Type it in. Then type it again.
It works, and it holds your rates. Not your calls. So you copy the last close quote, key in the new print and make the calls again. The ERP keeps the quote. It doesn't write it, so you type it in there too.
CNC quoting software: Quote more CNC jobs. Estimate once.
Veriti is CNC quoting software for machine and job shops. It drafts the quote from the customer's drawing with your rates and rules. Make the call once, save it, and every quote it fits already knows.

A day of CNC quoting
Every RFQ lands on your desk.
7 AM. The inbox is full, and the oldest RFQ came in last Friday. You open a print, read it for the catch, key it into the sheet and make the same calls you made last week. A buyer emails for an update. The plater hasn't gotten back to you. The floor needs you. By 5 PM a few quotes are out, and the pile is taller than at 7.
You're not slow.
Your calls don't stick.

On quote 1 of 14
Veriti is built for the estimator at a CNC machine shop or job shop: the person who reads the print, builds the routing, looks up the rates and keys the quote into the ERP. Buyers often send one RFQ to several shops, and they don't wait. Give the estimator a head start, and the owner gets more quotes out the door, even on the days the estimator is out.
- 7:10 AM
Every callout, keyed in by hand.
Title block, notes, tolerances, finish. You catch what matters, then key each detail into the sheet and look up the rates.
- 9:40 AM
Same call, every quote.
17-4 runs slow. That bore needs a grind. This customer wants certs and a first article. You know it, and you add it again by hand every time. Forget once, and the shop eats it.
- 1:15 PM
Then you type it all into the ERP.
The quote lives in your spreadsheet. The ERP needs it too, so you type it in again and hope no cell got fat-fingered.
- 6:15 PM
The pricing lives in your head.
It's what makes you good at this. It's also why you're still here after the shift, and why quotes wait when you're out. There was never time to write the calls down.
Why quotes don't match
One drawing.
Five prices.
Pull up every price your shop has put on one part. Last year's. Yours. The backup's, from the week you were out. The owner's second look. The new hire's. Some gaps are right: the bar went up, the new lathe is faster. No quote says which, so when the buyer asks why, you rebuild the answer from memory.

Every call gets made. Few get written down.
How Veriti drafts a CNC quote
It reads the drawing.
You start from a draft.
Every line shows its work.
You make the call.
Your call sticks.
- 01 · Read Veriti reads the title block, notes, tolerances, GD&T and finishes, and pins every detail that moves the price to the spot it came from. If something isn't on the print, it doesn't guess. It asks you.
- 02 · Draft Veriti lays out the quote the way you do: operations, hours, rates, outside vendors, material and margin, priced with your shop's own rates and rules. No blank sheet.
- 03 · Show work You still read every print. Now you check a draft against it. Click any line to see the drawing feature, the note and the rule that priced it, so you can back up every number.
- 04 · Correct Something off for your shop? Change it and say why, in a few words. When someone asks later, the answer is on the quote. Veriti asks if it should become a shop rule.
- 05 · Next job The next 17-4 job comes in priced your way and says which rule it used. You made that call once. You don't type it in again.
Veriti drafts. You decide.

Same drawing, same price
Ask twice.
Get the same price.
Veriti gives the same price for the same drawing details and the same rules, whoever runs it and whenever. A general-purpose chatbot can give you a different number every time you ask. Veriti splits the job in two: AI reads the drawing, then a pricing engine applies your rules and does the arithmetic.
General-purpose chatbot Different every run

- Run 1 $10,389 inputs saved
- Run 2 $10,389 inputs saved
- Run 3 $10,389 inputs saved
Demo. Chatbot figures illustrate repeated runs of one drawing through a general-purpose chatbot. Veriti saves the details and rules behind every quote, so the same inputs give the same number.

Works with your inbox and JobBOSS²
Email in. JobBOSS² out.
Nobody types it twice.
Same inbox at 7 AM, same RFQs by email. You start from Veriti's draft, fix what's off and approve it, and it goes into JobBOSS² as a quote. Your day goes to the judgment, not the keying. Not on JobBOSS²? Veriti still drafts and traces every quote. Ask us how approved quotes get into your system.
01 · Your inbox
RFQs arrive like they always have.
Customers email a drawing, same as today. Veriti picks it up. No portal for them to learn.
02 · Veriti + you
Drafted by Veriti. Approved by you.
Nothing goes out without your name on it. Veriti is the head start, not the signature.
03 · JobBOSS²
Approved quotes go into JobBOSS².
Pushed in as a quote. You don't type it in again.
Every change is logged
Who changed what, when, from what to what, and the reason they gave. When a job goes sideways, the reason it was priced that way is on the quote.
Your rules stay yours
Each shop's rules and data are walled off from every other shop's. What you teach Veriti prices your quotes and nobody else's.
No scripting language
You teach Veriti by quoting and correcting drafts. Not by writing code or waiting on a consultant.
It doesn't fill in blanks
If a detail isn't on the print, Veriti flags it for you instead of guessing.
On-site setup
Built in Michigan.
Set up on your floor.
Veriti sets up in person, wherever your shop is. We're headquartered in Jackson, Michigan, and we come to you. We learn how you price, run Veriti beside your current process on real RFQs, and you go live in under a month.
- Step 1
We sit at your quoting desk
On your floor, not over video. We learn how you price: your rates, your vendors, your rules of thumb.
- Step 2
Veriti drafts beside you
It drafts your real RFQs while you keep quoting the way you do now. For a few weeks you do both, so you can check its drafts before you trust any of them.
- Step 3
Your calls become rules
When a draft is off, you correct it and say why. Every fix you save becomes a shop rule.
- Step 4
You go live
Every quote starts from a draft, and approved quotes go into JobBOSS². That's under a month from the first visit.
Headquartered in Jackson, Michigan. We set up on your floor, wherever your shop is in the US.
Questions from estimators and owners
CNC quoting questions,
answered.
What is CNC quoting software?
CNC quoting software, also called machine shop estimating software, turns a customer's RFQ, usually a drawing and a quantity, into a priced quote: operations, hours, material, outside processing and margin. Veriti is CNC quoting software for machine and job shops. It reads the customer's drawing, drafts the quote with your shop's own rates and rules, and shows where every number came from. The estimator checks it and sends it.
How do you quote CNC parts faster?
Stop typing the same things twice. Veriti reads each drawing and drafts the quote with your rates and rules, so you correct a draft instead of keying in the print. A correction saved as a shop rule applies to later quotes it fits, and approved quotes go into JobBOSS² without retyping. More RFQs get answered with the hours you already have.
Will AI replace estimators?
Not the judgment. With Veriti, AI drafts the quote and the estimator makes the call: they check each line against the print, change what's off, give a reason and approve it. Nothing goes out without their approval. Every detail in the draft is pinned to the spot on the print it came from, so the estimator's time goes to checking and judgment instead of keying.
Can AI read an engineering drawing well enough to quote from it?
Well enough to draft from, with you checking. Veriti reads the title block, notes, tolerances, GD&T and finishes on the customer's drawing and pins every pricing detail to the spot on the print it came from. If something the price depends on isn't called out, like a plating thickness, Veriti flags it instead of guessing, so the question goes to the customer before the quote goes out.
How does Veriti learn how my shop prices?
At setup, from your rates, vendors and rules of thumb. After that, from your corrections. When you change a line, you type a reason (a few words is enough), and it stays on the quote for whoever asks why later. Veriti asks whether the change should become a shop rule, such as "17-4 PH runs 1.25 times normal run time." Saved rules apply to later quotes they fit.
How is Veriti different from a machine shop quoting spreadsheet?
A machine shop quoting spreadsheet holds your rates and the math, but you still key in each print's details and remake the same pricing calls on every quote. Veriti reads the drawing, fills in the details with where each one came from, and applies your shop's rules. You check the draft against the print. When you correct a line, the fix can become a shop rule.
Why not ask an AI chatbot to price the part?
You can, but ask twice and you may get two different numbers, with no record of why. Veriti splits the job. AI reads the drawing and proposes the details, then a pricing engine applies your shop's rules and does the arithmetic. The same details and rules give the same price, every line shows where it came from, and the inputs behind every quote are saved.
Does Veriti work with JobBOSS² and our RFQ email?
Yes. RFQs keep arriving by email the way they do now, and your customers never have to learn a portal. Veriti picks up the drawing and drafts the quote. Once you approve it, it goes into JobBOSS² (JobBOSS 2) as a quote, so nobody has to double-enter it. Running a different ERP? Email sales@getveriti.com to ask what works today.
How do you keep pricing consistent between estimators?
Write the calls down where every quote uses them. In Veriti, AI reads the drawing, then a pricing engine applies your shop's rules and does the math the same way every time. The same details and rules give the same price, whoever runs the quote. Every change is logged with its reason, so when two prices differ, you can see why.
Our senior estimator is retiring. How do we keep the way they price?
Start while they're still here. With Veriti, your senior estimator reviews drafts on real RFQs and corrects what's off. Each correction comes with a reason and can be saved as a plain-English shop rule, so the way they price 17-4, tight tolerances or outside processing stays in your shop's rules after they leave. The next estimator starts from that judgment.
How long does setup take?
Under a month. We set up in person, wherever your shop is in the US. We sit with you at the quoting desk to learn your rates, vendors and rules of thumb. Then Veriti drafts your real RFQs while you keep quoting as usual, so you can check every number. Saved corrections become shop rules, then you go live. We're headquartered in Jackson, Michigan, and we come to you.
Who can see our shop's pricing rules?
No other shop. Each shop's rules and data in Veriti are walled off from every other shop's, so what you teach Veriti prices your quotes and nobody else's. Every change is logged: who made it, when, what it did to the price and the reason they gave.
Why we built Veriti
The best estimator in the building shouldn't be keying in callouts.
If you quote for a shop, you know the day. A lot of it goes to reading prints, keying the callouts into a sheet and making calls you already made last week. The judgment gets whatever time is left.
We built Veriti to take the first pass, not the judgment. It reads the drawing and drafts the quote. You correct it, and a fix you save as a rule is there on every quote it fits. You make that call once.
Veriti isn't here to replace you. It's here so you can get ahead of the inbox, and so what you know stays in the shop on the days you're not.
We're headquartered in Jackson, Michigan. Wherever your shop is, we'd like to come see how you quote.
