QuoteCam - quoting and estimating for machined parts

"It is not often that I draw attention to an article that is published in the magazine,
but I have to mention the first story in the Better Production section of this issue entitled “How good are your Quotes?

A new and inexpensive software program called QuoteCam has been released which easily allows the business owner to see exactly what the real cost of manufacture is, and therefore to know precisely how much profit will be generated from each job.

Cost accounting is too important to be left to the accountants. "
