Prepare quotes in less than half the processing time

A manufacturing company could have technical quote drafts prepared from customer enquiries, bills of materials and pricing rules. Calculation and approval remain with sales.

Modelled annual capacity potential of EUR 53,760

Modelled example scenario – not a client reference

Starting point

A mid-sized manufacturer creates an average of 50 individual quotes per week. Sales staff transfer requirements from emails and technical documents, search for comparable previous quotes and then create a first draft. The final calculation must still be reviewed by an experienced employee.

·50 quotes per week
·48 active weeks per year
·50 minutes average processing time
·EUR 48 fully loaded cost per productive working hour
·22 minutes expected processing time with prepared draft and human review

Modelled potential

Current effort is 2,000 hours per year, equivalent to EUR 96,000 of working capacity. If average processing time falls from 50 to 22 minutes after a successful pilot, 1,120 hours are released — an annual capacity potential of EUR 53,760.

Possible solution

An AI-assisted application generates a structured quote draft from the customer enquiry, product data, approved text modules and pricing rules. A sales employee reviews technical details, price and contract terms before sending.

Controls

No automatic price approval
Human review of every quote
Only approved product and pricing data
Logging of source, draft and changes
Measurement of processing time, error rate and rework
