QAT
Quote Analysis Tool

Quotes that protect your margin.

Build, check, and approve job quotes from materials, machines, and labour — on the shop floor, without the spreadsheet scramble.

The problem

Spreadsheet quoting loses money quietly.

Rates drift. Approvals get lost in email. Nobody's looking at the same numbers when a job gets priced.

Product

Built for how the shop actually quotes.

One shared system for creators, finance, and the MD. See all screens →

01

New Quote

Parts, materials, machines — live totals as you build.

02

Finance watch

FC owns rates and contingency. Money changes wait for MD/Dev.

03

Two approval lanes

Vault ≠ Financial Approval ≠ Approve quote on the job.

New Quote

Every line item, priced as you build it.

Add parts, pick materials and machines, and watch the total update as you go — no formulas to break.

Finance (ongoing)

Rates stay under Financial Controller watch.

FC checks labour and machine rates so the shop does not overcharge — and can review quote aftermath and add contingency. When they change money settings, those wait for MD (or Developer) approval before they go live.

Two different approvals

Quote Vault ≠ Financial Approval.

Quote Approval (Vault) is where the MD reviews quotes in the vault queue (with Atlas analysis). Releasing a quote to the customer is a separate Approve quote action on the quote itself.

Financial Approval is only for money-setting changes FC submitted — labour rates, machine rates, contingency, markups, and similar. If FC set labour to £100/hr by mistake, the MD can reject it.

How it works

Live in three steps.

01

Deploy on your site

Runs on your PostgreSQL server and Windows clients — no cloud tenancy to manage.

02

Set your numbers

Rates, machines, users, and roles — configured once, used by every quote after. FC money changes wait for Financial Approval.

03

Quote, approve, export

Build the quote, use business approve when ready for the customer, and export the PDF. Rate changes stay on a separate lane.

Training and handover are included at go-live. Full walkthrough →
Roles

The right people see the right tools.

Permissions and portals keep quoting fast and oversight clear.

Quote Creator

Builds quotes from parts, materials, and machine time. Sees live totals from the shared rates catalogue.

Financial Controller

Owns day-to-day finance: labour rates, machine rates, contingency, and quote financial aftermath. Proposed money changes wait in Financial Approval for the MD (or Developer) to accept or deny.

Managing Director

Vault review, business approve on quotes, and Financial Approval of FC rate/setting changes — plus oversight of the shop pipeline.

Security / Admin

Manages users, roles, access, and lock-screen policy for the site.

Deployment

Your site. Your data.

QAT runs on your own PostgreSQL server, licensed per site. Roles, lock screens, and audit-friendly logs keep operations tidy without adding red tape.

  • Licensed per site. No per-user cloud subscription.
  • Your PostgreSQL server. Data stays where you keep it.
  • Role-based access. Creator, Finance, MD, Admin — separated by design.
