Email to quote · Injection molding
Turn RFQ emails into injection molding quotes automatically
With Email to Quote, you forward an RFQ email with its attachments to your quote inbox and SeekMake creates a draft quote for you to review. Your estimator checks the price and sends it instead of building it from scratch.
Most molding RFQs arrive by email, often from purchasing departments with a STEP file, a drawing and a list of annual volumes. Typing those into a quote takes estimator time before any real pricing work begins. Forwarding the email creates a draft quote, and the estimator focuses on checking the numbers.
