Faster quotes, margins you know before you win, and the knowledge kept in the shop
Quotes go out the day the RFQ arrives instead of the week after, priced from your own rates with the arithmetic recorded. Then VenturusEQ answers four questions for you: what is out, what came back, how long it is taking, and what the pipeline is worth weighted by probability. Every price underneath is built from your own rates, with where each number came from recorded; the data is yours in writing; and pricing is per shop.
What you can see once the quote is a record instead of a file
Most owners can name the biggest quote out this week and guess at the win rate. Fewer can say how long a package waits before someone opens it, which customer's work is priced at the thinnest margin, or which estimator wins the machining work and loses the sheet metal.
VenturusEQ makes the quote a record rather than a file. Because every line is built from your rates and every confirmed value is ledgered, the numbers on the dashboard are the same numbers on the quote. There is no second spreadsheet to reconcile.
And because the record is yours, it leaves with you. The data ownership statement is served from the product, signed out, so anyone at your shop can read it before you buy.
The numbers VenturusEQ shows an owner
Win-loss by account, process and estimator
Quotes sent, orders won and amounts for a 30, 90 or 365-day period. Win rate broken down by customer, by process and by the person who quoted, with lost and no-bid reasons and the competitor named when known.
Three cycle clocks
Received to draft, draft to sent and sent to order, each recorded as median hours for your own shop, so a before-and-after is yours to run.
A forecast weighted by probability
Each open quote carries a probability. The forecast weights the open pipeline by it, so the number you plan against is not the sum of every long shot.
A quote log you can export
The year's register with hours by bucket, values and outcomes, exported to CSV or XLSX whenever you want it in your own spreadsheet.
Quote-vs-actual
The awarded snapshot beside live actuals per bucket, and a portfolio view of which templates drift. Advisory by design: a person decides what to change.
Controlled files fenced and ledgered
Classes per file, storage tiers that keep controlled bytes off cloud storage, a hash-chained ledger of every controlled open, watermarked downloads and an access-review page.
Common questions
How much does it cost?
VenturusEQ is priced per shop, not per seat, so every estimator, engineer and salesperson can work in the same quote. Every shop is priced for its own work. Tell sales what you make and how many people quote, and you get a written proposal within one business day.
What do we have to put in before we can quote?
Your work-center rates, your material price list and your process templates, entered once at onboarding. The product ships no rates of its own, and every price is built from yours.
Who owns the data, and can we get it back?
You do. The security and data ownership statement, served from the product itself, says your data is returned in open formats on request and is never used to train models. The quote log exports to CSV and XLSX at any time.
Can we run it on our own hardware?
Yes. VenturusEQ is delivered as SaaS, and the same product runs on-premises: one container plus PostgreSQL, with mail through your Microsoft 365 tenant, in your own Azure tenant or on your own hardware on request. The CAD kernel runs inside the container, so models never leave it.
How much faster will we quote?
The reading, retyping and file hunting that eat most of the hours between an RFQ landing and a quote leaving are the parts VenturusEQ takes over, and the three cycle clocks, received to draft, draft to sent and sent to order, measure your own before-and-after as median hours from the first week.
What happens to a won quote? Does it go into our ERP?
A won quote raises a signed quote.won event that your other systems can receive, and it exports as CSV, XLSX or PDF. Your ERP or job system creates the order or job from that event, in the system you run it in.
