B2BFor mould makers

RFQs in four languages.One estimator.Every quote late.

Tool shops that quote injection moulds and die-casting dies for clients abroad lose days before the first reply: reading drawings, specs and STEP files, writing questions in German or French, then typing it all again for the quote. That's the work we take off the desk, and the price stays with you.

01Symptoms

You'll recognisemost of these.

01

RFQs sit in the sales inbox until the estimator has time to open the STEP file.

02

The drawing says one material and the client's spec another, and nobody notices until the client points it out.

03

Replies in German wait for the one person who writes them well.

04

The same part number, material and quantities are typed into Excel, an email, the quote and the ERP.

05

Quotes go out and nobody chases them.

02What we'd build

Three systems,one quote desk.

01

Quote request assistant

Reads the RFQ and its attachments, measures the STEP file, writes the summary sheet in your team's language and lists only what blocks the quote.

02

Replies in the client's language

Questions and cover notes drafted in German, French or Spanish, for your team to check and send.

03

Quote follow-up

A reminder and a drafted follow-up a few days after each quote, so none of them go quiet.

03The cost

What the repeat workcosts you a year.

Four numbers about your inbox. The result is your estimate, not ours: every assumption is listed beside it. The starting figures are a guess for a tool shop like yours; change them to your own.

  2. A request in another language takes 1.5 times as long.
  3. Half coming back is a planning figure, not a promise. The audit measures yours.
Not an invoice. Nobody has been charged.

Sample audit

The whole audit we'd deliver, written for a mould maker we made up.

03

RFQ benchmark

How fast your shop answers an RFQ, and what that adds up to.

05Next step

Show us one RFQfrom last week.

Twenty minutes on where it waited, who touched it, and whether the assistant would have helped. If it wouldn't, we'll say so.
