Quoting instantly means finally having the data

When quoting happens by e-mail, the enquiries that never became orders leave no trace. When it happens in a widget, every one of them is a measurement: what was asked for, what it was priced at, and where the buyer stopped.

The funnel

Where quoting stops being quoting

Parts analysed, prices shown, quote requests, quotes saved, manual quote requests and orders placed - as counts. A big drop between “price shown” and “quote saved” is a pricing conversation. A pile of failed analyses, under operations, is a file-format conversation. They need different fixes and the numbers tell you which one you have.

Demand

What your market actually wants

Materials and options

Which materials, colours and finishes buyers choose, and how often.

Oversize attempts

How many parts arrived too big for any machine you have - useful when you are deciding which machine to buy next.

DFM findings

Manufacturability findings by code, and the reasons lines went to review or were blocked. The parts that keep failing are a pattern, not bad luck.

Revenue

Quoted against ordered value by day, with the average order and the conversion, counted from the quotes and orders themselves.

Operations

Analyses done and failed, the review queue, and how many webhook deliveries arrived.

Usage

Quote requests against your quota, per configuration, per day, with a CSV when you want to do your own arithmetic.

Honest numbers

No vanity metrics

Counts are of things that happened, not of things that might have. A re-price when a buyer changes quantity is not a new quote request and is not counted as one, on your bill or in your funnel. Everything is a UTC calendar day, inclusive, so two reports of the same week agree.

And you can take it away: usage exports as CSV, and the export is the data rather than a picture of it.
