CNCQuote Quote CNC parts in minutes, not days.
The quoting workspace that runs the Kovine Gorsek machine shop every single day — 3D CAD viewing, instant mass & material costing, AI estimating, subcontractor comparison and delivery-tracked quotes. One browser tab, synced straight into Iskrex Books accounting.
- Runs a real shop daily
- No CAD licence needed
- Quotes in EN · DE · SI
- ERP-synced
- 10× faster than email quoting
- 6 AI copilots on board
- 3 quote languages built in
- 1 system from RFQ to invoice
From an email to a finished quote — on camera
Two recordings straight from the live system. Subtitles in English, German and Slovenian — playback speed and fullscreen included.
From inbox to order. One system.
Every step a quote goes through in your shop — already connected. No spreadsheets, no copy-paste, no “which folder was that STEP file in?”
-
01
The RFQ lands
Customers upload parts in their own portal — or you simply forward an RFQ email and AI builds the quote skeleton, customer and files for you.
-
02
See every part instantly
STEP, DXF, DWG and PDF open right in the browser: orbit, measure, X-ray, section and redact. No CAD seat needed.
-
03
Stock & cost in one pass
Batch Mass suggests raw stock for every part from its geometry, reads the material grade off the drawing with AI, and prices it from your own €/kg database.
-
04
Price with AI, decide yourself
A machining estimate calibrated to your machines suggests hours and €/piece. Apply it with one click — or argue with it in chat until it gets your process right.
-
05
Outsource the smart way
Route parts to subcontractors with drawings and PDF inquiries, compare their prices against yours on one screen, and let automatic reminders chase the quiet ones.
-
06
Send, track, close
A multilingual PDF quote with live delivery tracking. One accept click becomes an order confirmation — already synced into Iskrex Books accounting.
Every RFQ. One queue. Nothing slips.
Search, filter and flag every quote in the pipeline. The queue tells you what needs attention before anyone has to ask.
- Color flags — mark quotes important or done, at a glance
- Bounce alarms — a quote email that never arrived turns the whole row red
- Unread chat dots — see instantly where a customer replied
- Full pipeline view — created, waiting, accepted, declined — with subtotals

Raw stock and material cost — for the whole quote at once
One page loads every part on the quote, analyzes the geometry and does the arithmetic your estimator used to do in CAD, a calculator and three browser tabs.
- Auto stock suggestions from each part's bounding box — plate, bar or tube, with one-click +5/+10 mm allowances
- AI reads the title block — material grade and DIN pulled straight off the PDF drawing
- Your own materials database — densities, shape variants and €/kg with price history
- Purchasing-ready output — stock lists as PDF, bar-stock combining, and supplier inquiries pre-matched by material
Six AI copilots. Your judgment stays in charge.
AI drafts the estimate, plans the routing and does the data entry. Every number stays a suggestion until you apply it — and every estimate learns your shop from notes about your machines and your real hours.
Estimate & argue
Hours and €/pc from the drawings and 3D geometry — then refine it in plain language until it matches how you'd actually run the job.

Plan the process
In-house vs. subcontract routing, critical features and open questions — with one-click handoff into subcontractor inquiries.
Forward an email, get a quote
RFQs that arrive by email stop being retyped. Forward them to the ingest inbox — parts, files and customer are waiting in the queue.
Also on the team:
- AI file organize — a 50-file upload becomes clean per-part groups
- AI material extract — whole quotes at once
- AI supplier search — finds new subcontractors, by country
Your subcontractors, competing on one screen
Route parts to heat treatment, grinding or coating partners without composing a single email by hand — then decide with the numbers side by side.
- One-click inquiries — PDF, drawings and a secure portal link, per subcontractor
- They price it themselves in a cooperant portal — no account juggling on your side
- Automatic reminders after 3 and 5 days — confirmed via Telegram before anything is sent
- Approve & notify winners — assignments, prices and follow-ups logged on the quote
Quotes that chase themselves
The most expensive quote is the one nobody followed up. CNCQuote watches every quote after you hit send — and taps you on the shoulder only when it matters.
- Real delivery tracking — know the quote email actually arrived, not just that it was sent
- Expiry autopilot — warnings 7 days before a quote goes stale, auto-close at 60
- Polite customer pings — a one-click “where do we stand?” email, spam-protected
- Live chat on every quote — questions, photos and files stay attached to the job, not lost in inboxes
Quoting and accounting, finally speaking the same language
Every quote number, customer and order confirmation mirrors automatically between the quoting workspace and the Iskrex Books ERP. Nobody types the same order twice — ever.
CNCQuote workspace
RFQs, CAD files, pricing, subcontractors, customer chat.
Iskrex Books ERP
Quote numbers, customers, work orders, invoicing — the factory back office.
- QT- quote numbers
- Customers & billing entities
- Order confirmations
- Statuses & references
- Drawings & files

A normal quoting day — before and after
The old way
- Open CAD just to weigh each part — 15 minutes, per part, if the licence is free
- Retype supplier and subcontractor emails by hand, attach the wrong revision once a month
- “Did they even receive our quote?” — nobody knows, so nobody follows up
- Won orders re-typed into accounting; quote numbers never match invoice numbers
- RFQs buried across a shared inbox, a USB stick and someone's desktop
With CNCQuote
- Mass, stock and material cost for the whole quote in one pass — in the browser
- One-click inquiries with the right PDF and the right drawings, every time
- Delivery status on every email, expiry warnings and Telegram alerts built in
- Accept → order confirmation → ERP, automatically, one number end to end
- One searchable queue with flags, filters, files and chat — for the whole team
Your customers' drawings are crown jewels. They're treated like it.
2FA & passkeys
Authenticator codes, hardware security keys and passkeys (WebAuthn) for staff accounts — with backup codes and login audit trails.
Locked-down admin
The admin workspace answers only to whitelisted IPs, behind rate-limited, brute-force-protected authentication.
Drawing redaction
Whiteout title blocks and customer names on PDFs before they go to subcontractors — directly in the viewer, revision-safe.
Roles for everyone
Customers, staff, admins and subcontractors each see exactly their slice — cooperants never see your customer, or your margin.
Watch your own RFQs go through it.
This isn't a slide deck — it's the system quoting real parts in a real machine shop every day. We'll demo it on anonymized shop data, or on your own files — then you get a quote for your exact setup.
