Win More Jobs. Stop Leaving Money
on the Table.
In competitive cabinet and millwork markets, the shop that responds first with an accurate, professional quote wins the job. But if your estimators are spending 3–5 hours manually pricing a kitchen project - calculating sheet yields, pulling hardware costs, estimating labour by work centre - you're not just slow. You're exposed. One wrong number in a complex BOM and a profitable job becomes a break-even headache. Seradex Automated Quoting builds your estimate from the design data up, pricing every component with live costs in minutes.
Why Automated Quoting & Pricing Is Critical?
Speed is only half the win; the other half is confidence. When quotes live in spreadsheets and static multipliers, you either miss the bid window or commit to a number the shop cannot execute. Seradex ties every line to live material, labour, routing, and yield so your margin is defensible - and when the customer says yes, the approved quote becomes the job without another round of re-entry.
Quoting Built for Cabinetry Complexity
Instant Quote Generation from CAD
Pull a finalized Cabinet Vision, TopSolid, or Microvellum design and Seradex generates a fully costed quote automatically - species, thickness, finish, edge profile, hardware, and labour by work centre, all priced from live ERP data. What used to take half a day takes minutes.
Accurate Cost Calculation — Every Line Item
Material costs, nesting yield factors, hardware quantities, finishing labour, assembly time, and overhead are calculated against your actual shop data - not industry averages. Every quote reflects your true cost of production, protecting your margins on every job.
Dynamic Scheduling Adjustments
Set rules for door style upcharges, species premiums, custom sizing surcharges, and volume discounts. Apply customer-specific pricing tiers for your top builder accounts without manual adjustment every time.
CAD-to-Quote-to-Job in One Flow
When a customer approves a quote, Seradex converts it into a production job order automatically - BOM, cut-list, work centre routing, and material reservations all generated from the same data set. No re-keying between systems.
Quote Analytics & Win Rate Reporting
Track which product types win, which price points lose, and where your estimates consistently drift from actuals. Use that data to sharpen your pricing and improve profitability quarter over quarter.
From Design File to Approved Quote in Minutes
Step 1 - Design Input: Import the approved design from Cabinet Vision or upload project specs. Seradex reads every component: species, dimensions, door style, hardware selections, and finish.
Step 2 - Live Cost Assembly: The system prices every BOM line from your live inventory costs, supplier pricing, and labour rates by work centre — applying your current overhead allocation automatically.
Step 3 - Margin Review & Adjustment: Your estimator reviews the quote summary, adjusts for competitive positioning or relationship pricing, and sees the impact on margin in real time before sending.
Step 4 - Professional Quote Output: Generate a clean, branded quote document for the customer — with or without cost detail — and send it directly from Seradex.
Step 5 - One-Click Job Conversion: When the job is approved, convert the quote to a production order in one click. The BOM, schedule, and purchase orders are ready to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions to help you better understand our solutions and processes.
Can quotes handle custom options like glass inserts, pull-out organizers, or specialty hardware?
Yes. Configurable pricing rules cover add-ons, option sets, and customer-specific customizations, applying the correct material and labour costs for each variation automatically.
Does it account for material yield and nesting waste?
Yes. Seradex applies your actual nesting yield factors when calculating sheet good quantities, so the cost estimate reflects what you actually consume, not a theoretical best case.
Can we price jobs for specific builder accounts with their own rates?
Yes. Customer-specific pricing tiers allow you to maintain different price structures for builder programs, kitchen dealers, and commercial clients without manual adjustment.
What if our actual costs come in over the quote?
Seradex tracks quote-to-actual variance by job, so you can identify which product types are consistently underpriced and update your pricing rules accordingly.
