BOM, routing, machine times, material prices and margin per customer in one calculator. Run-size variants in one document, a PDF ready to send without a week of back-and-forth with the process engineer.
The enquiry arrives on Monday, the process engineer looks at the drawing on Thursday, the offer goes out the following week. The customer already has two others.
A spreadsheet with material prices from six months ago and machine-hour rates nobody has updated. The margin looks fine on the offer and not on the settlement.
The customer asks for a larger-run variant, then a different material. Every version is a new file, and a month later nobody knows which one they accepted.
The calculator uses the same data you produce from: BOMs, routings and prices from the ERP.
Three years ago features like these needed a data science team. Today language models read emails, documents and photos, and we build them into the system we make for you. Below is what makes sense in this solution. A person approves, AI prepares.
AI reads the email, the PDF drawing and the specification, pulls out parts, quantities, material and due date, and opens an enquiry for the salesperson to complete.
Example an email with three DXF drawings and "250 of each, S355 steel, due November" → an enquiry with three lines, material and due date
For a new drawing, AI points to earlier quotes for similar parts with their routing and actual cost. The process engineer copies the routing and corrects the differences.
Example a bent 4 mm sheet-metal bracket with four holes → three similar parts from history with routing and actual time
The model compares the calculation with settlements of similar orders. When an operation time or material usage looks optimistic, it highlights the line before sending.
Example welding time 12 min/pc in the calculation, 17 on average on similar orders → a flag on the line with a proposed correction
The owner or head of sales asks in plain language, the answer comes from the offers and settlements database.
Example "what margin did we really make on furniture-industry offers this year?" → a breakdown per customer with the gap between offer and settlement
BOMs, routings, material prices and customers come from the ERP. An accepted offer goes back there as an order.
The first version calculates what the spreadsheet calculates today, with prices from the ERP and version history.
You have the diagnosis, we build the solution. Web applications, B2B portals and automations for companies without a large IT department. Today a system can read emails and documents, suggest decisions and answer customers on its own, so we build that in from the first version, not as an add-on a year later.
We agree scope, price and dates upfront, show progress every week, and the code and data stay yours.
You tell us how an offer is made today and how long it waits for the process engineer, we tell you what can be calculated from the data you have.
