Instant quoting · Plasma cutting
Instant quoting software for plasma cutting shops
SeekMake puts an instant quote on your own website. Customers upload DXF and STEP files, choose the options you offer and see your price in seconds. You review orders instead of typing quotes.
Plasma work is full of repeat shapes: base plates, gussets, flanges and brackets in mild steel from 6 to 25 mm. Fabricators and contractors ordering them usually need parts for a job on site this week, not after a two-day email loop. An instant price built from your plate, cut and pierce rates lets those routine profiles go straight to an order while your estimator handles the odd ones.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Do I set my own prices?
Yes. You set material costs, machine rates, setup charges, finishes and margins. SeekMake applies them to every quote.
What happens if a part can't be priced automatically?
The customer can send a manual quote request from the cart. You price it yourself and send it back from your dashboard.
Does it work on my current website?
Yes. You add the quote widget to any page of your site, or use the WordPress plugin or the Shopify app.
Can a buyer get a price for a set of base plates in different thicknesses?
Yes. Each plate is uploaded and priced with the material and thickness the buyer picks, then added to the same cart.
Can I ask buyers to request a material certificate when they order?
Yes. A 3.1 material certificate can be offered as an option in the quote form, with your own price attached.
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.
