    Map the current RFQ path

    Follow a request from inbox to accepted quote. Note which data is copied manually, which decisions wait for one person and where missing information causes rework.

    Standardize the repeatable work

    CAD analysis, feature extraction, DFM checks and line-by-line calculation can be standardized while the estimator keeps control over exceptions and final approval.

    Measure the result

    Track response time, revision loops, win rate and margin variance before and after the new flow. The goal is faster quotes without weakening technical judgment.

    Bring three historical RFQs and we will identify where time and margin are lost.
