Client Testimonials

Costimator is an integral part of our best-in-class technologies. We use the system to estimate the time and cost to manufacture precision-engineered components and assemblies for aerospace, power generation, defense and other advanced technology industries. We require estimating software that is easy to use and works in every facet of our operations; from fabrication to five-axis machining. Our engineers working along with process technicians and toolmakers rely on Costimator’s speed, accuracy, and consistency to win orders and ensure profitability.”

- Dave Cybart, Engineering and Tooling Manager, Rich Technology Intnl.

At The Will-Burt Company, the key to winning new business is quick response to our customers’ requests for quote. Through the years, Costimator has been our answer for providing quick, accurate quotes with a relatively small group of estimators. Missing important details on an estimate is a hazard when working quickly, but Costimator’s IQ Builder elements have allowed us to automate some of our repetitive operations. We’re also excited about further improving our turnaround with the Cost Modeler feature now available.”

- Kevin Baldwin, Process Engineering Supervisor, The Will-Burt Company

We have been using Costimator for over 5 years here at Westwood Machine & Tool Co. and when it comes to quoting jobs that require large quantities, Costimator is a real time saver for us. We have more time to review each estimate and more time for new estimates.”

- Jerry Crenshaw, Estimator, Westwood Machine & Tool Co.

"The main purpose of using Costimator is to understand what your costs are and what they should be. Once you understand that, you are in a good position to achieve those costs. Knowing what you should be paying when you go into a negotiation gives you a lot of strength."

- John Kagan, Manufacturing Engineering Manager, Lenovo

"When a customer sends us a part drawing, we can make an estimate with Costimator, play 'what if' and make appropriate recommendations on material and design. We can show how engineering changes will affect cost. That kind of speed combined with the reliability of a computerized quote...makes Costimator an important member of our sales team."

- Wayne Carroll, President, Carroll Machine

"Costimator has been a very large part of Jabil's quoting process since being purchased in 2003. It is currently being utilized in the Americas to respond quickly to request for quotes, to provide target pricing to suppliers and validate quotes received from the supply base. Ultimately, this tool will be utilized globally allowing us to estimate accurately and rapidly within each region."

- Kristen Housley, Cost Estimator, Jabil Circuits

"Since the installation of the Costimator system, we have become master machine shop estimators! It was quite easy even for an individual whom had absolutely no hands on experience in machining. The set up and installation time was inconsequential and now we are reaping the benefits with increased profits! Hats off to MTI for providing a superior product and excellent support as well, keep up the good work guys!"

- Teri Lerew, President, Aerofab

"Contract bidding and the art of fast and accurate cost estimating are more crucial to a company's profitability now than ever before. We rely heavily on our Costimator® computer-aided cost estimating (CACE) system to produce accurate bids for competing effectively."
