The Manufacturing Reality: Speed Decides Who Wins the Order
In manufacturing, time isn’t just money it’s business.
When a potential client reaches out asking for a quotation or price estimate, they’re rarely waiting on one vendor. They’re usually contacting three, five, sometimes ten different suppliers at once.
The manufacturer who responds first with a professional, accurate, and clear proposal often wins the deal.
But here’s the problem:
Most manufacturing companies still rely on manual quoting systems, Excel sheets, and back-and-forth emails. By the time a quotation is prepared, reviewed, and sent, the client’s already placed the order elsewhere.
That’s exactly where QuickEst changes the game.
The Challenge: Manual Quoting Slows Down Every Manufacturing Sale
Let’s be honest most manufacturers face the same problems:
- Quotations are created manually using Excel or Word.
- Product pricing is spread across multiple sheets and emails.
- Approvals take time because teams aren’t on one system.
- Follow-ups get missed because there’s no proper tracking.
A small delay in any of these steps means a lost opportunity.
You might have the best machines, the most competitive pricing, and years of experience but if your response time is slow, you’re already behind.
In a world where buyers expect answers within hours, manual processes simply can’t compete.
