Tube laser · Laser cutting

Quoting software for tube laser cutting

SeekMake lets tube laser shops quote from the customer's file using their own material, length and cutting rates. Jobs your rules can't price arrive as manual quote requests.

Tube laser jobs are priced on profile, wall thickness and the length of stock consumed, plus cutting time for slots, holes and end cuts. Customers often send tubes with joinery features that flat-sheet pricing rules do not cover. Using your own material and length rates means a tube quote reflects how your machine and your stock lengths actually work.

FAQ

Questions shops ask before switching

Can my team share one set of rates?

Yes. Rates, materials and margins live in your SeekMake account, so every quote uses the same rules.

Can I edit an automatic quote before sending it?

Yes. You can change prices, add lines, apply a discount or add a note before you send the quote.

Can customers order directly from a quote?

Yes. The customer opens the quote online, accepts it and pays by card, PayPal or bank transfer.

What happens with tube jobs that need welding after cutting?

Jobs your rules can't price arrive as manual quote requests, which your team prices from the dashboard.

Should I charge for offcuts on tube jobs?

Many tube shops include the unusable remnant of a stock length in the price. Basing your rates on length consumed lets you decide how much of each bar the customer pays for.

Which files can customers upload?

DXF and STEP 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.
