MakerQuote

MakerQuote is a web + mobile app that helps small makers price custom work without guessing. You build a simple “recipe” for each product type: materials, waste %, labor steps with time ranges, machine time, overhead, packaging, and shipping. When a customer requests a custom size or variation, you enter a few parameters and the app generates a quote with margin, lead time, and a customer-facing PDF/checkout link. It also tracks actual time and material usage after the job to show where you under- or over-estimated, then suggests updated defaults. This is not glamorous: it’s spreadsheets made usable, with repeatable templates and post-job feedback loops. The goal is to stop makers from undercharging, losing money on customs, and spending hours writing quotes that never convert.
