Precision Engineering Machinery (£74M+ turnover)
Dugard
Enterprise Quotation System
In production
The Challenge
Dugard sells precision engineering machines with salesmen working in the field. They were using Excel as a quotation system, which had become cumbersome and offered no real-time visibility from headquarters. They needed a centralised solution that could scale with the business.
The Solution
Cloud-based quotation platform with Azure SQL backend, replacing the Excel process entirely.
Key Modules
- Model Images — all machine imagery stored on Azure Blob, accessible from anywhere
- Technical Specifications — product specs in image format, ready for quotation inclusion
- Live Quote Interface — multi-section customer-facing design with animated rolling screens
- PDF Generation — 15-20 page quotation documents compiled from all quote sections
- Quote Management — admin view of all active quotes with profit margin calculations and custom pricing
Results
- Replaced Excel-based quotation process across the entire field sales team
- Automatic 15–20 page PDF quotation documents compiled from all quote sections
- Real-time quote visibility from headquarters — no more chasing salesmen for updates
- Profit margin calculations and custom pricing controls for management
