FastCAM Quote Everything Database
FastCAM QE will improve the quotation process for steel fabricators and service centers


As a direct response to Steel Service Centers needs, FastCAM has developed the FastCAM® Quote Everything Database, a flexible and configurable quoting and sales system. Some manufacture-based systems offer quotation systems however they are usually production-centric, aimed at helping 'assemblers' track the progress of orders. Our system is sales-centric and has been designed for optimizing and managing the quotation process. Producing the best cut price instantly and consistently so you can win more work.

NESTING AND QUOTE DATABASE FOR METAL PROFILERS

FastCAM® QETM is a multi-user, comprehensive quotation database which offers accurate, nested, optimized quotations for ALL processed parts with full graphics. For sawing, shearing and burning needs, FastCAM® QETM will create quotes with accurate calculation of tonnage, remnant, scrap and all costs related to the job.

Our fast optimized quote system is a proven integral part of an overall 'faster to market' business approach. The cost attributed to poor quoting is substantial for any business including service centers. Not only is FastCAM® QETM consistent and accurate, parts are nested onto available stock including remnant stock, providing a 'best cost' quotation. Optimization for us is getting the greatest possible yield from material by trying millions of computer generated layouts. It is also about correctly identifying what is remnant which can be resold and what is scrap which is waste and must be charged to the job.

Users can simply and quickly prepare quotations for plate and structural products for all brands of burning machines, Oxy-fuel, plasma, laser or Water-jets. The software contains a comprehensive library of common parts and sections that can be selected; basic dimensions are entered with material type, thickness and quantities. Alternatively, customer supplied DXF files can used instantly. The laborious job of creating and costing a Bill of Materials is also automated. No more re-keying, just import and quote!

Customers can be faxed or emailed directly from the desktop and the integrated SQL database tracks all quotations. Output can even be used directly in CAM systems for processing. Quotations can be marked as won, lost or pending. The powerful reporting features are extremely useful for sales managers, production planners and estimators. Open standards design allows for the system to be integrated into upstream ERP systems and downstream to production. A solution to grow with you while providing the crucial sales, costing and profit data you need right now.
