Our SolviTT Estimating Module is designed to streamline the quotation and costing process, enabling manufacturers to create accurate, production-ready estimates with speed and confidence. By bringing together item creation, bill of materials (BOM) management, routing information, and supplier pricing, SolviTT ensures every estimate is built on real operational data, helping businesses improve accuracy, maintain margins, and reduce administrative effort.
A key feature of the module is its automated item and BOM creation capability, allowing users to generate new stock items and bills of materials directly from the estimating process. The system also provides flexible item handling, enabling both stock and non-stock items to be included within estimates, ensuring complete flexibility for different product types and manufacturing requirements.
To improve costing accuracy, SolviTT integrates routing and production process information directly into estimates. Routing data can be linked to actual manufacturing workflows, ensuring quotations reflect the true production requirements of each product. This connection between estimating and shop floor operations helps eliminate discrepancies, improves cost visibility, and ensures customers receive quotes based on realistic manufacturing processes.
The module supports flexible cost calculation methods, allowing estimates to be generated using either existing cost data or customised costing models. Combined with supplier pricing information, this gives businesses greater control over margins while enabling the creation of competitive and transparent customer quotations. Accurate costing helps organisations make informed pricing decisions without compromising profitability.
For businesses handling complex assemblies and high-component products, SolviTT offers CSV BOM import functionality, making it particularly valuable for Contract Electronics Manufacturers (CEMs) and other organisations managing large, detailed bills of materials. Importing existing BOM data significantly reduces manual entry and accelerates the quotation process.
From the initial customer enquiry through to production-ready costing, SolviTT provides a seamless link between estimating and manufacturing. The result is a faster, more efficient quotation process with complete traceability, improved cost control, and greater confidence in every estimate produced. By connecting stock management, BOMs, routing, and supplier pricing in a single solution, the SolviTT Estimating Module delivers reliable, accurate estimates that both manufacturers and their customers can trust.
