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.
