⚡ Built for fab, weld & finishing shops

The shop that quotes first, wins the job.

QuoteForge reads the drawings your customers email you — messy PDFs and all — and turns them into an accurate, itemized quote in minutes. Not days.

No ERP migration. No consultants. Works with the inbox you already have.

The problem

Your best estimator is a person. And they're busy.

Every quote starts the same way: a PDF lands in the inbox, and it waits for the one person who can price it.

📥

Quotes die in the inbox

RFQs sit for 2–5 days while the owner walks the floor. By the time the number goes out, a faster shop already won the work.

🧠

Pricing lives in one head

Material, weld time, finishing passes — it's all tribal knowledge. When the estimator is out, quoting stops. When they retire, it's gone.

📉

Guesswork eats margin

Eyeballed quotes swing 30% either way. Too high loses the job; too low and you work a week for free. Nobody knows which until it's over.

How it works

Forward the email. Get a quote back.

Forward the RFQ

Send the customer's email — drawings, specs, napkin sketches — to your QuoteForge address. That's the whole integration.

AI breaks down the job

QuoteForge extracts dimensions, materials, weld lengths and finish specs, then prices against live material rates and your shop's real labor numbers.

Review, adjust, send

You get an itemized draft with a confidence score. Tweak margin, approve, and it's in your customer's inbox — same morning.
