# Quote Engine

> A quote in thirty seconds, not three days.

Configure-price-quote for made-to-measure products. Your sales team enters dimensions, the engine derives cost from your own formulas, and the customer gets a dimensioned technical quotation as a PDF — before your competitor has opened a spreadsheet.

- **Price:** quoted per project after a call — er@epsilon-labs.co
- **What moves the price above that floor:** How many product families you sell and how tangled the costing is. One formula family is at the floor; a catalogue with options that interact is where the work goes.
- **Typical duration:** 3–5 weeks
- **Category:** Software
- **Page:** https://epsilon-labs.co/products/quote-engine/
- **Enquiries:** er@epsilon-labs.co

## The problem

Made-to-measure products are quoted by the one person who understands the spreadsheet. When they are busy, quotes wait. When they are away, quotes stop. And the customer who asked on Monday bought from whoever answered on Tuesday.

The costing logic is usually sound. It is just trapped in a file nobody else can safely touch.

## What you get

- Your costing formulas encoded once, tested against quotes you have already sent
- A configurator your sales team can use without training
- Dimensioned technical quotations generated as vector PDFs
- Margin and material breakdown, visible to you and hidden from the customer
- Every quote logged, searchable, and re-issuable

## How it runs

- **Week 1** — Your spreadsheet and your last fifty quotes. We find the formulas.
- **Weeks 2–3** — Engine built and checked against real past quotes to the cent.
- **Weeks 4–5** — PDF templates, sales team onboarding, handover.

## This is for you if

- Tanks, windows, ducting, fabricated steel, signage, cabinetry
- Any product where price depends on dimensions
- Sales teams bottlenecked on one person who understands costing

## This is NOT for you if

- Fixed-price catalogue products — you need a shop, not a configurator
- Full ERP or inventory replacement
- Products whose price is negotiated rather than calculated

## Proof

For Al Maymanah we built a configure-price-quote engine for GRP water tanks that derives cost from surface-area and height-tier formulas and emits dimensioned technical quotations as vector PDFs.

## Questions

### What if our formulas are wrong?

We check the engine against quotes you have already sent. Where it disagrees with your history, we find out which one is right before going live.
