Our Why
SecturaFAB's founding team had decades of experience creating industry leading CAD/CAM nesting solutions. During this time, they started noticing a gap in the tools available to front office teams, particularly the estimating and sales departments. Typically, these groups relied on spreadsheet calculators to estimate costs, which worked well enough for some, but the spreadsheets formulas would often break over time, or various versions of spreadsheets would be used simultaneously leading to inconsistencies across the team. Further, geometry would have to be read by other tools outside the reach of estimators, so other departments would need to provide assistance.
Inaccurate quotes were costly from a margin perspective, but the inaccuracies in materials needed created headaches for production teams as well. For other companies, engineers were becoming too involved with the quoting process, which meant their time was spent on speculative work instead of value-add production. For others, a generation of experts were retiring with no one to replace them.
SecturaFAB was created to solve those pain points. Without needing help from production teams, estimators themselves could create accurate quotes faster than ever. Managers could create guardrails and control profits, but more importantly, it was now easier to train new hires.
