What's preventing a competitor from creating an account?

Most of these work have real person to look and validate the cost. Doing that without account would be too little friction and overwhelm the team.

Right and they already said they have a massive backlog and are trying to increase by 500%.

Yeah mostly we just haven't got around to it as the burning fire is always increasing capacity vs demand. Defo agree we should not require login though!

Most of the ones (for cnc and sheet metal at least) I’ve used do an estimate while you poke around and select options and then you send it for a final validation and quote.
