Uptool's CEO Benny Buller on why estimating a part is still almost entirely manual, roughly 15 minutes a part, and how we are bringing that quoting time down to about one minute. Thanks for chatting with us @IMTSchicago @IndustrialSage !

Straight from the Top Shops Conference hosted by Gardner: "Let AI take the first pass...quoting has gone from days to minutes..."

Big thanks to @develop3d for featuring Uptool in their D30 list! "Designed to bring small- and medium-scale manufacturing ‘shop operations into the modern era, Uptool’s AI quoting software can be implemented in an hour with no upfront costs. Users can cut the time spent quoting jobs down from hours to minutes, resulting in winning more business and increasing productivity. AI automatically extracts and organises emails, CAD, engineering drawings, BOMs while material and operations calculators provide estimates. With design and engineering companies bringing more manufacturing hardware inhouse, Uptool might be the solution to build it out as an external offering and profit from any downtime."
