Implementation

    Implementation and calibration, built for your company

    Glintify is not a product you buy and start using. It is a system built for you, based on your machines, your materials and your pricing logic. It normally takes 6-12 weeks to go from zero to first quote.

    // Four phases

    From a pile of quotes to an automated flow

    Each phase builds on the previous one. No phase is left until the estimator is confident in the result.

    Week 1-2

    Historical quote analysis

    We analyze your old quotes to understand your pricing logic. By comparing outcomes against calculations, we identify your real costs, material markups, hourly rates, machine setups and volume discounts. This is where we build the base model.

    • Collection of 20-50 historical quotes
    • Comparison between calculated and actual outcome
    • Identification of pricing logic per customer segment
    • Gap analysis: where does the system differ from reality?

    Week 2-5

    Machine calibration

    Your machines are fed with real data: speed tables, material libraries, tool geometries and DFM thresholds. Each process gets its own configuration, laser, plasma, punching, bending, welding, CNC. The system must price exactly as you would.

    • Machine fleet: hourly rates, speeds, setup times
    • Material: your standards, sheet formats, waste factors
    • Tool library: bending tools, punching tools, grippers
    • DFM thresholds: minimum hole, minimum flange, minimum radius
    • Process rules: which machine does what at a given thickness?

    Week 4-8

    Test run

    We run 5-10 of your typical parts through the system. The same parts you quoted manually. Every price is compared line by line, material, processes, setups, surface finish. Differences are analyzed and the model is adjusted until the outcome matches.

    • 5-10 typical parts covering your range
    • Line-by-line comparison against your manual calculations
    • Adjustment of parameters until the difference is under 5%
    • Acceptance test: the estimator approves or flags

    Week 6-12

    First quote and rollout

    The first quote is run live with manual review before sending. As the system proves accurate, the level of automation is increased step by step. You decide the pace.

    • Phase 1: review all quotes manually
    • Phase 2: review only deviations over 10%
    • Phase 3: auto-send for simple parts
    • Full production: the system owns the pricing logic, you own the control
    // Timeline

    6-12 weeks, from zero to first quote

    The time depends on process breadth, data quality and how many pricing rules need to be calibrated. You run in parallel with your current way of working until the first quote is verified.

    // Pricing logic

    Your rules. Your margins.

    Pricing logic is the heart of the system. It consists of your rules for how material, processes, setups, volumes and customer segments are combined into a final price. Each rule is configured during implementation, and can be adjusted at any time.

    Example: a laser part in 3 mm steel with 12 holes and 4 bends gets a price based on your actual cutting times, your bend setup, your material prices. Not an industry rule of thumb, your numbers.

    Example pricing rules

    • Laser cutting: SEK 180/hour + time based on your speed table
    • Bend setup: SEK 95 per bend + SEK 12 per bend for series over 50
    • Material 3 mm steel: SEK 12/kg with an 8% waste factor
    • Powder coating: SEK 85/m² for RAL 9005, SEK 110/m² for special colors
    • Volume discount: 5% at 100-500, 10% at 500+
    // Integration

    Connect to your reality

    ERP system

    Orders are created automatically on signing. Integration with Monitor, Jeeves, IFS, Visma, or your existing system via API.

    Mail & RFQ

    Gmail connection for automatic RFQ import. AI reads emails and attached files, suggests material, quantity and surface finish.

    Customer portal

    Customers upload STEP files via the portal, follow quote status and sign digitally. No separate login required.

    Export & output

    Quote as PDF, Excel, or structured JSON. Data can be transferred to spreadsheets, BI systems or price comparisons.
