Manufacturing cost estimating is a process that must be completed both quickly and carefully. Customers often look to manufacturing companies for estimates before choosing a business with which to work. Customers often need their quotes as soon as possible for evaluation purposes. If you are late in submitting your quote, you could easily eliminate your company from consideration.

As the process of quoting determines the amount a customer will ultimately pay for your services, you don't want to submit a quote that is hurried. If you create a quote that does not accurately reflect the costs of your company's time, you could wind up with a quote that either comes in too high (in comparison to your competitors) or winds up reducing your profit margins. For quotes that are both fast and accurate, consider the use of cost estimating software developed here at Bowen & Groves.

The Quoting and Cost Estimating module is just one facet of our comprehensive M1 manufacturing software. This module allows you to save time when quoting by referring to previous estimates and bills of materials conveniently stored on the system. You can simply cut and paste relevant information into new quotes.

The system also allows you to modify percentages for margins and markups with ease. Once your quote is complete, you'll have a number of options for delivering the document in as speedy a manner as possible. The system can accommodate the automatic e-mailing, faxing or printing of finished estimates.
