§ Why Quotara

Why small shops choose Quotara.

01

One price for the whole crew

ProShop bases its pricing on users. Quotara is priced by the shop, so putting another machinist on the floor tablet does not change your bill until you outgrow your plan.

02

Built for commercial custom work

Quote it, schedule it, build it, track the hours and see whether it made money. The tools a commercial job shop uses every day, without the quality-system modules it does not need.

03

Simple on the floor

Put a tablet at the machines. Each person picks their name, sees their own jobs in the order you set, and clocks time to the job. The crew board shows who is on what and when it lands.

§ Questions

Common questions.

Can Quotara replace ProShop?

For commercial custom shops, yes: Quotara covers quoting, work orders, scheduling, floor time, purchasing, inventory and job costing. If you need a built-in quality management system for AS9100 or ISO 13485 certification, ProShop is built for that work and Quotara is not.

How is Quotara priced compared with ProShop?

ProShop bases its pricing on users and sends a customized proposal. Quotara’s plans are published at CA$79 to CA$599 a month (US$59 to US$450 a month), one flat price for the shop.

Can my crew use Quotara on the shop floor?

Yes. Put a tablet at the machines. Each person picks their name, sees their own jobs in order, and clocks time to the job they are on. Those hours feed straight into job costing.
