Quotes, sales orders, customers and purchasing live in one Front Counter — wired to the same inventory and production that stock your machines. Price the work, confirm the deadline, build it, buy for it and ship it without re-keying a thing.
Each step hands clean data to the next. The quote becomes the order, the order becomes the work, the work pulls the purchasing — and shipping writes the traceability record.

A quote is a formal price offer — nothing is reserved or built yet. Every line shows the part's unit cost next to your price, so you never quote below cost by accident.
A sales order is the real commitment: these goods, by this date. Before you confirm, MyToolBox runs the math on whether you can actually make it.

Everyone you sell to lives on one page — company, main contact, open quotes and orders, and the revenue they've brought in. Fill in payment terms once and they print on every document.
Net 30 print automatically on quotes and orders.Purchase orders sit right next to sales in the Front Counter. The platform already knows what your open work orders consume, so it can do the buying math for you.
Tick the production orders to plan for and the system calculates gross requirement, on-hand, on-order and the resulting Net Need — then groups shortages into one draft PO per supplier.
Every PO carries supplier part numbers and costs from a catalog that only shows what that supplier sells. Receiving puts material into stock and keeps your costing honest.
Sales doesn't live in a silo. The same demand that confirms an order drives production, and the same stock that ships an order is the inventory in your machines.
Confirmed orders generate the work orders, BOM demand and live schedule on the Manufacturing & ERP side. Quote it here, build it there.
Allocation reserves the same finished goods and materials your vending and inventory track — ship-ready means stock-ready.
Shipping writes lot and heat numbers to the transaction log, and orders offer a Certificate of Conformance button for quality sign-off.
Customers, quotes, orders and POs share the inventory and costing that run the floor — change it once, it's right everywhere.
Every quote line shows cost beside price. You know the margin before the customer does, not after the invoice.
Feasibility and readiness checks catch the over-promise and the shortfall before they become a late shipment.
Auto-PO turns real production demand into draft purchase orders per supplier — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
The Front Counter is the one screen for buying and selling — open POs, open orders, quotes still waiting on an answer, and a "needs attention" strip so nothing sits forgotten.From the MyToolBox Front Counter
We'll price it with live margin, confirm the deadline, generate the work orders, auto-PO the material and ship it — in one sitting, on real data.
