Calibrated Quote gives discrete manufacturers a purpose-built pricing engine for complex, multi-level assemblies — with automated cost rollups, multi-year contract support, and 100% auditability on every cost and rate.
Handles any assembly type — not just one niche
Most manufacturing quoting software is built for a single niche — metal fabricators or circuit board assemblers. If your shop builds complex, mixed assemblies, you've been left without a real option. Until now.
Calibrated Quote automates the tedious parts of pricing so your team can focus on the decisions that actually matter, not the manual calculations.
Upload your bill of materials from a spreadsheet. Multi-level hierarchies and quantity breaks are handled automatically.
Automatically retrieve distributor pricing from DigiKey and Mouser where available, then obtain supplier quotes for the rest. Compare costs across sources with full unit conversion and MOQ analysis.
Import labor estimates for manufactured parts, broken down by work center. Pull from global standards or customize per-quote for special jobs.
Material costs, labor hours, overhead, and markups calculate across every line item and quantity break — no formulas to maintain.
Use goal-seek pricing, compare supplier quotes, pull part history from past quotes, and adjust rates until the numbers are right.
Lock the final version with a full audit trail. Every assumption, every rate, every cost is documented and defensible.
You're quoting multi-level assemblies with hundreds of line items, multiple quantity breaks, labor standards, material escalation, and supplier pricing — all in Excel. Something always breaks.
Complex BOMs with quantity breaks and supplier comparisons take days to price. Every revision means re-doing the math by hand.
A mislinked cell, a forgotten markup, a stale material cost — one small mistake in a spreadsheet can cost you thousands on a contract.
Your best estimator's pricing logic lives in their head and their personal spreadsheet. When they leave, the knowledge goes with them.
A complete pricing engine designed for the way manufacturers actually work.
Import and manage complex bills of materials with parent-child hierarchies. Supports hundreds of line items across multiple quantity breaks.
Material, labor, overhead, G&A, and profit roll up automatically from the BOM level to the quote total. Change a rate, everything recalculates.
Define run hours by part, by work center, by quantity tier. Pull from global standards or override per-quote for special jobs.
Automatically selects the lowest-cost supplier quote for each BOM item with full unit conversion and MOQ analysis. Override any selection manually.
Pull real-time pricing and availability from DigiKey and Mouser directly into your BOM — no more manual lookups. More distributor integrations coming soon.
Build pricing models for multi-year contracts and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) solicitations. Apply different rates by year, compound material escalation, and see the full cost impact across contract periods before you commit.
Quote RFPs where all lines are awarded together or not at all. Shared parts automatically pool quantities across lines to capture volume pricing, and setup costs amortize across the full award — giving you more competitive and accurate per-unit costs at every line and assembly level.
Set your target price and let the system back-calculate the profit margin needed — or find where to trim cost to hit a competitive number.
Lock approved quotes to prevent changes. Full history of who locked, unlocked, and modified every version.
Admins, estimators, and viewers each see what they need. Control who can edit rates, lock quotes, and manage users.
Instantly see how you've priced any part on previous quotes and whether that quote was won or lost — no more digging through old files.
Calibrated Quote is designed for discrete manufacturers who quote complex parts and assemblies — regardless of industry or whether you build to order or build your own products.
Build quotes faster with structured BOMs, automated rollups, and supplier price comparison — instead of wrestling with spreadsheets.
Review and approve quotes with full visibility into cost breakdowns, labor assumptions, and margin targets before submission.
Standardize your quoting process across your team. Stop losing institutional knowledge when people move on.
Manage supplier quotes, track lead times, and feed real procurement data directly into the pricing engine.
Built by an engineer with over 30 years of experience in manufacturing and proposals — someone who's lived the pain of pricing complex assemblies in spreadsheets and built a better way.
Calibrated Quote efficiently and accurately handles even the largest BOMs with multiple levels of indenture, while maintaining 100% auditability across every line item, every rate, and every version.
