OneThou: facts at a glance

OneThou sets up quoting and RFQ automation for job shops. A customer's PDF drawing goes in; a draft quote priced on the shop's own rates comes back in under a minute for an estimator to check and send.

Name
OneThou. The name is a machinist's measure: one thou is 0.001 of an inch.
What it is
RFQ and quote automation, set up for each shop: drafts quotes from customers' drawings on the shop's own rates, price list and past quotes.
Who it is for
Machine shops, sheet metal shops and fabricators that quote from drawings.
Where
Based in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. Works with shops anywhere: in person across southern Ontario, by video and phone everywhere else.
What goes in
PDF drawings, single parts or assembly drawings; a folder of drawings can run as a batch. A 3D model is not needed.
What comes out
An editable draft quote: operations with setup and run times, materials, outside services, cost and markup, and a price at each quantity break. Exports to Excel and CSV. Shops that only want routings can leave prices off.
How fast
Under a minute per drawing; 11 to 39 seconds in production.
Review
An estimator checks and edits every draft; every change is kept in the quote's history.
Processes
Sheet metal (laser, punch, brake, hardware, welding, finishing), machining (sawing, milling, turning, grinding, 3-axis and 5-axis), fabrication and weldments, outside services.
Units and currency
Canadian dollars, with a US-dollar view; inches, millimetres and sheet metal gauges.
Data
Each shop has its own workspace; drawings, quotes, rates and prices are not shared with other customers.
Price
Priced per shop, by quote volume and setup. A demo is free and commits you to nothing.
In use
In production at multiple manufacturers.
