Shop A replied
Same morning
A real number, before lunch.
The buyer has a price to act on, and a printer who looks organised.

The first quotewins.
RFQ in. Quote out. 60 seconds.

Not the best printer, not the cheapest. The one who answered while the buyer was still deciding.
Same RFQ
Same RFQ. Two shops.
One buyer sends the identical job to both. Here is the only difference that ends up mattering.
The RFQ, 9:02 AM Tuesday.5,000 tri-fold brochures, 100lb gloss text, 4/4, folded and shipped. Need pricing to award this week.
Shop B replied
Next day
After the estimator got to it.
The quote is careful, competitive, and too late to matter.
The job was awarded before the second quote was opened.

The other shop is not faster. It is just earlier.

Who feels it
Being first pays three people.
For the owner
Stop losing work to shops that answer faster.
The job does not go to the best printer. It goes to the printer who answered first. Quote every RFQ the hour it lands, hold your margin instead of discounting to make up for being late, and look every bit as sharp as the national chain bidding against you.
"We did not lose that job on price. We lost it on Tuesday."
For the estimator
Stop retyping specs and doing arithmetic by hand.
No more rekeying quantities off an email, no more calculator on the desk, no more rebuilding the same job for the fourth time this month. The specs arrive filled in and priced from your own rate card. You review, adjust what needs judgment, and send.
"The math was never the hard part. The typing was."
For the sales team
Give a real number in the room.
Your rep is in a customer's conference room, not at an estimator's desk. They speak or paste the job into their phone and have a ballpark from your rates before the handshake ends. No calling the shop, no promising to follow up tomorrow, no losing momentum on the drive back. The number is real, not a guess you have to walk back later.
"Never say let me get back to you again."

New for 2026Website widget
A salesperson at your front door. All night.
Someone lands on your site at 11pm with a job to place. Today they leave a form and wait until morning, by which point they have asked two other shops. The widget answers them on the spot, in your branding, at your prices. It is new for 2026 and it does not go home.
What you get
Everything an estimator needs. Nothing they don't.
The screen your estimator approves, and the PDF your customer opens. Same numbers, one click apart.
Sits on top of your existing MIS
Nothing gets ripped out. Rip and replace projects take a year, and you do not have a year. Today: Stellogics works alongside any MIS. Approved quotes export in structured form your MIS can take in. Coming: native MIS integrations are in development, starting with Avanti, built with our flagship production customer.
Any source
Inbox, website form, paste/upload, and voice are equal paths. Phone call RFQ? Speak it in, or paste it. Walk in? Upload the file. Same pipeline, same confidence badges, same branded PDF.

Branded PDF quotes
Every quote goes out as a professional PDF with your logo and shop details. On a clean RFQ, that is Run Quote to a sent reply in the same email thread in 3 clicks. When specs need a second look, and they often do, that count goes up.
Multi-quantity breakdowns
One estimate covers 500 / 1,000 / 2,500 (or whatever the client asks for), priced in a single pass.
White-glove setup
From Studio up, we personally set up your catalog and account settings: rates, press thresholds, and MIS connection, configured with you — not left to a self-serve checklist.
