Cloud-Based Quoting Tool Slashes Quote Time from Days to Minutes

"Spreadsheets are a thing of the past with the iQuoting cost calculation system from Lantek Sheetmetal Solutions," said a company spokesperson. "iQuoting, a Saas cloud app, fully automates the quoting process, eliminating spreadsheet management and streamlining workflow allowing sheet metal companies to generate and deliver quotes quickly and accurately. What once took hours or even days can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time, freeing up people to perform other important tasks. The ability to centralize all quoting information in one place, in a software system specially designed for the sheet metal industry, allows for a standardized quoting process for accurate and consistent quotes across all customer applications. This centralized approach also improves organization and ensures that all team members are on the same page, dramatically reducing errors."

iQuoting's advanced algorithms and mechanization strategies help generate quotes that reflect the true costs involved in a sheet metal process, eliminating guesstimates and subjective quoting. Quotes can be completed in five simple steps, all customizable to an organization's processes. After operators enter relevant customer information, parts can be loaded and defined either via drag and drop geometry files or without. DXF and DWG files can be imported in seconds. Automatic calculations, including cutting times and material consumption estimates are performed using Lantek's CAD/CAM engine. The pricing strategy is defined with discounts, surcharges, and additional costs applied automatically, and then sent to the customer.

Lantek's ERP, CAD/CAM and MES systems are fully integrated with full traceability at every stage of the process. The iQuoting system can track metrics such as quote-to-order conversation rates and areas for improvement that help companies make data-driven decisions to help improve efficiency and profitability.

Lantek's technology is designed to be open, enabling integration with other software and systems, delivering an interconnected experience intended to deliver valuable increases in efficiency, profitability, and connectivity.
