Manufacturing Estimating & Quoting

No. This is a build-to-order app. ECOSIRE builds it as a per-tenant AL extension, tailors it to your routing centers, costing method, and approval rules, then installs and supports it on your Business Central environment. There is no public AppSource listing to download — you buy the build and we deliver and deploy it for you.

Typical delivery is about 2 to 4 weeks from the kickoff call, depending on how many custom cost categories, pricing tiers, and approval levels you need. We start in your sandbox, run UAT with your estimators, then promote to production. We confirm a firm date after a short scoping call once you order.

The one-time build price covers the extension, installation, UAT, training, and a warranty period for fixes. Because it is a per-tenant extension, Microsoft's monthly BC platform updates do not break it the way customizations can — but we offer an optional support retainer to test against new BC releases, add cost categories or pricing rules, and extend the API as your process grows.

Yes. The estimate lines read from your live Item, Work Center, and Machine Center setup and respect your costing method (standard, average, FIFO, etc.). We map the app to your existing data during scoping so estimates reflect real, current costs rather than a parallel set of numbers.

Yes. The app exposes estimates and lines through custom BC API pages over OData v4 / REST, secured by a dedicated permission set. Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, or an external CPQ/quoting portal can read and (where permitted) write estimate data. A Dataverse virtual-table option is available for model-driven apps.

You receive the AL source project and the extension is licensed to your tenant. Built as a proper extension using table/page extensions and event subscribers — with no modification of Microsoft's base objects — it survives BC's monthly updates far better than legacy customizations. We can still regression-test it for you against major releases under a support agreement.
