The universal quotation software

for sheet metal parts and


mechanized welding
Almaquote enables you to create quotes, from the simplest
to the most complicated, via an intuitive GUI. This software
is intended for sheet metal subcontractors who must
answer requests for quotation with very short deadlines,
and manufacturers looking for customized functions or
even applications tailored for very specific needs.

Create quotes quickly and precisely


Almaquote enables you to quickly create a quote using a few
