Built for Every Role in
the Quoting Process
the Quoting Process
A single estimating platform that aligns every role around how parts are
actually made
actually made
Accurate Quoting is a Team Effort
For Shop Owners
Accurate quotes, protected margins, and confidence in every job you win
What You’re Dealing With:
- Quotes that look profitable but lose money in production
- Inconsistent margins across similar jobs
- Limited visibility into true manufacturing cost
How MicroEstimating Helps:
- Costs built from real machines, tooling, and processes
- True cycle-time-based estimating—not averages
- Manufacturing-aware logic that reduces pricing risk
Outcome:
You gain predictable margins, fewer surprises, and the confidence to scale without guessing
For Estimators & Sales Engineers
Quote faster without shortcuts and stand behind every number
What You’re Dealing With:
- Time pressure to respond quickly to RFQs
- Manual feature breakdowns and guesswork
- Difficulty explaining or defending quoted costs
How MicroEstimating Helps:
- Automatic feature recognition directly from CAD
- Virtual machining using real machines and tooling
- True cycle time and cost calculation built into every estimate
Outcome:
You respond faster with quotes you can clearly explain, justify, and defend
For Machinists & Engineers
Estimates that reflect how parts are actually made
What You’re Dealing With:
- Quotes that don’t match shop-floor reality
- Missed setup time, tooling constraints, or process complexity
- Friction between estimating and production
How MicroEstimating Helps:
- Manufacturing-aware logic that understands setups and operations
- Client-specific machines, tooling, speeds, and materials
- Estimates built from real machining behavior—not assumptions
Outcome:
Jobs arrive on the floor with fewer surprises and better alignment between planning and production
