Generate accurate proposals and quotes from RFQs and blueprints.

Creating accurate quotes is slow and depends on tribal knowledge.

The Problem

Key challenges in Manufacturing & Construction.

01

Slow RFQ Turnaround

Engineering and sales teams take days to compile detailed cost estimates from customer blueprints and RFQ sheets, losing deals to faster competitors.

02

Inconsistent Cost Estimation

Quotes depend heavily on tribal knowledge, leading to inconsistent margins, pricing errors, and lost profits.

03

Scattered Supplier Catalogs

Calculating cost estimates requires manual lookups of material prices, supplier sheets, and labour rates across multiple spreadsheets.

Operations

Common manual workflows.

These repetitive, manual translation layers are the primary bottlenecks in your daily operations.
