RFQ Intelligence — 4-Scenario Auto-Quoting

Pain Point
RFQ processing requires manual product matching, history lookup, and pricing configuration. Engineers spend hours assembling quotes that should take minutes.
Solution
AI generates quotes across 4 scenarios: standard configuration, custom build, historical reference pricing, and escalation path — automatically matching products and pulling cost data.
Result
RFQ response time from hours to minutes. Consistent quoting across sales teams. Historical intelligence embedded in every quote.
02

Cost Variance Analysis — 3-Layer Drill-Through

Pain Point
Manufacturing cost variance buried in layers of data across production lines, materials, and labor. Excel can't handle the complexity. Root causes invisible until too late.
Solution
AI performs 3-layer drill-through analysis: production line → cost category → root cause. Surfaces material cost spikes, labor inefficiencies, and yield variance in real time.
Result
27% cost variance reduction within the first month. Root causes identified in minutes, not weeks. Continuous monitoring replaces periodic reviews.
03

Capacity Planning

Pain Point
Production scheduling across multiple facilities relies on spreadsheets and coordinator experience. Demand fluctuations and supply constraints handled reactively.
Solution
AI models production capacity against order pipeline, factoring in material lead times, machine utilization, and historical demand patterns.
Result
Proactive capacity allocation. Bottlenecks identified before they cause delays. Better utilization across production lines.

How It Works

01
Connect
Integrate with ERP, MES, and document systems. AI ingests product catalogs, cost structures, and historical quotes.
02
Model
Build product-cost relationships and pricing models from historical data. Map variance drivers across production lines.
03
Automate
RFQ responses generated automatically. Cost anomalies flagged in real time. Capacity constraints surfaced proactively.
04
Iterate
Models improve with every quote and every production run. Accuracy compounds over time.
