Pillar 3: High-volume fulfillment
Technical Estimating for Window and Door Manufacturers
Globosmart Services provides outsourced estimating for window and door manufacturers: architectural takeoffs, drawing interpretation and quotes built in WindowMaker, WinHouse and AutoCAD. We have mapped this exact quoting process inside a Canadian manufacturer whose sales consultants spent 60% of their time on quotes, and built the tool that fixed it.
Stop turning your $100k sales closers into $15/hr technical estimators
You hired closers to win contracts. Instead they spend half the day in WinHouse or WindowMaker, buried in architectural drawings and builder specifications.
Most manufacturers have already tried the obvious fix and moved quoting to an offshore team. It usually fails at the handoff, not the software. Field notes arrive inconsistent, the estimators do not understand the product, mistakes reach the customer, and the sales team quietly takes quoting back.
- Delayed quotes lose contracts.
- High-cost talent is wasted on repetitive technical entry.
- Training local staff on NAFS and building envelope standards takes months.
- Growth is capped by how many quotes your team can build by hand.
What we actually do
- Architectural takeoffs and drawing interpretation from plans and builder specs
- Quotes built directly in WindowMaker or WinHouse, ready for your sales team
- AutoCAD detailing and construction drawing review
- Installation pricing alongside the product quote, from the same site data
- Standardised intake, so field measurements arrive complete and consistent
- Production-ready price offers, returned for review before they reach the customer
What we work in: WindowMaker, WinHouse, AutoCAD, WinDoFlow and the ERP your orders already run through.
Why this works when outsourced quoting usually does not
Estimators with engineering and architectural backgrounds
We build the team around your product. For window and door estimating that means people with engineering or architectural backgrounds, trained on your software, your codes and your price lists, with subject matter experts brought in where the work needs them.
A quoting process we have already mapped from the inside
At a Canadian window and door manufacturer we studied the whole chain: field measurement, the office handoff, the offshore quote team, installation pricing and the proposal. We know where it breaks, and we built the tool that fixed its input.
North American standards
Working knowledge of US and Canadian building envelopes, energy-efficient profiles and the specifications builders hand you.
Your software, your workflow
We work inside WindowMaker, WinHouse, AutoCAD and WinDoFlow, and fit the order flow and ERP you already run rather than asking you to change it.
How an engagement starts
Requirements gathered
Your products, codes, software, drawing types and quote formats.
Plan proposed
Team profile, workflow, turnaround and the handoff format your sales team wants.
Team recruited and trained
On your software, your price lists and your past jobs.
Tested before go-live
The team quotes a set of your past jobs and we check the results against your own quotes before any live work.
Live, starting with a pilot
Thirty days, one fixed fee, one agreed milestone. Continue, or walk away with nothing owed.
The 24-hour quoting loop
How overnight becomes your competitive advantage.
Input
You receive architectural drawings or builder specs from your customer and send them to us.
Orchestration
Our estimators interpret the drawings, check feasibility and build the estimate in your software.
Output
Your office receives a production-ready price offer. Your sales team reviews it and closes.
Proof
Quoting process redesign and site measurement app
A Canadian window and door manufacturer
Sales consultants were spending 60% of their time on quotes and the offshore quote team was working from handwriting. We studied the whole quoting chain, then built the app that made every job arrive complete and consistent.

Questions
- Which software do you work in?
- WindowMaker, WinHouse and AutoCAD, plus WinDoFlow and the ERP your orders already flow through. If you run something else, the team is trained on it before any live work.
- What do you need from us?
- Access to your quoting software, your price lists and product codes, a set of past jobs with the quotes you produced, and one person on your side who can answer questions during the first weeks.
- How are errors caught?
- Before go-live the team quotes a set of your past jobs and we check the results against your own quotes. After go-live every price offer goes back to your sales team for review before it reaches the customer, and anything unclear is flagged rather than guessed.
- What does the pilot cost?
- It is scoped on the diagnostic call around your quote volume and product range. Like every Globosmart pilot it is a fixed fee for thirty days, and if it does not work you walk away with nothing owed.
