Pre-Nesting in Sales: Accurate Quotes Without Going Through Work Preparation

Calculate quotes based on real nesting plans – directly in the sales process? That's exactly what OmniFab Sales Quotes does. Real sheets, real times, real costs – right in the quoting process.

Many quotes in the steel industry are still based on the bounding rectangle. Quick to calculate, but often economically inaccurate. Inner contours, real part spacing and actual machine parameters? Not taken into account. The result: either a safety margin – and the risk of losing the order. Or aggressive pricing – and risk on the margin.

With the nesting function in OmniFab Sales Quotes, all quote items can be realistically nested directly within the sales process – on real sheet formats, using configurable machine profiles and automatic time and cost calculation. No CAD knowledge required, no back-and-forth with engineering.

Sales can immediately see:

  • how the parts would actually be produced
  • how many sheets are required
  • the real material consumption
  • resulting production time and costs
  • which scenario is economically more viable

OmniFab provides a strategic tool: optimize for speed or maximize material utilization. Different scenarios are transparent and economically comparable.
