RFQ management software for CNC turning shops
SeekMake collects every request for quote in one list: uploads from your website, RFQ emails and requests your team enters. Each RFQ keeps its files, its quote and its status, from new to ordered.
A turning shop can receive RFQs through its website, by email and over the phone in the same morning, and each one needs a model, a material and quantities before it can be priced. When they live in different inboxes, some sit unanswered for days. One RFQ list with a status on each request shows what is waiting, what was quoted and what was won.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Can I import RFQs that arrive by email?
Yes. Forward them to your quote inbox and a draft quote is created.
Can parts outside my rules still be quoted?
Yes. They arrive as manual quote requests that your team prices.
Can I see which RFQs became orders?
Yes. Reports show quotes, orders and your quote-to-order rate.
How do I spot turning RFQs that have been waiting too long?
Each RFQ shows its status, from new to ordered, so requests that have not been quoted yet are easy to find in the list.
Do the files stay with each turning RFQ?
Yes. Each RFQ keeps its files and its quote together, so anyone on the team can open a request and see what the customer sent.
Which files can customers upload?
STEP and STL files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.
How much does SeekMake cost?
There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
