Engineering manufacturer automates quoting, purchasing and quality records

Diversified engineering and fabrication company, three plants

2 daysquote turnaround, down from 9
-60%purchasing effort
100%digital quality records
-35%material shortages on the floor

Quotes generated from drawings and rules, purchase orders raised from production plans, and quality records captured at the station, integrated with the ERP.

The operation before

Estimators rebuilt every quote by hand, buyers re-keyed requirements into the ERP, and quality documentation lived on paper. Lead times and errors grew with volume.

What we built

  • Drawings and RFQs read by document intelligence; quotes built from costing rules
  • Purchase orders generated and expedited from the production schedule
  • Station tablets capture inspections; certificates assembled automatically
  • ERP integration so nothing is entered twice

What now runs without people

ERP data entry

“We quote faster than competitors twice our size, and the paperwork audits itself.”
