CPQ for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing
Fast quoting for CNC machining, coating services, EDM, grinding, and heat treatment - calculate setup time, cycle times, and material costs from part specs and return quotes the same day.
Why job shops need purpose-built CPQ
Every job is different. High-mix shops juggle hundreds of unique parts each month across multiple processes - and customers expect quotes back fast.
70%
of job shops quote manually using spreadsheets or email
Same day
turnaround expected by customers - most shops take 2–3 days
High mix
hundreds of unique parts per month with no two jobs alike
15–25%
of quotes lost because the response came too late
Processes we cover
From CNC machining to surface coating and heat treatment - Kabaido handles the full range of job shop services.
CNC Machining
Milling, turning, multi-axis, and Swiss-type work. Calculate quotes from material stock size, operation count, setup time, cycle time per part, and machine hourly rate - with automatic price breaks for volume tiers and repeat orders.
Surface Coating & Treatment
PVD, CVD, anodising, plating, and thermal spray services. Configure coating type, layer thickness, substrate compatibility, masking requirements, and batch size - with pricing that accounts for furnace loads, chemistry costs, and racking time.
EDM Services
Wire EDM, sinker EDM, and hole drilling. Define part geometry complexity, material hardness, number of cuts, surface finish requirements, and electrode count - with automated quoting that factors in wire consumption, flushing time, and machine burn rate.
Grinding & Lapping
Surface, cylindrical, centreless, and precision lapping services. Specify tolerance bands, surface finish targets (Ra/Rz), material type, and lot size - with pricing models that scale with tightness of tolerance and inspection requirements.
Laser & Waterjet Cutting
Flat-bed laser, tube laser, and abrasive waterjet cutting. Upload DXF/STEP files or define cut length, material type, thickness, and quantity - with nest optimisation estimates and pricing that reflects pierce count, cut speed, and material yield.
Heat Treatment
Hardening, tempering, carburising, nitriding, and stress relieving. Select process type, target hardness range, material grade, part weight, and batch size - with furnace load optimisation and pricing that includes energy, consumables, and testing costs.
Built for how job shops actually work
Not a tool designed for software sales or product catalogues. A quoting platform that thinks in setup times, machine rates, and process chains.
Speed-to-quote
Calculate setup time, cycle time, and material costs from part specs in minutes instead of hours. Respond to RFQs the same day and win work that competitors miss.
Process-based costing
Build pricing from actual shop floor parameters - machine hourly rates, operator time, consumable costs, and overhead recovery. Every quote reflects your true cost structure.
Repeat job lookup
Search previous quotes by part number, customer, or process type. Clone and adjust instead of starting from scratch - cutting quoting time for repeat work by 80%.
Multi-process quoting
Combine machining, grinding, coating, and heat treatment into a single quote with clear line items. Customers see the full value chain; you track margins per operation.
