Fast, Accurate, Consistent Cost Estimates and Quotes... Every Time!
A recent survey found that over 92% of all manufacturers develop cost estimates and quotes based primarily on experience alone.
The biggest challenges reported in the survey:
- Lack of consistency between estimators- 73%
- Poor quoting throughput- 67%
- Inaccurate cost estimates- 56%
“We were facing a lot of challenges in terms of consistency and efficiency of our quotes... Costimator has allowed us to maintain and enhance our targeted profit margins without increasing the burden on the customer. Win-win relationships are what you always hope for, and Costimator has certainly helped us in that regard.”

“While the increased accuracy helped us win new orders, overall, we’ve seen about a 30% increase in our turnaround times using this software. Faster response means happier customers and the ability for them to make decisions more quickly.”
- Rick Clark, Estimator, Detroit Tool Metal Products
