Manufacturing quoting questions, answered

QuoteCloud is quoting, proposal and eSignature software. Job shops, contract manufacturers, equipment builders, packaging and print firms, co-packers and distributors use it to answer RFQs from their own templates and price book, with quantity breaks, tooling and lead times, and to get quotes accepted, signed and paid online.

Two ways. Show every break as a table in the quote with the quoted quantity marked, or put each quantity in as an alternative row in a single-choice group so the buyer picks one and the total follows. The break prices are your own pricing; QuoteCloud doesn't apply breaks by rule. Price tables are on Essentials and above.

As one-off lines in their own section of the price table, separate from the per-part price, with a note such as kept for repeat orders. You can take the tooling as a payment on signing, set as a fixed amount or a percentage, through Stripe or PayPal on Essentials and above.

Yes, where you allow it. Enable Quantity Editing on a line, such as spares, and the buyer changes the quantity. Optional rows let them add extras such as a first article report, and single-choice groups let them pick one quantity break or one motor size. The totals update as they choose.

Yes. Place the drawing as a PDF page or an image, and mark up images in the built-in editor with arrows, shapes, text and highlights (Starter and above). QuoteCloud doesn't open CAD files or price parts from a drawing; your estimator does the pricing.

Yes. Give each quote an expiry date so material prices and machine time aren't held forever, and use the Expiring Soon filter on the documents list to follow up quotes about to lapse. Expiry dates and Expiring Soon are on Essentials and above.

Yes. Put the year's pricing, the scheduled releases as repeating charges and your terms in one agreement both sides sign, with an expiry date and the Expiring Soon filter to follow up. QuoteCloud doesn't invoice the releases, track them against the agreement or renew it by itself.

Yes. Bulk send creates a personalised copy of one template for each reseller or distributor, such as a new year's dealer price offer, and you can see which copies were sent, opened and accepted. Bulk send is on Essentials and above, with volume-based costs.

Yes. QuoteCloud's template library has a Distributor Agreement covering terms, responsibilities and territory, and a Manufacturing Services Agreement covering specifications, pricing, delivery, quality, warranty and termination. Open either in your account, add your own terms and dealer levels, and send it for signature.
