SeekMake for sheet metal shops
Quoting and sales software for sheet metal shops
SeekMake is quoting and sales software for sheet metal shops. It prices uploaded STEP and DXF files with your rates, sells on your website under your brand, and manages orders from quote to shipping.
Sheet metal jobs combine cutting, bending and often hardware or coating, so one part touches several cost centres. Quoting it by hand means unfolding the part, measuring cut length, counting bends and adding finishing. When those steps follow your rates automatically, simple brackets get priced online and complex assemblies get your team's full attention.

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 I price powder coating by colour?
Yes. Finishes and colours can be set up as options customers choose, each with the price you set.
Do I have to quote welded assemblies online?
No. Jobs your rules can't price, such as complex assemblies, arrive as manual quote requests that your team prices from the dashboard.
Which files can customers upload?
STEP and DXF 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.
