The Challenge

The Problem We Solve

Your best estimator is buried. Three hours on a complex quote while RFQs pile up in the inbox. The ones that don't get touched? They walk to your competitor. You're leaving money on the table twice: once from quoting errors that erode margin (the $50K job that should have been $65K), and again from the opportunities you never quote at all because there aren't enough hours in the day. Every quote is a negotiation between speed and accuracy. Rush it, and you underbid—margin gone. Take your time, and you lose the job to someone faster. Your estimators carry 20 years of knowledge in their heads, and when they're out sick, quoting stops.
Our Approach

How BlackArc Helps

ArcQuote reads your RFQs—PDF drawings, STEP files, email specs—and extracts every feature that matters: tolerances, materials, operations, complexity factors. It pulls live material costs, applies your shop-specific labor rates and machine capabilities, and generates a quote in minutes. Your estimator reviews and approves. They're the expert—ArcQuote handles the grunt work so they can focus on judgment calls and customer relationships. The system learns your shop. Every approved quote teaches it your pricing strategy, your machine capabilities, your competitive positioning. It gets better every week.
