Every bad estimate started as a guess.

Underquote the setup and the first article eats the job. Pad everything “to be safe” and the work goes to the shop across town. Consistent estimating isn’t about working harder — it’s about starting every quote from your actual rates instead of last month’s memory. That’s the whole product.

How it works

Load your real numbers — Machine rates for each mill and lathe, material costs, setup standards, and your target margin — entered once.

Estimate the job — Hours by operation, material by weight or piece. Cost, price, and margin update live so you can see exactly where the job stands.

Quote with confidence — One click to a clean, branded quotation — part, revision, quantity, price, validity date — ready to email back while your competitor is still opening the RFQ.

Common questions

Does it calculate cycle times from CAD?

No — and that’s on purpose. You know your machines better than any simulation. CostLogger takes the hours you estimate and turns them into consistent, margin-safe pricing instantly. Simple beats clever.

Can I use it on the shop floor and in the office?

Yes. Install it on as many devices as you like — the $599 license covers your whole company. Note each device keeps its own records; a built-in backup file moves data between them.

Is my rate data safe?

It never leaves your device. There is no cloud, no account, and no server — nothing to breach. Your rates live on your hardware, full stop.

What’s the catch on “one-time”?

There isn’t one. Buy it once like software used to work. If we ever build a major new version, it would be a separate optional purchase — the version you bought keeps working.
