Core Platform: Your Full Quoting Operation in One System
From the first CAD file upload to the finished quotation document, every step runs automatically. Your machines, your materials, your pricing rules. All in one connected system.
The Quotation Factory Core Platform is the central engine of the Quotation Factory product suite. It processes CAD files in 30+ formats, calculates manufacturing costs using a digital model of your factory, manages RFQs, configures pricing rules per customer segment and generates ready-to-send quotations automatically.
Trusted by metalworking teams across Europe and beyond
One system, connected from intake to output.
The Core Platform is the engine behind every quote. It reads your CAD files, understands the geometry, matches your materials, selects the right machines, calculates production times and generates a ready-to-send quotation. No manual input required between upload and output.
Upload Production Files
CAD files, technical drawings and RFQs come in through one centralized intake. STEP, DXF, DWG, DSTV, NC1 and 30+ other formats supported out of the box.
Automatic Cost Calculation
Material costs, machine times, tooling requirements and operational expenses are calculated instantly using your actual factory configuration, not generic estimates.
Requirement Analysis
The platform reads geometry, extracts tolerances and GD&T from drawings, detects manufacturing features and determines the correct production route for every part automatically.
Workflow Synchronization
Quote data flows into your ERP as a manufacturing BOM and into your CAM software as machine instructions. One input, zero re-entry.
Connect manufacturing systems without operational friction
Disconnected workflows slow production teams down. Core Platform connects the systems manufacturers already use to automate data flow and maintain consistency across operations.
Synchronized data flow
Automatically sync production data across ERP, CAM and manufacturing systems instantly.
Reduced manual workload
Eliminate repetitive tasks and improve coordination between production and operations teams.
Consistent pricing logic
Maintain uniform costing and pricing across all quotes and production workflows.
Operational visibility
Gain real-time insight into workflows, production status and system performance.
Built around real manufacturing workflows.
Automated Quoting
Generate accurate quotes instantly using automated machining calculations, nesting logic and production costing rules calibrated to your specific factory.
Virtual Factory Model
Define every machine with its real constraints, tolerances and operating costs. The platform only assigns work to equipment that can actually handle the job.
RFQ Management
Organize incoming requests, track quote status and prioritize production opportunities from one centralized dashboard. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Pricing Strategy Engine
Set surcharges, discounts, customer segment strategies and cost-to-sales ratios. Support multiple currencies with live exchange rates. Every quote follows your rules, consistently.
Material Catalog
Import your full article catalog with purchasing prices at different quantity thresholds. The platform matches customer requests to your available materials automatically across international standards.
Business Logic Codification
Turn the knowledge in your estimators' heads into system rules: material assignment logic, nesting strategies, remnant management, auto-quote triggers. It runs at 2 AM the same as 2 PM.
Your quoting operation, running on a system instead of people.
Most teams are fully operational within one month. The first quote runs on day one.

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.
