solutions Efficient quoting ARE YOU BEING EFFICIENT WITH YOUR QUOTES? ARE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM REJECTED? DO YOU KNOW THE REASONS FOR THESE REJECTIONS? Javier Román, Product Manager The topic of this article is efficient quoting in the world of sheet metal cutting, above all, for clients that are subcontractors. First, we must clarify what a quote is. Broadly speaking, a quote is an attempt to predict the future and find out how much it will cost to make one or several pieces, when you will be able to deliver them, how much transportation will cost, and the final price to set so that the client accepts your offer and you still have a healthy profit margin. It can be quite a difficult balance to achieve. This means that companies need someone with many years of experience to be able to generate accurate quotes, especially when the manufacturing requirements are complex (low tolerances, high quality cutting, difficult folds, multiple secondary operations such as welding or assembly, etc.)
