HiFlow Solutions has announced the launch of HiFlow Quote, the estimating software designed specifically for folding carton, flexible packaging, corrugated<\/a> and label converters. HiFlow Quote is delivered as standalone estimating software, allowing packaging manufacturers and label converters to implement the system quickly on their existing ERP platforms.<\/p>\n \u201cTraditional estimating workflows depend on internal handoffs between departments, email exchanges, and manual data entry, which slows down the quoting process and creates hidden operational costs,\u201d says Mariusz Sosnowski, CEO, HiFlow Solutions.<\/p>\n \u201cHiFlow Quote removes those bottlenecks by automatically extracting information from order inquiries and generating structured estimates instantly. The system works around the clock, allowing manufacturers to produce accurate quotes faster.\u201d<\/p>\n When requests for quote arrive via email, PDF or portal submission, HiFlow Quote’s AI automatically extracts estimating parameters including product dimensions, substrate specifications, print requirements, quantities, coatings<\/a> and finishes, and delivery timelines. The system also identifies missing information and generates clarification questions automatically, ensuring estimators have complete specifications before pricing.<\/p>\n \u201cSpeed matters in competitive packaging markets,\u201d says Sosnowski. \u201cWhen manufacturers can respond to RFQs quickly with accurate pricing, they improve their chances of winning profitable business.\u201d<\/p>\n HiFlow Quote provides detailed cost breakdowns across materials, labor, machine time, tooling, and overhead\u2014giving manufacturers complete visibility into true job cost and profitability before quotes go to customers. The system optimizes labor utilization, material usage, and imposition layouts while calculating optimal package dimensions and palletization.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHiFlow Quote analyzes complex production variables in seconds, enabling companies to generate accurate quotes faster and compete more effectively,\u201d adds Sosnowski.<\/p>\n The visual, user-friendly interface reduces reliance on tribal knowledge, making the system accessible for new users and experienced estimators alike. By capturing estimating-critical data in a centralized repository, HiFlow Quote ensures that organizational knowledge doesn’t leave when senior estimators retire.<\/p>\n Because HiFlow Quote is built on the same platform as HiFlow ERP, manufacturers can activate additional modules\u2014production scheduling, inventory management, purchase order processing\u2014when business needs justify expansion, without data migration or system replacement.<\/p>\n “We designed HiFlow Quote to solve an immediate problem while eliminating the dead-end trap of standalone software,” said Steve De Benedetto, Business Development Manager. “When manufacturers are ready to expand, the foundation is already in place. No migration. No starting over.”<\/p>\n For more information, product demonstrations, or pricing details, visit https:\/\/hiflowsolutions.com\/hiflow-quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nRFQ to Quote in Minutes<\/h4>\n
