Select the compliant fan. Quote it in the same breath.
FQMan checks airflow, pressure, envelope, sound and electrical constraints against your own catalogue, ranks what actually qualifies, and turns the result into a reviewed, revision-controlled quote — no spreadsheets, no manual fan-law math, no guessing.
Free during early access · No credit card required
Most HVAC quoting still runs on manual cross-referencing
Fan selection and quote-building usually live in different tools, done by different people, checked by no one.
Selection by memory, not by spec
Airflow and pressure get eyeballed against a paper catalogue or an old spec sheet, and fan-law adjustments for off-reference speeds get skipped or done by hand.
Ancillary items go missing or loose
Flanges, isolators, and mounting kits get forgotten, or added as disconnected line items that don't read as belonging to the fan they're for.
No one can say which version was sent
Quotes get revised over email with no formal history, so it's unclear which PDF the customer actually has — or whether anyone reviewed it first.
One workflow, from duty requirement to signed-off quote
Every screen below is the actual product, not a mockup of what it might look like.
Interrogate your whole catalogue, not just the obvious picks
Enter the duty requirement once — airflow, static pressure, envelope, sound limit, electrical supply, efficiency class — and FQMan checks every product against every constraint, applying fan law calculations to derive real performance at your actual operating point.
- Non-compliant results stay visible with the exact reason they failed
- Ranking defaults to lowest compliant cost, override any time
- Keep a primary and an alternate together on the same quote
| Constraint | Required | IL 100-EC |
|---|---|---|
| Operable speed range | — | ✓ 95% of ref. |
| External static pressure | ≥ 250 Pa | ✓ 512 Pa |
| Sound limit | ≤ 50 dB | ✓ 42 dB |
| Electrical supply | 240V 1ph | ✓ Match |
Ancillary items stay attached to the fan they belong to
Add products by browsing the catalogue or running a guided selection — both land in the same quote. Attach flanges, isolators, and mounting kits directly to their parent fan line, and they're presented as ancillary items, not disconnected rows.
- Totals, GST, and per-line subtotals calculate themselves
- Internal and external products handled with the right vendor settings for each
- Every product links back to its full technical datasheet
| Product | Qty | Unit Price | Subtotal |

| IL 100-EC Eco-Watt Mixed-Flow Inline Duct Fan |
2 | $233.00 | $466.00 |
| ↳ Flange Kit — Inlet 450mm | 2 | $84.00 | $168.00 |
| RZR35-SK Ziehl-Abegg Axial Fan |
1 | $1,240.00 | $1,240.00 |
Nothing reaches a customer without sign-off
Every quote moves through the same sequence — enquiry, drafting, internal review, issued, then won or lost. Internal review is a required gate: a quote can't move to issued until a reviewer is assigned.
- One action button always shows the next required step
- Status is visible at a glance across every open quote
- Follow-up tasks and reminders live on the quote itself
A quote document that matches exactly what was selected
Generate a customer-facing PDF straight from the quote — summary page, itemised schedule, and a technical appendix with performance curves plotted at the real duty point. Every revision is retained, so there's always one clear version of the truth.
- Only customer-facing sheets are included — nothing internal leaks in
- Sequential quote numbering, with superseded revisions kept on file
- Export to spreadsheet for internal use, any time

Built around where quoting actually goes wrong
Fewer wrong-fan mistakes
Every result is checked against your stated duty, not just picked because it's the closest match by eye.
Hours back per quote
No manual fan-law calculations, no re-typing specs into a document that someone else has to format.
One version of the truth
Revision history means no one's ever quoting against a superseded PDF sitting in an old email.
Nothing issued without sign-off
Internal review is a required step in the workflow, not a policy that lives on paper somewhere.
Ancillary items priced right
Accessories stay attached to their parent fan on the quote, not floating around as unexplained extra lines.
Documents customers trust
Performance curves and specs come from the same data that was actually selected — not a separate manual step.
Built for the teams doing the actual selling

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FQMan?
FQMan is a fan selection and quoting application built for HVAC manufacturing teams. It checks your stated duty requirements against your product catalogue, ranks technically compliant equipment, and turns the result into a reviewed, branded quotation.
How does the fan selection engine decide what's compliant?
You enter the duty requirement — airflow, external static pressure, and constraints like envelope, sound limit, electrical supply, and efficiency class. FQMan checks every product in your catalogue against each constraint, applies fan law calculations to derive performance away from the catalogue reference point, and only surfaces products that pass every check.
Can I keep an alternate option alongside my primary selection?
Yes. Set one compliant result as the primary selection and another as an alternate, and FQMan retains both on the quote together, with a reason captured for each for later review.
Does FQMan replace my ERP or CRM?
No. FQMan focuses specifically on fan selection, quote building, and quote management. It's designed to sit alongside your existing ERP or CRM, with integrations planned as the product develops.
Is FQMan free?
FQMan is currently free during early access. Pricing for the full release has not been finalized.
Can multiple people on my team work on the same quote?
Yes. Quotes move through a shared workflow — enquiry, drafting, internal review, issued, won or lost — so a quote isn't stuck in one person's inbox, and nothing reaches a customer without the required review step.
When will FQMan be available?
FQMan is currently in early access. Book a demo to see it against your own catalogue and be notified as general availability opens up.
