Quote faster without hiring another estimator
Turn RFQ emails, drawings, CAD files, BOMs, and spreadsheets into reviewed quote drafts estimators can trust. Keep rates, margins, and IP secure on your desktop.
“We used to spend hours just sorting through spec sheets and drawings to compile a basic takeoff draft. With Kwantflow, we drop the entire RFQ package in and have a detailed line-item draft ready to review in under five minutes. It hasn't replaced our estimators or quantity surveyors—it just handles the tedious extraction so we can focus on fine-tuning our margins and winning tenders.”
