Enquiry to quote
Drawings, emails, supplier notes, and BOM rows become one controlled estimate.
Built for manufacturers who quote custom work
Stop turning every custom job into another fragile spreadsheet.
ManufactureQuote gives small manufacturing teams a controlled path from enquiry to quote, proposal, job sheet, and actual-cost review.

Why teams switch
Because quoting pain usually shows up after the quote is already sent.
The product story is not BOM import for its own sake. It is fewer missed costs, fewer stale versions, fewer retyped lines, and a clearer handoff to production.
No more mystery spreadsheet versions
Draft, sent, and accepted quotes each have a clear state.
Workshop handoff is built in
Production works from the accepted version, not a detached copy.
1
The spreadsheet total looks right, but nobody knows which rates were used.
ManufactureQuote keeps the quote, rates, margin checks, sent proposal, and accepted snapshot connected.
2
The customer approves one thing, then the workshop receives another copy.
Accepted quotes produce a controlled job sheet from the frozen customer-approved version.
3
Repeat parts still get retyped and re-costed every time.
Library items, processes, assemblies, and previous work give estimators a faster starting point.
4
BOM exports arrive messy, incomplete, or named differently every time.
Import review separates exact matches, suggested matches, warnings, and rows that still need costing.
Workflow
Built for the jobs that never arrive perfectly packaged.
One-off fabrication, machining, subcontract work, installs, assemblies, repairs, and repeat jobs all need the same discipline: clear scope, current costs, controlled proposals, and a production handoff.
01
Capture the enquiry
Start from a customer request, a spreadsheet, a takeoff, or a BOM export.
02
Check what you know
Match repeat items against your Library and keep unknown rows visible.
03
Finish the costing
Price materials, components, labour, assemblies, subcontract work, and freight in one quote.
04
Send the right version
Freeze the proposal the customer sees, without exposing internal costs.
05
Learn after the job
Use the accepted job sheet and actuals review to improve the next quote.
BOM review
Imported rows are checked before they affect the quote or Library.
Accepted job sheet
Production works from the accepted snapshot, not a live mutable draft.
Product proof
See what is trusted, suggested, and still needs costing before it reaches the quote.
The review step keeps the estimator in control. Exact matches can move quickly, suggested matches need confirmation, and unmatched rows stay visible until they are costed.
Representative workflow, not a customer screenshot.

Core outcomes
A quoting system for margin, consistency, and reuse.
The product stays focused on quoting. It is not a stock system, buying workflow, factory calendar, design-file interpreter, automated estimator, or accounts-sync platform.
Reduce re-entry
Bring exported BOM rows into a quote workflow instead of typing every line again.
Reuse costing knowledge
Build a Library of materials, parts, processes, assemblies, and patterns your team can quote from.
Protect margin
Keep costs, markup, totals, and warnings visible before a quote reaches the customer.
Standardise estimating
Give repeat work, custom jobs, and assemblies the same controlled quote process.

Commercial view
Customer proposals show scope, quantities, and prices. Internal cost, supplier details, margin, and production notes stay private.
Quotes and proposals
Keep internal costing and customer proposals clearly separated.
Estimators can work with line-item costs, quantities, markup, totals, and margin awareness. Customers receive a clean proposal with the agreed scope and price.
Line-item costing and totals stay visible while building the quote.
Sent and accepted versions preserve the agreed commercial state.
Public proposals exclude internal cost, margin, markup, supplier refs, and production notes.
Trust and security
Commercial quoting data needs calm, controlled software.
ManufactureQuote uses real product protections rather than invented badges or unsupported claims.
Company data separation
Application data is scoped by company so teams work inside their own quoting environment.
Private internal numbers
Customer proposals do not expose internal cost, margin, markup, supplier references, or production notes.
Accepted quote snapshots
Accepted quote details preserve the version the customer agreed to for job sheets and actual-cost review.
Secure hosted application
Users sign in to a hosted application with protected routes and server-side checks for sensitive workflows.
