BeamQuote is a local-first quoting workspace for small laser shops and makers. Build estimates from material cost, cut and engraving time, setup, labor, packaging, waste, failure allowance, marketplace fees, and target margin. Undercharge Guard highlights missing cost categories. Save customers, materials, and machines, turn accepted quotes into job records, and export saved quotes. Calculations are estimates based on the values entered; no account is required for the core workflow.

Hi Product Hunt — I built BeamQuote for small laser shops and makers who need more than a generic calculator when preparing job quotes. The workflow brings material cost, cut and engraving time, setup time, labor, packaging, waste, failure allowance, marketplace fees, and target margin into one quote. Undercharge Guard calls out missing cost categories, while saved customers, materials, and machine profiles reduce repeated entry. Accepted quotes can become job records, and saved quotes can be exported through the native PDF/share workflow. BeamQuote is local-first and does not require an account for its core workflow. Its calculations are estimates based on the values entered; final pricing, machine operation, safety, tax, and accounting decisions remain with the user. I would especially value feedback from laser-shop owners on which cost category is easiest to miss and which part of the quote-to-job workflow takes the most time today.

The Undercharge Guard alone is worth it, I have definitely lost money on quotes before because I forgot to factor in waste. Love that everything runs locally without needing an account.
