RFQ to quotation, step by step

The workflow we usually build first. An enquiry arrives by mail with drawings and a specification. The workspace does the reading and the first draft; your engineers and commercial team make the calls.

  1. 01

    Read the enquiry

    Mail, drawings, datasheets and the specification, including scanned PDFs.

  2. 02

    Pull the evidence

    Past quotations, rate contracts, BOMs and item masters for each line.

  3. 03

    Draft the offer

    Priced, in your template, with each line linked to its source and gaps raised as questions.

  4. 04

    Route for approval

    Technical, pricing and final release by the people your rules name.
