The Hidden Costs of Manual Quoting

Let’s be honest—pricing curtains and blinds takes time and in many cases are complicated, especially for small companies who are quoting seperatelly every sawing cm/in. Every fabric, heading style, lining choice, and measurement affects the final cost. And when we ask our clients why they are not simplifying the process, the answer is they do not know how, or even more often we hear that that is how their parents were doing for years and they don't know how to cimplify, because their curtain makers are used to the old methods.

The traditional quoting process often involves:

❌ Spreadsheets full of calculations – easy to get wrong!
❌ Manual price adjustments – time-consuming and inconsistent.
❌ Miscalculations leading to profit loss – costly mistakes.

According to industry research, retailers who automate their quoting process can:

✅ Save up to 80% of their quoting time.
✅ Increase conversion rates by up to 30% with faster responses.
✅ Reduce order mistakes to nearly 0%.
