The problem
Every custom shop has the same quoting problem
Job shops run on tribal knowledge, gut instinct, and luck. It works — until it doesn't.
Your pricing lives in one person's head
When your best estimator retires or leaves, your institutional pricing knowledge walks out the door with them. Every shop has this problem. Almost none have solved it. That single point of failure is your most fragile business asset.
Every quote steals hours you don't have
Pulling dimensions, researching material costs, estimating setups, tallying machine time across six different operations — done manually, a single complex quote takes 2–4 hours. That's time you should be making things, not writing spreadsheets.
Complex jobs get priced by gut feel
When a job has eight processes, three materials, and two outside operations, most shops price it with intuition. Some you win and make money. Some you win and lose money. There's no way to know which until it's too late to do anything about it.
The platform
Everything you need to quote with confidence
Four modules that cover the full lifecycle — from building your pricing model to winning more of the right work.
Build your pricing model in minutes, not months
A guided wizard that walks you through labor rates, machine costs, overhead, and markup. No spreadsheets. No consultants. Just a professional rate card ready to power every quote you write — even if you've never formalized pricing before.
Upload a drawing. Get a full engineering analysis.
Drop in a STEP, DXF, or PDF. Our AI identifies every feature, flags DFM issues, lists required manufacturing processes, estimates material requirements, and produces a plain-English brief — like having a senior engineer do the first-pass review.
Multi-process quotes assembled in seconds
Select your processes, enter time estimates, and let PriceFab do the math. Every line item calculated against your rate card with overhead and markup applied consistently. No more copy-pasting between spreadsheets.
Find out what's actually making you money
Log outcomes on every quote you send. Track win rates by job type, customer, and process. AI surfaces the patterns you'd never find manually — which work is profitable, where you're underpricing, and which bids to walk away from.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
No implementation project. No data migration. No consultant required. You start with what you know and build from there.
Build your rate card
Use RateBuilder to set your labor rates, machine costs, overhead multiplier, and markup in one guided session. Your pricing model is ready in minutes — and it's yours, not locked in anyone's head.
Analyze the drawing
Upload a STEP, DXF, or PDF to DrawingBrief. The AI reads every feature, identifies required processes, flags manufacturability issues, and hands you a structured brief — before you've spent a minute on estimation.
Assemble your quote
Use your rate card and drawing brief to build a line-by-line quote. Every operation priced consistently against your real costs, with overhead and markup applied automatically.
Track and improve
Log outcomes on every quote you send. Over time, WinLens surfaces the patterns — which job types you win, where you're leaving money on the table, and what your most profitable work actually looks like.
