Quote any kitchen in minutes — and know the margin before it goes out.
Quoting is where deals are won or lost, and where margins quietly leak. A designer keys the same cabinets by hand for the third time, misses a promo, forgets the install line, and the quote goes out light. Equilibrium was built by cabinet dealers to make quoting fast, accurate, and margin-safe — so your team quotes more kitchens with fewer errors.
Quote from your real catalogs, not from memory
- Import straight from design. Pull kitchens in from 2020 Design (now Cyncly) and ProKitchen, or bring items in from SpecBooks or Excel — no re-keying the cabinet list.
- Quote from maintained catalogs. Every product you sell — cabinets, tops, hardware, plumbing, flooring, labor — priced from catalogs that stay current. (See Manufacturer Catalogs →)
- Centralized pricing control. Manage cost factors, install pricing, and promotions from one panel, so a price change updates everywhere instead of in fifteen spreadsheets.
Where design software prices the cabinets, EQ assembles the total package price of the whole job — cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, flooring, and labor — in one quote. One number, every component, nothing forgotten.
Unlimited versions, professional documents
Customers change their minds. EQ keeps every version of a quote, so you can move between “the original,” “the value-engineered one,” and “the one they actually bought” without digging through email. Then print, email, or hand over polished, all-in-one estimates, proposals, and contracts — with 17 proposal and 17 contract layouts to choose from, depending on how much detail you want the customer to see.
Margin protection built into the quote
This is the part generic estimating tools miss. In EQ, the owner is in control of the margin every quote is priced at — and EQ validates quotes and orders at any point in the process, so the back office never has to chase the sales team for missing information:
- Set the margin, and who can approve it. Owners control the margin a quote goes out at and whether it can be approved.
- Lock a floor by role. Lock a minimum margin so a salesperson can’t price below it — controlled by each person’s role.
- Credit holds. Customers on hold can’t get a quote out the door, even from a remote showroom.
Our sales team can accurately quote and order any kitchen in minutes using Equilibrium. That puts us light years ahead of our competition.

By reducing errors and having tight control over mark ups we had already seen an improvement in gross profit margins.

Where quoting connects
A quote in EQ isn’t a dead end — it becomes the order, the POs, the schedule, and the job. Quote once; the rest of the operation runs off it. See Purchasing → and Job Management →
