PipeCloud enables fast, accurate, and consistent offer creation for multiple spools, factoring in labour, material, and surface treatment costs.
Traditionally, quoting pipe spools relies heavily on paper documents, spreadsheets, and technical drawings. This approach is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors. On the other hand, oversimplifying the quoting process — such as estimating based solely on weight — is risky. The structure of pipe spools can vary significantly, which greatly impacts labor costs in the highly skilled work of pipe fabrication. For example, a straight DN500 pipe with flanges involves much less labor than a complex DN15 spool with multiple branches and bends.
PipeCloud makes it easy to generate accurate and consistent quotes for multiple pipe spools, based on the key cost variables — material, labour time, and surface treatment.
A technology-driven quoting solution like PipeCloud brings remarkable advantages:
All quoted information is centralized in one system, giving internal stakeholders easy access to data and reducing duplicate work across teams.
Historical production data can be used to understand labor costs and identify which projects are most profitable, supporting smarter, more strategic bidding.
Quoting involves many variables, and even small mistakes can mean the difference between winning or losing a project. PipeCloud helps minimize errors and improves overall accuracy in the quoting process.
