Our machine shop, manufacturing and metalworking business software titles include the proven KipwareQTE® software which has helped all size manufacturers not only win more work ... but win more profitable work.

Kipware QTE:  A Machine Shop Quoting and Estimating Software programme that has been helping all size manufacturers not only win more work, but win more profitable work. In addition to its quoting and estimating role, KipwareQTE® interfaces with other programmes with other "Real World" features to create a powerful machine shop management tool which includes organizational, reporting, comparison and ordering features.

KipwareTRK® software helps users target their quoting and estimating process for results that really reflect in their bottom line. Our Kipware® business software titles are real world applications ... developed and refined "in-the-trenches" in many different metalcutting environments ... that deliver real world results.

The speed and accuracy delivered by KipwareQTE® is done through our database file concept. These simple files make quoting fast and easy ... and more important, add consistency to every quote because you are using the same parameters for every quote. These files are simple to create or modify using the KipwareQTE® fill-in-the-blank forms and interface. Calculating costs is simply a matter of choosing the material or tool or machine from the file ... everything else is done automatically by the software.
Some of the database files and features available :

   * Material Cost - Using a database that holds the costs for your various materials, or your direct inputs, you can calculate material costs using weight, length, bar stock, plate stock, pieces, castings and forgings.
    * Tooling Cost - KipwareQTE® has one of the best tool estimating modules of any system on the market. Using a database that holds costs for various tooling enables you to add these costs to the estimate quickly and easily.
    * Labor Cost - Using inputs from the WorkCenter Cost Database, or direct inputs, KipwareQTE® makes estimating labor cost quick and easy ... and more important ... consistent.
    * Non-Machining Costs - you can easily include costs or services that are not machining related such as set-up, programming, packing, shipping, plating or even amortize costs over a desired time period.

Kipware QTE allows you to print FORMATTED QUOTES, INVOICES, ORDER PROCESSING FORMS and view your costs in PIE CHART or BAR GRAPH form.
