About Uptool

Uptool was founded in 2024 in San Mateo, California⁶, and came out of stealth in February 2026 with a $6M seed round from Khosla, Eclipse, Bessemer and Kleiner². It reads a shop's quoting inbox, CAD, drawings and BOMs, and has material and operation calculators and a dashboard for revisions and messages. Its plans continue with CRM and job tracking, then purchasing, inventory, scheduling and shipping³⁴. If QuickBooks sync matters most to you today, that is a point for Uptool.

Next to a spreadsheet

Most shops quote in a spreadsheet

In a CNCCookbook survey, spreadsheets led "by a wide margin", followed by the "eyeball guestimate"¹. On Practical Machinist: "Excel or Open Office Calc are what most people use"², and "there is no software in between spreadsheets and the big players like E2 and JobBoss"³.

What a spreadsheet does well

It's free, and you already have it.
It's set up with your own rates and the way you think about a job.
It does exactly what you tell it, with no new tool to learn.

Keep it for what it's good at: QuotedPart exports quotes and orders as CSV and Excel.

What QuotedPart adds

Reads the PDF drawing: part number, revision, material, finish, tolerances and notes.
Measures the STEP model: stock size, holes, pockets, setups and turned features.
Prices every quantity break, with lower run times on bigger lots.
Sends a quote page with your logo, or a PDF. The buyer picks a quantity and accepts with a PO.
Shows when the buyer opened the quote, and keeps won and lost quotes with the reason.
Finds similar parts you quoted before.
Every estimator prices from the same rates and formulas.

About the team and the company

Quoting software for bigger shops is sold through demos, setup fees and multi-year contracts. We think a small shop should be able to see the price, run a part it has already quoted, and decide in an afternoon.
If a quote comes out wrong, email me the part. We'll look at it with you and fix the estimate.
