Improve Estimating Accuracy

Accurate project estimation is essential for manufacturing profitability. Overpriced estimates can lead to lost opportunities, while underpriced ones can incur financial losses. MicroEstimating mitigates these risks by providing precise and comprehensive cost estimates, safeguarding your bottom line.

Increase Profitability

No matter your manufacturing specialty – Original Equipment Manufacturer, Contract Manufacturer, Job Shop, or Tool and Die Manufacturer, MicroEstimating tailors solutions to your specific estimating needs, increasing your profitability from day one.

Manufacturing Software Intelligence

For nearly four decades, we’ve been enhancing our technology in tandem with leading Machine Tool builders. Our system precisely emulates the latest manufacturing technologies, keeping your business on the cutting edge.
