New User Experience & Owning Your Instance

Own your instance. That's the shift behind CalcuQuote's new user experience: moving from a vendor-managed product to a platform you configure to match how your business actually quotes. Backed by roughly 1,100 features shipped in 2025, faster support response, and an architecture built for speed, the new UI runs on one principle: automation by default, exception by design.

Key Takeaways

2025 by the numbers

The team grew, and the velocity showed.

  • 1,100 features shipped across the year and faster support
  • Account managers, product managers, plus 10 additional developers added in 2025

  • Response times improved through Q4 and continued into Q1

 

New User Interface

The cutover is firm and the calendar is short.

  • Throughout May, the new interface is enabled for all accounts with a toggle back to the classic UI
  • From June, the toggle is gone and the new UI is the only UI
  • CalcuQuote now has a unified user experience

Automation by default, exception by design

The principle behind the new BOM version history feature.

  • CalcuQuote auto-imports and scrubs the BOM into a CalcuQuoted version
  • Compare back to the original at any time, undo specific changes and more
  • The system learns which reverts to remember

AI-driven Auto-Select: learning on your data only

New Auto-Select options coming over the next few months, with strict data boundaries.

  • Avoid tariffs, minimise PO count, purchase optimisation as new presets
  • The AI learns only within your own instance, never across the customer base
  • Built with CMMC and ITAR requirements in mind

Goal seek, configurable summary, multi-year quoting: all live

Three features now available, all running on the new architecture.

  • Goal seek brings Excel-style solver logic to the summary page (set a target gross profit, the system back-solves the sales price)
  • Summary screen fully configurable by team or segment: columns, field names, formulas, sections
  • Multi-year and budgetary quotes price 2026, 2027, and 2028 in the same RFQ with per-year inflation

Big surfaces being overhauled in the next 12 to 18 months

Continued investment across the platform.

  • Supplier portal redesign, with an open ask for supplier-team feedback
  • Workflows configurable per site and per segment (aerospace, medical)
  • BidCQ overhaul on both buyer and supplier sides, including supplier API auto-population
  • New reporting tool launched in 2025 hooks into SQL and Mongo, replacing legacy reports
  • Advanced labor modelling, development started January, expected end of May
  • Imported custom BOM columns now pass through to vendor bid requests
