Pain
Quoting design hours in a separate tool from quoting parts.
Fix
Services-mode quoting (hourly / fixed-fee / milestone) lives in the same engine that prices a CNC part.
For design consultants & engineering firms
You bill hours, not parts.We quote both.
For the design firm, engineering boutique, or fab consultancy that invoices in hours, fixed fees, and milestones — and still needs to quote actual parts. Same platform. Same engagement. One place.
