistent output regardless of who is working.
Knowledge that outlasts your people
Your best estimator's logic becomes part of the system. It stays when they take time off, move on or retire.
No single point of failure
A business that runs on one person is fragile. A business that runs on a system is not.
Be first with an accurate answer
Customers choose the supplier who responds fastest with a number they can trust. That is now you.
Handle more without growing the team
Scale your quoting capacity without scaling your headcount. The platform does the repetitive work.

The questions manufacturers ask before making a decision.
No. The platform amplifies what your estimator does, it does not replace them. Routine parts and standard jobs run automatically so your estimator can focus on complex work that actually requires their judgment. The calculation logic is fully transparent. Your estimator sees exactly how every number is reached and can adjust the configuration at any time. Most estimators become the platform's biggest internal advocates once they see it in practice.
