**FAQ:**
- Q: What is SwiftSignQuote?
  A: SwiftSignQuote is sign quoting software that gives sign shops manufacturing-accurate instant pricing calculators. Simple for customers to use, simple to set up, but powered by complex algorithms that calculate every cost component from first principles.
- Q: Who built SwiftSignQuote?
  A: SSQ was built by chartered professional engineers with backgrounds in international mining and energy projects. V1 of the pricing algorithm has been running since early 2019 — as of February 2026, we're on Version 4.
- Q: How does SwiftSignQuote calculate sign prices?
  A: Every quote uses real calculations — sheet nesting for optimal material usage, CNC time, shipping packaging optimisation — not manual fudge factors or complexity multipliers. Every cost component is calculated, not estimated.
- Q: Will SwiftSignQuote replace my employees?
  A: SSQ automates repetitive work like quoting, file preparation, and order packaging — but we encourage sign shops to reallocate staff into production, marketing, and sales rather than replace them. Your existing employees already know the business, and onboarding someone new costs up to 30% of their salary before they start adding value.
- Q: Can SwiftSignQuote handle complex or custom sign products?
  A: Yes. Complex doesn't mean incalculable — it just means more variables. SwiftSignQuote is built on first principles engineering, parameterising every cost component. Any product can be priced automatically. If you're unsure about how, get in touch with us and we can help walk you through it.
