The processing team manually calculates the Bill of Materials (BOM), cost estimations, and drafts designs on paper before providing a handwritten quotation.
Evolution automates the BOM calculation, cost estimation, and price determination, ensuring quick and accurate design generation. It suggests an optimal selling price based on predefined pricing rules and product specs, producing a professional, error-free quotation report that can be emailed to the customer.
The software can quickly generate accurate representations of the design, BOM and calculate costs based on pre-defined pricing rules and product specifications.
It then automatically suggests the optimal selling price, ensuring consistency and reducing human errors.

The fabricator is manually calculating the cut sizes and hardware requirements using company manuals, leading to time-consuming and error-prone processes.
Evolution uses stored design rules and specifications to instantly generate the correct sizes and quantities, and produces detailed factory reports such as Works Orders, Cutting Lists, and Glass Sizes.
The fabricator experiences high material wastage, resulting in increased costs.
With Evolution’s batch optimisation feature, multiple orders can be combined to improve the yield from each profile bar, reducing waste and costs.
With Evolution, you can generate accurate and timely quotations, improving response times and providing customers with fast, reliable pricing.
By automating calculations and adhering to industry standards, Evolution ensures consistency across all orders, reducing errors and aligning with your product specifications.
Evolution’s optimisation tools help you use materials more efficiently, reducing waste and costs while increasing the overall profitability of your operations.
Our CNC export functionality enables fabricators to send individual orders or full production batches directly to machining centres such as Stuga, Supercut, Haffner, and Schirmers. This streamlines large-scale automated cutting and prepping of aluminium profiles, improving efficiency and reducing manual input.
Evolution can export precise cut sizes, profile references, and colour codes directly to your automatic saw. This enables fast, accurate, and repeatable cutting with minimal manual input.
Evolution can be configured to export data directly to your automatic welder (make/model and profile suite specified). This setup ensures product designs are transferred with the correct orientation and welding parameters.
Evolution can generate a CSV file with sales invoice details for selected jobs, ready to import directly into your accounting software. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) ensures smooth, standardised data exchange to streamline financial processes.
Evolution’s Glass EDI export streamlines the ordering process between uPVC manufacturers and glass suppliers by sending precise specifications directly from your design software. This eliminates manual entry, reduces admin, and speeds up production.
