The parts list lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Bought-in parts on the quote, grouped by PO, with stock checked first.
Build hours are a guess.
Build and machining hours compared to what really happened.
Commissioning days run over, and nobody adds them up.
Site days tracked as site work, so the next quote is closer.
Add the model to a quote and Quotara lists every part with its size, counts the repeats, and weighs them from your material. Spin it in 3D right on the quote.
Sample part, real measurements
Every component on the quote rolls into the job’s materials, grouped by PO number. Log what is in stock and order only the shortfall.
Drop in the STEP assembly and every part is listed with its size and count.
Fabrication, machining and assembly estimates corrected by the hours really clocked on similar builds.
Mark install and commissioning as site work, and track them apart from shop time.
Laser cutting, coating and machining you send out, with their own markup, ordered on purchase orders with an expected date.
Send the accepted job to QuickBooks Online as an invoice. No re-keying.
Forward the RFQ with the layout and the model. Quinn drafts the build from your library and past jobs, adds commissioning as its own line, and lists what to ask before you send.
The free rate calculator works out your real hourly rate from your equipment, labour and overhead, and shows what you leave on the table today.

Yes. Every body in a STEP, IGES or STL file is listed with its size, repeats are counted, and each is weighed from the material you pick.
Yes. Mark it as site work. It stays marked on the work order and in job costing.
Drop in the spreadsheet or price list you quote from today and Quinn fills in your rates, showing where each number came from. Or send your files and Andrew, Quotara’s founder, sets up your shop for you, usually within one business day.
