Cost-Based Quoting

A quote is a bet on a cost that hasn’t been incurred yet. Price it too high off a rough estimate and lose the deal. Price it too low and win business that loses money the moment it ships.

ImpactECS builds quotes from the same cost and cost-to-serve data behind every other number in the system, not a separate estimate built for the moment. That means a quote already accounts for the actual routing, the actual material cost, and the actual cost to deliver to that specific customer.

The result is a quote sales can stand behind and finance can trust, because it was never a guess to begin with.
