Efficient Quoting Starts Before Production
In many frame production companies, the greatest pressure does not lie in production itself, but well before it. Quotations need to be sent out quickly, while information is still incomplete. Dimensions change, options are not yet fully defined, and meanwhile the planning continues. The result: assumptions, extra checks, and corrections afterwards. This costs time, money, and above all, peace of mind. Efficient quoting is therefore not only about speed, but especially about clarity and certainty. Knowing what you are offering, at what cost price, and with what impact on the rest of the process. That is exactly where the strength of MatrixProject lies.
Quoting as the Starting Point of the Process
In practice, a quotation is often seen as a standalone document—something that needs to be created quickly to secure a project. But every quotation is also the starting point for work preparation, production, planning, and ultimately invoicing. MatrixProject therefore does not treat quoting as an end product, but as part of one continuous process. The data recorded during calculation immediately forms the basis for subsequent activities. This prevents duplicate entry and misunderstandings between departments. For frame manufacturers, this means fewer transfer errors and more control from the very first customer contact.
Fewer Errors Through Structure
Many failure costs arise because information is scattered across different systems or files. An Excel sheet for calculation, a Word document for the quotation, and separate notes for agreements with the customer. When changes occur, everything must be updated manually. Within MatrixProject, all information is recorded centrally. Changes in the calculation are automatically translated into the quotation. This keeps information consistent and up to date, even when quotations are revised multiple times. This not only saves time, but more importantly prevents errors that would otherwise only become visible during production.
All data centrally managed in MatrixProject. Phasing out multiple sources prevents errors and unnecessary costs.
Clear Overview of Quotations and Follow‑Up
Another common challenge is maintaining overview. Which quotations are still open? Which have been accepted? And where is follow‑up required? MatrixProject provides a single overview in which all quotations are visible, including status and history. Work preparation and sales can see at a glance where action is needed. This prevents missed opportunities or duplicated follow‑up. For companies handling many requests at once, this brings calm and structure to daily work.
No more separate Word quotations—work with clear, fully configurable quotation reports.
From Quotation to Invoice Without Detours
After a quotation is approved, a new process often begins: transferring data to an invoice, checking everything again, and making adjustments. This takes time and increases the risk of errors. Within MatrixProject, all information you enter is carried through step by step and supplemented by you where needed—from creating the customer record to sending the invoice. The information remains intact, allowing invoicing to proceed faster and more reliably. This not only saves time but also ensures a more professional appearance toward customers.
Software That Matches Real‑World Practice
What sets MatrixProject apart is that it is developed with real industry knowledge. The consultants who guide implementations come from the sector themselves and understand the challenges frame manufacturers face. They know where things go wrong in daily practice and how processes can be organised more intelligently.
More Efficient Quoting as the Foundation for Control and Growth
For frame manufacturers, efficiency is becoming increasingly important—not only in production, but especially in the preparatory phases. Quoting is a crucial moment. It is the first point at which decisions are recorded that directly influence margin, planning, and feasibility. More efficient quoting therefore means more than creating quotations faster. It is about control, predictability, and scalability. MatrixProject plays a central role in this.
Control Over Margin and Progress
One of the biggest challenges in quoting is maintaining control over margin. Without up‑to‑date insight into costs and assumptions, steering becomes difficult. MatrixProject provides insight into calculations, quotations, and status, enabling companies to make better‑founded decisions. Not only per quotation, but across all quotations. Which quotations are active, where is profit being made, and where are the risks? This insight supports both operational and strategic decision‑making.
Efficient Quoting as a Strategic Choice
In a market where margins are under pressure and projects are becoming more complex, control over the quotation process is essential. Efficient quoting forms the basis for predictability, reliability, and controlled growth. MatrixProject supports frame manufacturers in professionalising this process—not through isolated optimisations, but through a structural approach that grows with the organisation.
Working More Efficiently Without Added Complexity
More efficient quoting does not have to mean extra administrative burden. On the contrary: by creating structure at the front end, calm is created further down the process. MatrixProject helps frame manufacturers create overview, reduce errors, and collaborate more efficiently. Not by making the work more complicated, but by organising it logically. Efficient quoting is therefore not a goal in itself, but an important step toward a more stable and manageable production process.
