Prepare requests for quotation and technical documents with clear checks.

This example workflow shows how an enquiry, technical attachments and revisions could be organised for a quotation. AI supports preparation; engineering, quality and sales review and decide.

Example: From enquiry to reviewed quotation draft

An illustrative workflow for orientation.

  1. Capture the enquiry, technical attachments and revisions

    Input
    Enquiry, drawings, attachments and revision levels
    Processing
    AI assigns documents and revisions to an enquiry case.
    Result
    Intake and document versions are visible for review.
    Responsibility
    AI supports; unclear revisions require clarification
    Hands review engineering drawings and revision documents at a worktable.*
  2. Structure product and service requirements

    Input
    Enquiry with requirements, quantities and deadlines
    Processing
    AI organises requirements, quantities and dates into a reviewable overview.
    Result
    A structured requirements overview is available.
    Responsibility
    AI supports; missing dates or quantities require clarification
  3. Match bill-of-materials items and technical evidence

    Input
    Structured requirements and approved documents
    Processing
    The system supplies approved bill-of-materials items and technical evidence for matching.
    Result
    Document references and open matches are visible.
    Responsibility
    System supplies data; missing evidence requires specialist review
  4. Flag contradictions and outdated details

    Input
    Matched documents, revisions and requirements
    Processing
    AI flags missing, contradictory or outdated information.
    Result
    Clarification points are shown with document references.
    Responsibility
    AI supports; contradictions are not resolved automatically
  5. Review feasibility and costing basis

    Input
    Requirements overview and flagged clarification points
    Processing
    Engineering, quality and sales review feasibility, costing basis and exceptions.
    Result
    Approval, clarification or rejection is documented.
    Responsibility
    A person decides on feasibility, costing, quality statements and approval
    A specialist reviews a technical checklist beside a metal component.*
  6. Hand over the approved quotation draft

    Input
    Approved details and document references
    Processing
    The system hands the approved draft to the quotation process.
    Result
    Quotation draft and evidence references are ready for further handling.
    Responsibility
    System supplies data; no automatic quotation approval

How a possible project starts

AI prepares documents, and approved systems supply data. People decide on feasibility, costing, quality statements and approval. Existing PIM, ERP or DMS integrations are not assumed.

  1. AI readiness check: available

    The self-check with 17 questions in four areas is available. The first assessment remains provisional.

    Start the AI readiness check
  2. Free 30-minute conversation

    After the check, we discuss the specific workflow and possible bottlenecks. You then decide whether to enquire about an analysis.

  3. Analysis before an offer

    In-depth analysis is offered separately as a paid service. Only after you commission it can we see whether preparation is needed, a software proposal makes sense, or no project fits now.
