Quote in Minutes, Not Hours

AI quoting automation for machine shops in Brevard County and across the Space Coast. The system reads the customer's drawing, applies your pricing rules, and drafts the quote document. You review, adjust, and send — before your competitor has opened the RFQ email.

Sound familiar?

2 hours per quote in Excel

Reading the drawing, counting features, checking tolerances, looking up material prices, formatting the document. Ten quotes a week is a full workday gone.

Losing bids to faster shops

Buyers send RFQs to 3-5 shops at once. The first credible quote back frames the decision. A 48-hour turnaround loses to a 2-hour one.

Pricing lives in one person's head

If your estimator is out sick, quotes stop. Tribal-knowledge pricing means inconsistent margins and no way to train a backup.

How it works

This is the same system running live on the demo page — upload a real drawing and watch it work. For your shop, it gets tuned to your machines, materials, and margins:

  1. 1

    Drawing extraction

    AI vision reads the engineering drawing — features, dimensions, tolerances, material callouts, finish requirements. PDFs, scans, and photos all work.

  2. 2

    Your pricing rules, encoded

    Setup time, cycle time estimates, material costs, margin targets — captured from how you quote today, so output matches what you'd write yourself.

  3. 3

    Draft quote document

    A formatted quote ready for review. Nothing is sent without a human looking at it — the AI does the 90% that's mechanical, you do the 10% that's judgment.

  4. 4

    Every quote logged

    Win-rate tracking by customer, part type, and price band — data most small shops have never had.

The math on quoting time

10 quotes/week × 1.5 hours each × $35/hr loaded cost = $27,300/year in estimating labor — before counting a single bid won because you answered first. The target is quoting in 10-20 minutes per RFQ — at that rate, the system pays for itself inside the first quarter.

Built for Space Coast RFQ pressure

The Space Coast quoting environment is unforgiving. Brevard County machine shops quote into the aerospace and defense supply chain — primes and tier-ones that send the same RFQ package to a handful of qualified shops from Titusville to Palm Bay and award to whoever responds first with a credible number. A shop that quotes in two hours wins work a 48-hour shop never hears about again. Speed isn't a nice-to-have in this market; it is the bid.

Because I'm based in Cocoa, setup happens at your shop, not over screen shares. I sit with whoever quotes today — at the desk where the spreadsheet lives — and encode the real rules: which machines, which materials, which customers get which margins, what a rush job actually costs you on a Friday. Most Brevard shops are a 20-40 minute drive, so tuning visits in the first month are quick and frequent instead of batched into one remote handoff. When a strange RFQ breaks the system's assumptions — and one always does — I come look at the drawing with you instead of debugging by email.

Common questions

Will it work with our drawings — old scans, customer PDFs, photos?+
Yes. The extraction handles clean CAD exports, scanned legacy drawings, and phone photos. Messy inputs get flagged for closer human review instead of guessed at.
Our pricing is complicated. Can it really match how we quote?+
The setup phase is exactly this: I sit with whoever quotes today and encode the real rules — setup minimums, material markups, rush multipliers, customer-specific pricing. The system drafts; your rules decide.
What happens when the AI gets something wrong?+
Nothing goes out unreviewed. The workflow is draft → human review → send. Wrong extractions are corrected in the review screen, and corrections improve the prompts over time.
How long until we're quoting faster?+
The pilot is structured so a working first version is live inside the first week, trained against a stack of your past quotes. The remaining weeks are side-by-side tuning with your estimator on live RFQs — adjusting setup assumptions, material price sources, and formatting — until the drafts come out consistently right. The week-three goal is system-drafted quotes going out for the majority of RFQs.
