Thickness, operations and finish for every part
16 ga 304, laser cut, six folds, TIG-welded corners, #4 brushed: fields beneath each part line explain the price, and make plain what a cheaper competitor has left out.

For sheet metal workers and metal fabricators
Sheet metal and fabrication quoting software for subcontract fabricators
ExtraflowDoc lets a fabricator answer an RFQ one part at a time: thickness and material, the operations each part goes through and its finish, programming and jigs shown separately, price breaks, and acceptance by purchase order or signature.

What a sheet metal quote needs to get right
Fabrication buyers read a quote alongside the drawing. With thickness, folds, welds and finish on the line, they can see you have priced exactly the part they drew.
Jigs and programming as one-off charges
Nesting, press brake programs, first-off samples and welding jigs go in their own section. The part price holds for repeat orders, and the buyer knows what they will not be charged for again.
Price breaks for the next order
Show every part at four quantities, or set price tiers on it. A buyer ordering 60 off will often go to 120 once they see what spreading the set-up does to the unit price.
Tolerances and surcharges in writing
The tolerance standard, material certificates, stainless alloy surcharges and the over-run allowance are saved terms that go into every quote.
Fixings and finishing on the line
Self-clinching studs, powder coating, passivation: add them as fields or as separately priced lines, so a change of finish is re-costed by editing a single line.
Purchase order or signature, then the invoice
The buyer raises a purchase order against the quote number, or signs the quote. Once the parts are dispatched, the quote becomes the invoice in one click.
Worked example
Anatomy of a genuine sheet metal quote
This is a genuine three-page ExtraflowDoc quote from a sheet metal subcontractor in Cincinnati to a food equipment manufacturer: welded stainless enclosures, access panels with self-clinching studs and powder-coated brackets, for $13,088.00. Fabrication buyers check thickness, operations and finish line by line, so that is how this quote is set out.
Page 1 — the RFQ on one row, then every part
A single row links the quote to the RFQ, the drawing revisions, the dispatch date and the terms. Every part follows with its gauge and material, operations and finish as fields: the enclosure at $148.00 each is 16 ga 304 stainless, laser cut, given six bends on the press brake and TIG welded. Parts total $11,868.00.
Page 2 — one-off charges, price breaks and assumptions
Programming, flat patterns, first-off samples and a welding jig are one-off charges, $1,070.00, kept out of the part prices. A table shows every part at 30, 60, 120 and 240 off, and the assumptions state the tolerance standard, the certificates supplied and what is excluded.
Page 3 — how the enclosure is made, terms and acceptance
Four steps (cut, fold, weld, inspect) set out the route each enclosure takes through the shop. The terms explain how the stainless alloy surcharge is checked and how over-runs are invoiced, and the buyer can accept with a signature or a purchase order.

Integrations
Quote from the RFQ that is already in your CRM
ExtraflowDoc installs into Pipedrive and monday.com, so the quote is built on the deal or item the enquiry created, next to the drawings and the buyer's emails.
Fabrication quotes in Pipedrive
Open ExtraflowDoc from the deal. The buyer and custom fields such as RFQ number, material or required date fill in the quote, and standard parts come from your product catalogue with their price tiers.
Fabrication quotes in monday.com
If jobs are run on a monday.com board, build the quote from the item. Columns such as part number, thickness and quantity fill in the document, and the quote is saved back to the job.

FAQ
Sheet metal quoting software: your questions answered
Including what ExtraflowDoc does not do.
What is sheet metal quoting software?
Software that turns an RFQ into a quote the buyer can check against the drawing: every part with its thickness, operations and finish, plus one-off charges, price breaks and terms. ExtraflowDoc does this inside Pipedrive or monday.com, from the deal or item the enquiry created.
Does it unfold or nest parts from CAD?
No. ExtraflowDoc does not read DXF or STEP files, unfold bends, nest parts on a sheet or calculate laser time. Use your CAM and nesting software for that, then price the result in ExtraflowDoc.
Can I show the operations each part goes through?
Yes. Add fields beneath each part line, such as operations and finish, or a short table or step-by-step section explaining how the part is made, as the example on this page does.
Can I keep jigs and programming out of the part price?
Yes. Put them in a one-off charges section with its own subtotal, and note on each line that it is not charged again on repeat orders.
Is it a production control or ERP system?
No. It does not schedule work centres, track jobs through the workshop or manage stock. It produces and tracks the documents: quotes, purchase orders, delivery notes and invoices.
Can I see my margin on each part?
Yes. Enter material and workshop cost, then add a mark-up or a target margin per line. The document details show cost, profit and margin to your team only; internal columns are never printed.
Can I quote export customers in other currencies?
Yes. Choose the currency and number format the customer pays in, and apply or leave off tax per line or across the whole quote.
Is there a free plan for a small fabrication workshop?
Yes. The free plan covers 5 documents a month with unlimited users. When enquiries pick up, paid plans start at £11.80/month for 20 documents.
