About Spindlewise
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.

QuotedPart
QuotedPart is cloud-based quoting software for CNC machine and sheet metal job shops. Shops can forward RFQ emails, accept buyer requests through a web RFQ page, and upload STEP, IGES, and PDF files. The software measures 3D models and extracts drawing details such as material, finish, tolerances, and threads; it can also estimate from a drawing alone and list its assumptions. Estimators configure work centers, shop rates, materials, operations, and markups, then review editable routings, costs, margins, lead times, and quantity breaks. Quotes can be shared as branded customer pages or PDFs, where buyers select quantities and accept with a purchase order. QuotedPart also transfers estimates, routings, and quotes to JobBOSS², exports quotes and won orders as CSV or Excel for other systems, and provides an ITAR vault for controlled part data.

Asytra Quote
Asytra Quote helps machining shops replace slow, inconsistent manual quoting with automated CNC cost calculation from 3D CAD. Estimators upload a STEP or IGES file; Quote recognizes machinable features, recommends a milling, turning, or combined route, and prices the part from the shop's own machine rates, materials, and margins.
Quote ships in two forms that share the same analysis engine. Quote Dashboard ($129/mo) is for internal estimators: upload parts, review the route and cost, bundle multi-part quotes, and export customer-ready PDF or Excel. Quote Widget ($299/mo) embeds on the shop's website so visitors upload files, pick material and quantity, and see indicative pricing without waiting on email. Leads arrive with the CAD file, estimate, and contact details.
