A quote takes three days and two experts.
Your technical files and bills of materials become a configurator: costings come out in hours, with the same rules for everyone.
01 · The situation
“When the two people who know how to cost a job are on holiday, we just don’t reply.”
02 · What it costs you today
Costing that takes three days loses you business: the jobs you turn down for lack of time, and the ones you win at a price that doesn’t reflect what the shop floor actually spends.
This isn’t an IT cost, it’s a commercial one — and it grows with the order book.
03 · What we deliver
What it is
- A configurator that costs jobs from your bills of materials and your standard times
- Your engineering department’s rules written down once, applied by everyone
- The quote produced with its full breakdown, defensible internally
- Variances between quoted and actual fed back as they arise
What it is not
- An ERP
- A CRM tool
- An online catalogue
- A generic pricing engine
04 · The first step
Scoping
One family of jobs, costed by the machine
Two days on your premises, with the people who do the costing. We take a representative family of jobs, write down its rules and replay your latest quotes against them.
Duration
2 to 3 weeks, including 2 days on site
Deliverable
The written scope and its price
Scope
1 family of jobs
Preceded by a free thirty-minute call. The price of scoping is stated before we start; the fixed price of the first increment is given once scoping is complete.
05 · What comes next
Further families are added increment by increment. We then maintain the rules as your product ranges and costs change.

07 · The questions we are asked
“Every one of our jobs is different.”
Everyone says so, and it’s true at the margins. Scoping measures the share that repeats: that is what we build tooling for, and the rest stays manual.
“Our rules aren’t written down anywhere.”
They’re in two people’s heads. Writing them down is most of the work, and it’s what you are paying for.
