Predictable quotes, no magic formulas

MachinePilot doesn't use gut-feeling multipliers. Each operation (drilling, milling, turning, finishing, inspection) has a cost computed from real cutting parameters (Vc, fz, ap), machine time, hourly machine + operator cost. The result is a breakdown you can show the customer and defend line-by-line.

What you'll see inside the app
PRICING-SMART
Transparent op-by-op computation

For each operation you see cycle time, total minutes (× qty), hourly machine cost, material cost per piece, operator cost, tool cost. All editable, real-time recompute.

Automatic volume discounts

Tier table 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 pcs with configurable progressive discount per workshop. The customer sees 5 prices in one PDF, you capture volume orders without preparing 5 quotes.

Manual override on every parameter

Material too expensive in auto-quote? 1-click override. Raw weight different? Override. Finished dimension > nominal? Override. No more 'I'll fix it in CAM later'.

Multi-currency with live FX

Sell in EUR, USD, GBP, CHF while keeping base costs in EUR. Live ECB rates updated daily, shown in every PDF for transparency.

“My quotes used to be a hidden-formula Excel. Now the customer sees 8 clear cost lines. Win rate +27% in 3 months.”
