Aluminium roller shutters: pricing, cutting lists and quotes in one program
Width, height and slat type: CUTTER SOFT counts the slats, calculates guide rails, box and tube, weighs the curtain and gives the motor torque.
Why use roller shutter quoting software
For an aluminium joinery workshop, pricing a roller shutter by hand or in a spreadsheet is slow and risky: one wrong cutting formula, one forgotten accessory, one margin applied wrongly, and the job stops making money.
Roller shutter quoting software starts from the dimensions and works out the bill of materials: the length of every profile, the accessories, the motor. It then applies your prices, your extra costs and your margin, and prints the quote. With CUTTER SOFT, it takes a few minutes, from survey to quote.
Enter W × H and the slat type, CUTTER SOFT works out the rest
The software counts the slats from the height, calculates the guide rails, the box, the tube and the bottom slat, then weighs the curtain and gives the required motor torque, in Nm.
You then choose the motor according to the curtain weight and your own rules, whatever the brand or type of motor.
Every slat: foam-filled, extruded, PVC or steel
We set up your shutter system with you: no system imposed.
Foam-filled slats
Foam-filled aluminium slats, with their guide rails, tube and bottom slat.
Extruded slats
For extruded slats, the anti-lift lock can be set on every slat, or every 2, 3 or 4 slats.
Any other slat
PVC, steel or any other type can be set up, with its own cutting formulas.
- Foam-filled slat
- 45 or 55 mm
- Extruded slat
- 55 mm
Multi-length cutting lists: fewer offcuts for shutter makers
Available lengths, limited stock or automatic mode: the software combines several bar lengths on your real stock, and your reusable offcuts go into the optimisation above a threshold you set.

Prices, quotes and projects: the shutter with the window
Prices come out excluding and including VAT, with your price lists, your colours, RAL for example, and your margin; the PDF quote goes out with your logo.
For a joinery workshop, the shutter goes into the same project as the aluminium windows and sliders: one quote, one production sheet. Several workstations work together, each with its role (Administrator, Technician, Operator), and sessions are backed up to Google Drive. CUTTER SOFT is Windows software, for Windows 10 and 11.

How to choose roller shutter quoting software
Five things to check during the trial or the demo:
- it really handles roller shutters (slats, guide rails, tube, box), not just windows;
- it prints a clean quote and cutting sheet, ready for the customer and for the workshop;
- it keeps your price lists and your colours;
- it lets several people work together, with roles and backed-up sessions;
- it saves you time on every quote: that is where the return on investment lies.
