RFQ management · Sheet metal
RFQ management software for sheet metal shops
SeekMake collects every request for quote in one list: uploads from your website, RFQ emails and requests your team enters. Each RFQ keeps its files, its quote and its status, from new to ordered.
Sheet metal RFQs tend to arrive as a mix of STEP models, DXF flats and PDF drawings, sometimes for a single part and sometimes for a full assembly with a dozen brackets. When those requests sit across inboxes and desktop folders, it is easy to lose track of which revision was quoted. Keeping each RFQ with its own files and status avoids that.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Can I import RFQs that arrive by email?
Yes. Forward them to your quote inbox and a draft quote is created.
Can parts outside my rules still be quoted?
Yes. They arrive as manual quote requests that your team prices.
Can I see which RFQs became orders?
Yes. Reports show quotes, orders and your quote-to-order rate.
Can one RFQ hold several sheet metal parts?
Yes. A request can contain multiple parts, each with its own file, options and price, so a full assembly stays together in one quote.
Can I see my quote-to-order rate for sheet metal work?
Yes. The reports include quote-to-order rate alongside revenue, orders and visitors, so you can see how many RFQs turn into jobs.
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.
