Moulding quote builder
Tooling, cavities, shot weight, cycle time, press rate, setup, packing and freight at any number of quantity breaks.
Plastic moulding software: quotes, tooling & job tracking
Plastic moulders: quote the tool and the run, the same way every time. Drawings in, quotes out.
Quotes live in the estimator's head and a spreadsheet only he understands. Drawings turn up in five inboxes, customers can't work out why the tool costs more than the parts and nobody's sure which press their job is on. We build quoting, production and tool systems for plastic moulders that all talk to each other, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for injection moulding quote software that also runs the floor?
A moulding quote is never just one number. There's the tool, the steel and the cavities. Then there's shot weight, resin and masterbatch, cycle time, press tonnage, setup, packing and freight, all at three or four quantity breaks. Most moulders do it in a spreadsheet that's been patched for ten years and only one person trusts. Once the job's won it moves to a whiteboard, the tool goes on a rack and the history of that part lives in somebody's email.
Wollopit builds custom software around how your moulding shop actually runs. Enquiries come in with their drawings attached and every revision kept. Quotes are built from your own machine rates, material prices and cycle times, so two estimators get the same answer. Won jobs drop onto a press schedule, tools carry their shot counts and maintenance history and customers reorder approved parts without a fresh quote. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from plastic moulders
Does your plastic moulding business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most moulders we talk to make good parts on good presses and run the office on spreadsheets, email and memory. It holds up fine until the estimator goes on leave.
- The problemQuotes come from memoryEvery estimator prices a little differently. The same part gets quoted two ways a month apart and margins drift without anyone noticing.How we fix itA structured quote builder using your own machine rates, material costs, cycle times and setup charges. Same inputs, same price, every time.
- The problemDrawings scattered across inboxesSTEP files, PDFs and marked-up sketches arrive by email. Someone quotes off Rev B while Rev C sits in another inbox.How we fix itAn enquiry portal where customers upload drawings per part. Every revision is kept and the quote is locked to the one it was priced from.
- The problemCustomers confused by tooling vs piece priceThey see a big tooling number, panic and ring to ask why their clip costs so much. Or they forget the tool was a one-off.How we fix itClear quote documents that separate tooling, T1 samples and unit price at each quantity break, with tool ownership spelled out.
- The problemChasing toolmaker quotesTool quotes from the local toolroom or overseas makers come back by email at different times in different formats.How we fix itSend tool RFQs from the enquiry, collect the replies in one place and compare steel, cavities, lead time and cost side by side.
- The problemResin prices move, quotes don'tPolypropylene went up last quarter but half the open quotes still use last year's price per kilo.How we fix itA material library with current price per kilo, masterbatch, additives and regrind allowance. Quotes flag when a material has moved since they were priced.
- The problemWhere are my parts?Customers ring for an update and someone walks out to the floor to look at the press.How we fix itJob tracking from order to dispatch, with progress logged at the press and a customer portal showing where their order is.
- The problemThe press schedule lives on a whiteboardWhich job goes on which press, when the mould change happens and whether the 250 tonne is free next week is anyone's guess.How we fix itA press schedule board matched to tonnage and tool fit, with mould changes, drying time and clashes shown before they happen.
- The problemTool records nobody keepsShot counts are a guess, maintenance happens when something breaks and nobody's sure which tools on the rack belong to customers.How we fix itA tool register with shot counts, service intervals, repair history, rack location and who owns each tool.
- The problemRepeat runs get re-quotedA customer wants another 10,000 of the same lid and it goes back through the whole quoting process.How we fix itSaved parts with agreed pricing and approved revisions, so repeat orders go straight to scheduling.
- The problemQuality records on paperFirst-off checks, dimension sheets and resin batch numbers sit in a folder. A customer complaint means an afternoon of digging.How we fix itFirst-off and in-process checks on a tablet at the press, linked to the job, the tool and the resin lot for full traceability.
- The problemResin runs out mid-runThe job's on the press and the hopper's nearly empty because nobody checked stock against the schedule.How we fix itResin and masterbatch stock worked out from scheduled jobs, with reorder alerts before a run is short.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole moulding shop, on one system.
These are the systems moulders ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Job quoting
Tooling and run quotes, consistent every time.
Build quotes from your own numbers instead of someone's memory. Tooling, material, cycle time, press rate and setup all feed one calculation, at as many quantity breaks as the customer wants. Any estimator gets the same answer and you can see exactly where the margin sits.
- Tooling cost with cavities and steel
- Shot weight, runner and regrind
- Cycle time and press hourly rates
- Setup, mould change and drying time
- Masterbatch and additives
- Packing, labour and freight
- Multiple quantity breaks
- Margin shown per line
- Quotes locked to a drawing revision
- Win and loss tracking
Enquiries & drawings
Every drawing, every revision, one place.
Customers upload their part drawings through a simple portal or the enquiry form on your website. Files sit with the enquiry, revisions are tracked and the quote always knows which version it was priced from. Toolmaker RFQs go out from the same screen.
- Drawing uploads per part
- STEP, IGES and PDF files kept together
- Revision history with dates
- Quote tied to the priced revision
- Notes and questions per enquiry
- Toolmaker RFQs sent from the enquiry
- Tool quotes compared side by side
- Follow-up reminders on open quotes
- Confidential files kept secure
Production & press schedule
Every press, every job, live on the floor.
Won quotes become jobs on a press schedule matched to tonnage and tool fit. Operators log progress, scrap and downtime on a tablet at the press so the office and the customer always know where an order sits.
- Drag and drop press schedule
- Tonnage and tool fit checks
- Mould changes and drying time
- Progress logged at the press
- Scrap and downtime records
- Resin demand from scheduled jobs
- First-off checks before the run
- Resin lot linked to each job
- Dispatch and packing lists
- Shown on a screen on the floor
Tool register
Know every tool on the rack.
Every mould gets its own record with shot counts, service history and rack location. Maintenance comes up before the tool fails and customer-owned tools are clearly marked, so nobody argues about whose it is when a job moves on.
- Shot counts from job runs
- Service intervals and alerts
- Repair and modification history
- Rack and storage location
- Customer-owned or in-house
- Tool photos and drawings
- Linked to every part it runs
- Tool transfer records
Customer portal & reorders
Customers reorder approved parts themselves.
Customers log in to see their quotes, approve T1 samples and check where their orders are. Approved parts can be reordered at agreed pricing in a couple of clicks, with invoices flowing straight into Xero or MYOB.
- Saved parts with agreed pricing
- Reorders without a new quote
- T1 sample approvals
- Order status from the floor
- Drawing and revision history
- Delivery and dispatch updates
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Multiple logins per customer

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your plastic moulding business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with your estimator, beside the presses and in the office, then work out where quotes and jobs get stuck.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your rates, materials, presses, tools, customers, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually quoting first, so you get a win before the next big enquiry lands.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things plastic moulders ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it build a quote straight from a part drawing?
The drawing comes in with the enquiry and stays attached to the quote. Your estimator still makes the calls on cavities, press and cycle time, but the system does the maths from your own rates and material prices. That way every quote is built the same way.
Can we show tooling and unit prices separately?
Yes. Quotes split tooling, T1 samples and unit price at each quantity break. Tool ownership and terms are written in so customers know exactly what they're paying for.
Can customers reorder parts without a new quote?
Yes. Approved parts can be reordered at agreed pricing. The order goes straight to the press schedule instead of back through quoting.
Can it track customer-owned tools?
Yes. Every tool has a record showing who owns it, where it's racked, its shot count and its service history.
Do we have to switch from our current systems?
No. If Cin7, Unleashed, Xero or MYOB are doing their job, we build around them. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Are our customers' drawings kept secure?
Yes. Drawings sit on our own managed servers with logins for your team and each customer only sees their own parts.
How much does a moulding system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
A quote builder or enquiry portal can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most plastic moulders we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
