B2B Quotes in Hours Instead of Weeks.

In mechanical and plant engineering, technical clarifications take forever. Sales and engineering play ping-pong for weeks before the customer sees a price. Generative AI breaks through these waiting times and delivers data-driven first drafts at the push of a button.

The Old Problem

A customer requests a complex machine. The salesperson does not understand every technical detail and has to ask engineering. Engineering is overloaded, and the calculation drags on. By the time the PDF reaches the customer, the competition has long delivered.

The AI Solution

A secured corporate LLM is linked with ERP, PIM, and past quotes. The salesperson inputs specifications (PDFs, emails), and the AI extracts the appropriate modules, calculates material costs, and writes the complete quote in the company's wording.

Process Flow: Quote Creation with AI

1

Data Ingestion

The customer RFP (Request for Proposal) or specifications document is uploaded. The system quickly reads CAD specifications, standards, and desired parameters.

2

Bill of Materials Matching

Using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), the AI searches past projects for similarities ("What machine did we build similarly in 2023?") and pulls the appropriate item numbers and calculation values.

3

Human Validation

The "First Draft" is ready. Engineering only needs to "review" instead of starting from scratch. The time savings are often 70-80%.
