Your customer calculates their own price — you only check it
Every job has to be calculated, so half a day a day disappears into Excel. If a customer asks for three variants, that work starts over — and by the time the price is ready, they have ordered elsewhere.
- Upload a DXF: outer size, cutting length and hole count are read from it
- A price with its breakdown: material, machine time, bends, setup
- Immediately shows what happens at ten, fifty or a hundred pieces
- Change requested? A new version, with the previous one kept exactly
- Customers follow production from preparation to ready to ship
- You adjust material prices and cutting speeds yourself
We build a portal where your customer uploads their DXF and sees a price immediately: material by weight, cutting time against your hourly rate, bends, finishing and setup. The breakdown is shown, so prices get discussed instead of haggled over.
The second part is less visible but just as expensive. The "where is my job?" call comes in ten times a day, and each time someone walks to the shop floor. As soon as your customer sees the stage themselves, that conversation disappears.
We build the calculation rules around how you calculate, and afterwards you adjust them yourself. Steel prices move every month; you should not have to call us for that.
What people usually ask first
What does quotation software for a laser cutting company cost?
With us, from €14,500 one-off, plus €450 a month for maintenance and hosting. That amount is negotiable and depends on how much needs building.
Do the sum yourself. A quote calculated by hand easily takes twenty minutes. Make fifteen a week and that is five hours — half a working day, every week, on work that earns nothing until the customer says yes.
What you get is software that is yours: no user licences that grow with your headcount, and no subscription you can never leave. After a twenty-minute call you get a fixed price.
Can my customer calculate their own price from a DXF file?
Yes, and that is the whole point. Your customer uploads their DXF and the portal reads the outer size, the cutting length and the number of pierces from it. They pick material, thickness, finish and quantity, and see their price with the breakdown: material, machine time, bends, setup.
What that changes about your day: the question "roughly what does this cost?" no longer lands on your desk. What reaches you is a request from someone who has already seen the price and wants to go ahead anyway.
The calculation rules stay yours. You adjust material prices, cutting speeds and margins yourself.
Do I need a CAD/CAM or ERP package for this?
No. That is exactly the difference with the existing packages. Lantek, Quotation Factory and Oroox are powerful systems, but they assume you move your whole work preparation into them: nesting, machine control, production planning, per-user licences.
For a company with a few machines and two people in the back office that is a months-long project, and you pay for ninety percent you never touch.
The quotation portal does one thing: from drawing to price to order, with the customer involved. Your existing way of working stays. If your work preparation runs on Lantek, it keeps running on Lantek — this sits in front of it, on the customer side, where there is nothing today.
What does that cost you today?
Tick what still runs by hand and set the numbers to match your situation. Everything recalculates as you type.
All amounts are indicative and calculated with the figures you entered yourself. A real price follows after one conversation in which we look at your actual situation — that conversation is free.
