See a quote come together.

Drop in the customer’s files, let CAS read the drawing, pick the strip layout it suggests and send the quote.

How it works

From RFQ to a quote you can defend.

The agent does the costing in minutes. Your estimators keep the judgement.

  1. 01

    Drop in the RFQ

    Drawings, scans, models, photos and spreadsheets, exactly as the customer sent them.

  2. 02

    The agent quotes it

    Parts and BOM, material and gross weight, operations, tonnage and machines, priced with your data.

  3. 03

    Review what matters

    A short list ranked by effect on price. Questions arrive with suggested answers, and you can tell the agent to change anything.

  4. 04

    Export and send

    Your own sheet format, with the margin kept internal.

Product

A quote that shows its working.

Source-linked

Every number opens to its source.

Click any figure to see where it came from: a region of the customer’s drawing, the strip layout the agent drew, a calculation, or your own rate. Assumptions are marked, so you know what to check before you send.

Layout suggestions

It lays out the part, then asks.

CAS unfolds the flat blank from the drawing and draws the strip layouts your tools can run: one-up, nested head to tail, rotated. Each shows material used, gross weight and cost per piece, with the best one preselected. Choose another and the quote reprices.

Your factory, your format

Priced on your factory, exported in your format.

Quotes use your machines, plant rates, in-house and outsourced processes, and costing policy. Corrections in chat become company notes the agent follows on every project. Export produces your own sheet, and the customer view keeps your cushion internal.

Use cases

A better working day. Across the factory.

One shared understanding of the job, from the first drawing to the quote you send.

FAQ

Built to fit the way you work.

What can I upload?

Drawings, scanned PDFs, photos, STEP and IGES models, DXF flat patterns, spreadsheets and ZIP packs. Keep the information in the form your customer supplied; the agent works through the files together.

Does it use our own machines and rates?

Yes. Your Factory profile holds machines, material prices, process rates and costing policy. You decide which operations you run in-house and which you outsource. Assumptions remain visible for review.

Can our estimator change the result?

Yes. Inspect the source behind a number, edit the cost sheet, or tell the agent what to change in chat. Review items flag questions that need your judgement before the quote is sent.

Can we keep our margin private?

Yes. Internal cost and customer pricing have separate views. Review the customer breakdown and export the customer workbook while keeping your internal cost build-up in the project.
