Fabrication estimating software for RFQs
Kwantflow helps fabrication estimators, job shops, and manufacturing quoting teams turn RFQ emails, drawings, CAD files, BOMs, and spreadsheets into reviewed quote drafts. Keep rates, margins, and source files in a local desktop workspace.
Keep the RFQ source files, quantities, rate assumptions, and quote review together. Kwantflow uses AI for draft preparation while the estimator remains responsible for scope, pricing, and final approval.

Fabrication estimating software for RFQ-to-quote work
Import RFQs from Outlook and Gmail, review PDF drawings, BOMs, nesting layouts, and 3D STEP models beside your rates, then generate reviewable quote drafts locally. Built for fabrication estimators, job shops, manufacturing teams, glazing, HVAC, quantity surveying, and structural steel contractors.
Email-to-RFQ in One Click
Connect Outlook or Gmail, browse your inbox, and turn complex RFQs into structured quote drafts with one click. AI helps extract tender details, project deadlines, shipping addresses, and attachments for estimator review.
Inline CAD & Drawing Takeoffs
Open DWG/DXF drawings, nesting layouts, and 3D STEP/IGES models directly in your desktop workspace. Compare revisions, count parts, and extract dimensions without slow file conversions or expensive external viewers.
Protect Your Customised Rates
Build estimates from your own material, labour, nesting, and subcontract rate tables. AI drafts structured line items from BOMs, drawings, and specs while you keep final control of markups and margins.
Kwantflow AI (Draft Prep)
Run Kwantflow AI on your desktop to analyse project specifications. It can compile BOM-aware draft line items for review, map components to your rate templates, and flag discrepancies while keeping your estimating IP secure on your machine.
