Small CNC job shops and machine shops (5–50 people) that quote from drawings and RFQs.
About QuoteSooner
QuoteSooner is web-based quoting software for CNC job shops. Estimators can add customer drawings, 3D models, and RFQ text, then review extracted part details alongside the source page and excerpt supporting each value. The workflow flags missing, uncertain, or conflicting information for human review before a quote can be sent. Shops can configure machine and labor rates, compare estimates with prior pricing, and allocate setup costs across quantity breaks while keeping outside services and other charges separate. Teams can manage RFQs, prepare and send quotes from a connected shop email account, automate follow-ups, and let buyers review and accept quotes online, including entering a purchase order number. QuoteSooner supports QuickBooks Online and can import historical quotes from other systems. It is not an instant-quoting or CAM system, an ERP, or a tool for ITAR-controlled work.

QuotedPart
QuotedPart is autonomous AI quoting software for CNC machine shops, sheet metal shops and job shops, including Swiss and Davenport screw-machine work. An RFQ email, STEP or IGES model and PDF drawing come in; QuotedPart's AI reads the request, measures the model, reads the drawing, routes the part on the shop's own work centers and prices every quantity break at the shop's own rates. STEP + PDF to a priced quote takes under a minute. Shops can connect a Gmail or Outlook RFQ inbox (read-only): each RFQ becomes a priced draft quote that a person at the shop checks and sends; the buyer accepts with a PO. Prices come from the shop's own formulas, not from AI. Send to JobBOSS², CSV/Excel export, a public API and an official MCP server (io.github.Helios-One-Oy/quotedpart). Optional ITAR vault encrypts controlled parts in the browser. $399 per month per shop (the first 20 shops pay $199 and keep that price), unlimited users, 14-day free trial, no card.
