Description

CadVex is manufacturing estimating and quoting software designed specifically for CNC machine shops. Users can upload STEP files and supporting drawings, after which CadVex analyzes the geometry to identify manufacturable features, operations, and assumptions that contribute to the estimated cost. The resulting cost analysis provides editable details covering material and stock, scrap assumptions, setup and programming, machining operations, finishing, marking, inspection, outside operations, and other production requirements. Estimators can apply their own shop rates, batch sizes, cycle assumptions, quantity effects, margins, and commercial inputs while keeping the underlying manufacturing estimate visible. Built-in DFM analysis connects manufacturability findings to specific areas of the 3D model and provides information about their potential manufacturing impact and suggested changes. Once an estimate has been reviewed, CadVex can turn it into a customer-ready quote using the machine shop's own letterhead. Quote intelligence keeps commercial outcomes connected to estimating activity by tracking draft, sent, won, and lost quotes as well as open pipeline, won value, win rates, and customer performance. CadVex is available as both a Desktop application, where CAD files and analysis remain on the user's computer, and a Cloud version that performs analysis through CadVex Cloud without requiring a local installation. Both versions use the same interface and estimates, allowing shops to choose between local processing and cloud-based access based on their workflow and data requirements.

Description

QuoteBuddy is a cloud-driven quoting tool tailored for machine shops, job shops, and sheet-metal fabricators. This innovative application processes technical drawings submitted in formats such as PDF, PNG, or JPG, extracting essential details like dimensions, hole specifications, tolerances, material types, and part classifications. With shop-specific configurations for machines, materials, routing, hourly rates, and markups, it efficiently calculates production timelines and costs. Estimators benefit from the ability to verify the extracted data, modify pricing parameters, and produce a polished PDF quotation ready for customers. The system accommodates workflows for CNC milling and turning, along with cutting methods such as laser, waterjet, or plasma for sheet metal. Designed specifically for shop owners, estimators, and sales or technical personnel involved in quoting from customer-provided drawings, QuoteBuddy streamlines the quoting process. Users can take advantage of a free plan offering unlimited AI-generated quotes for a month, after which the limit reduces to three quotes per month. For those requiring more extensive use, paid monthly subscriptions begin at €149, allowing for up to 100 quotations monthly, with the option to save approximately 17% through annual billing. Moreover, the platform’s user-friendly interface and comprehensive features make it an invaluable asset for businesses aiming to enhance their quoting efficiency.
