Benefits of automated quoting
Use automation and digitalization as efficiency levers in your CNC machine shop and reduce the cost and effort of quoting.
Calculate costs and manufacturing times efficiently and win more profitable orders
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency in times of a shortage of skilled workers – the expectations for digital solutions in the manufacturing industry are high.
The automation of administrative tasks in particular offers valuable efficiency gains. Implementation here is often significantly easier than automating manufacturing itself. Quoting for turning and milling parts is such a process that costs contract manufacturers a lot of time and resources.
With Spanflug Make your machining company can apply a powerful tool to increase efficiency. By automating the quoting process, you can reduce this effort by up to 90% and create accurate quotes with just a few clicks, ready to be send to your customers.
How your company can benefit, too
Less effort and costs due to a high degree of automation
Spanflug MAKE achieves a significant efficiency advantage by automatically analyzing all data relevant for machining directly from the CAD file and the technical drawing. Manual data entry is no longer necessary and even employees without technical know-how can easily and reliably calculate customer quotes. Spanflug uses intelligent algorithms to analyze parts and calculate prices. But you, the user, are always in control. You can view and adjust information such as part properties, optimal machine selection, or manufacturing cost breakdown at any time.
Lean, efficient processes thanks to end-to-end digital solution
From CAD analysis to ready-to-send quote, Spanflug MAKE covers the entire quoting process in one digital solution. You can either generate a quote PDF from the calculated manufacturing times and costs, or export the results to your ERP system for further processing. This way, your quotes get to the customer faster and you increase your hit rate.
Save even more time and costs on complex parts
Does your company estimate manufacturing costs based on experience, struggle with complicated spreadsheets, or run expensive CAM simulations – only to end up reducing the margin to meet the customer’s target price? With Spanflug MAKE, you can calculate market-driven and transparent prices to ensure your long-term competitive position. Especially for complex parts, you can save time and money compared to conventional calculation methods, as shown in our use case.
Benefit from real-time prices for stocks and order them directly online
For almost all material groups, Spanflug MAKE calculates with daily updated prices from connected stock suppliers. You can then order these materials directly via Spanflug. This helps to reduce uncertainties and to achieve your calculated margins.
