Frequently asked questions

Is my data secure?

Your files are securely stored on AWS infrastructure and encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard security practices.

Does Quote Agent automatically generate quotes?

Quote Agent helps you review parts, identify potential issues, and generate a draft quote. You remain in control of the final quote and can review, edit, and adjust pricing before anything is sent to your customer.

How accurate are the quotes?

Quote Agent was developed and tested in CloudNC's own production machine shop, which manufactures high-mix, low-volume precision parts across a variety of industries. It helps estimators build accurate quotes faster, while still letting your team review, edit, and approve every quote before it is sent.

What types of parts can I quote with Quote Agent?

Quote Agent is designed for precision machined components. Whether you're quoting milled parts, turned parts, mill-turn components, or other precision machined parts, Quote Agent can help you review parts and build quotes faster.

Will Quote Agent replace our estimators?

No. Quote Agent is built to help skilled estimators work faster. It reduces manual review, highlights potential issues earlier, and gives your team a stronger starting point. Your estimators still review, edit, and approve quotes before they go to customers.

What types of machines can Quote Agent generate estimates for?

Quote Agent can generate estimates and quotes for 3-axis, 3+2, 4-axis and 5-axis mills, horizontal mills, CNC lathes, turn-mill machines, Swiss lathes and more. It also supports grinding and finishing, EDM, cutting and forming, and inspection equipment.

Is Quote Agent suitable for export-controlled parts?

At this time, Quote Agent is a cloud-based service and we do not recommend uploading export-controlled data. Customers should ensure any data uploaded complies with their own security and contractual requirements

Can I edit the quotes before sending them to my customer?

Yes. Every quote is fully editable. Quote Agent creates the first draft, but you remain in complete control. You can adjust machining steps, materials, labour, markups, lead times, pricing and any other part of the quote before sending it to your customer.

Is support available?

Yes. Quote Agent includes an AI assistant that can answer questions about parts, drawings, and manufacturing. Whether you're reviewing a new RFQ, investigating a potential issue, or trying to better understand a part, the assistant is available directly within Quote Agent.

Do I need CAM software?

No. Quote Agent is a standalone web application and does not require any CAM software. You can use Quote Agent regardless of which CAD, CAM, or ERP systems you currently use.

Is Quote Agent available in multiple languages?

Not yet. Quote Agent is currently available in English only. We plan to add support for additional languages in future releases.

Which currencies does Quote Agent support?

Quote Agent supports US dollars (USD), euros (EUR), British pounds (GBP), Canadian dollars (CAD), Mexican pesos (MXN), Japanese yen (JPY), Chinese yuan (CNY), Indian rupees (INR), Australian dollars (AUD) and New Zealand dollars (NZD).
You can choose your currency in your shop settings.
