Punching quoting · Sheet metal
Quoting software for sheet metal punching
SeekMake lets punching shops set their own material, feature and setup rates, then quote uploaded parts from the file and take the order online.
Punching shops price on hits, tool changes and sheet usage more than on cut length. Parts with many standard holes or formed features can be fast on a turret punch and slow on a laser, which changes how they should be quoted. Setting feature and setup rates that reflect your punch press keeps those parts priced on your real cost.

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.
Can I quote formed features like louvres?
You set your own feature rates. Features your rules don't cover can go to a manual quote for your team to price.
Can I offer finishes such as zinc plating on punched parts?
Yes. Finishes are options you define in the widget, each priced from your rates.
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.
