About

CostRatesAdvisor is the most robust budgeted hourly rates and cost analysis software available to the printing and packaging industry. It analyzes your costs and pinpoints the break-even out-of-pocket cost of your production equipment and services. Enabling you to produce more accurate estimates, make better pricing decisions, increase sales, and grow profits. CostRatesAdvisor benchmarks your labor, factory, and overhead costs and rates against other printing companies and the industry. Find out why your prices may be higher than the competition on certain quotes. Is it your factory costs or your overhead costs that are driving up prices? Maybe your labor costs are too high? It could be specific products or services you provide.

About

Spindlewise is a cloud-based quoting application for small CNC milling and turning shops. Shops configure their own machine, labour, material and overhead rates, then build quotes with multiple quantities and setup or programming costs allocated across each batch. It can measure STEP and IGES models for blank size, volume, holes, slots and pockets, and read specified details from engineering drawings. Teams can send quote links for buyers to review and accept online with a purchase-order number. After work is won, job travellers and shop-floor time logging connect the estimate to production, helping shops compare quoted costs and hours with actual results. The service also supports importing shop data from spreadsheets and exporting won quotes to accounting software or CSV.
