Grow your business with
CalQore in metal fabrication
quoting and work preparation.
Your customers are under pressure: faster RFQ response, consistent pricing, fewer errors, and a clean handoff to production. CalQore fills that gap. Partner with us to deliver a local, rule-driven quoting and work preparation platform that improves throughput and protects customer IP.
Partner benefit: add a high-value offering to your portfolio and create services around configuration, training, and integrations.
Three ways to partner
Choose the partnership model that matches your role and delivery capacity. You can start with one type and expand when your model is stable.
Referral
Partner
Introduce CalQore to metal fabrication companies that want faster and more consistent quoting. You open the door, we handle the sales process and follow-up professionally.
If your customers still rely on spreadsheets or inconsistent estimating, you can offer a clear upgrade path. You bring the opportunity, we close it.
You identify and introduce qualified leads
CalQore runs the demo, proposal, and sales follow-up
Clear feedback loop and transparent lead status updates
Fast onboarding: pitch deck, demo video, and qualification checklist
Solution Partner
Sell and deliver CalQore as a complete solution. You guide customers from demo to go-live, including configuration, training, and first-line support.
Help customers put CalQore to work. Support configuration, training and first-line support, with CalQore providing second-line support.

Technology Partner

Frequently asked questions
1. Which partnership type is right for me?
It depends on how far you want to be involved after the introduction. Referral Partners introduce leads and hand the rest to us: we run the demo, the proposal and the sale. Solution Partners sell and deliver the whole solution, including configuration, training and first-line support, with CalQore behind them for second-line. Technology Partners build and maintain integrations with CAD, CAM, ERP and MRP systems. If you are not sure which fits, start the conversation and we will work it out together.
2. Can I start as a Referral Partner and grow into a Solution Partner later?
Yes. Many partners start by introducing leads while they learn the product and the market response, and take on delivery once they have seen a few implementations up close. Moving up is a conversation, not a new application. Some partners also combine roles, for example delivering solutions in their own region while building an integration as a Technology Partner.
3. How does the commercial model work?
CalQore is sold as a subscription, so partner revenue is recurring rather than one-off. On top of the licence, Solution Partners earn on discovery, configuration, training, integration projects and ongoing optimisation, which is often where the larger part of the value sits. Referral fees and partner margins are set in your partner agreement and depend on the role you take.
4. What do I need to bring as a partner?
A focus on manufacturing and metal fabrication, and customers who quote and prepare work every day. Beyond that we ask for transparent communication about leads and delivery, and respect for the customer’s intellectual property and data security. Solution and Technology Partners commit to real hands-on expertise, because a customer in this market can tell within minutes whether you understand the production environment.
5. What support do I get from CalQore?
Referral Partners receive a pitch deck, a demo video and a qualification checklist, so a first conversation is easy to open. Solution Partners get the enablement to configure and train, with CalQore providing second-line support behind them. Technology Partners work directly with us on data models and technical connectivity, and validated integrations can be taken to market together through co-marketing.
6. How do I become a CalQore partner?
Start with a conversation. We look at your market, your customers and how CalQore sits alongside what you already sell, and we walk you through the platform so you see exactly what you would be representing. If it fits on both sides, we agree the partner type, set up the agreement and plan your first joint demos.
7. Is CalQore cloud-based?
No. CalQore is a Windows desktop application that installs and runs on the customer's own machine. Project data, prices and CAD files stay inside the customer's network. For partners this is a selling point: customers who cannot or will not put their IP in a cloud service have very few alternatives.
8. How do I submit leads?
Through the partner portal or by email to your CalQore contact. You receive confirmation of registration and status updates on every lead you introduce.
9. How do we start an integration discussion?
Book an introduction call. We go through the systems involved, the data model and the handoff moments, and decide together whether it is a joint build or a certified integration on your side.
