Purchase orders

Keep each purchase order for a person to approve, or let one that passes all five checks become a quote and go out within your daily limit.

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Let catalog quotes under your ceiling go out alone; everything else waits for me.”

Lisa“New quotes priced from your catalog now go out alone under the ceiling you set; revisions and larger quotes still wait. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Manufacturing use it

A distributor mails a 40-line purchase order as a spreadsheet; every line is matched to your catalog and one off-list price holds it with a question.

A maintenance buyer calls at 2 a.m. for six bearings and a seal kit; the quote from your list waits for your yes at 7.

A verified dealer asks for his discount on a pump order; a revision at your list minus his share waits for approval.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

One record

Manufacturing quoting software from the RFQ to the delivery

The RFQ, the quote, the payment and the shipment stay on one row through the whole quoting process, so nobody asks inside sales or the warehouse where an order is.

Seven stages on one row

Inbound, Awaiting your yes, Quotes sent, Paid, Shipping, Delivered and Closed, each row saying whether the request came by phone, chat, mail, form or purchase order.

Quoted during the call

The AI answers the buyer on the phone or in the chat, asks the part numbers and quantities and prices them from your catalog while he is still there.

Your team's own quotes

Quote creation by hand stays short: New quote lets a rep tick catalog articles or type a line with its price and quantity, and Make a quote on the call card does it during a call.

On your letterhead

Classic, Modern or Minimal, with your logo, your brand colour and your number prefix, on the quote, the paid order, the packing list and the invoice.

Read in his language

An export buyer reads your wording translated into his language, while your terms and conditions stay as you wrote them.

Opened and accepted

The list shows when the buyer opened the quote and when he accepted it, so sales teams call at the right moment.

Purchase orders

Purchase orders read once and checked five times

Retyping a distributor's purchase order is where wrong prices and dropped lines come from, so the AI reads it once and code checks it before any quote exists.

Any file the buyer sends

PDF, Word, Excel or plain text by mail, or added by hand: the buyer, the PO number, the ship-to, the shipping asked for and the printed terms are read.

Five checks in code

The order is complete, it is not from your own company, it is not a duplicate, every line is in your catalog and every printed price fits your rule.

Held with one question

A failed check holds the order with a single plain question for your desk, answered on the row or by mail, instead of a quote nobody checked.

Duplicates caught

The same PO number from the same buyer is caught before it is entered twice, and the team, the daily brief and the dashboard are told.

Proceed when all green

With every check passed, the quote is made at your prices, carrying the PO number and the ship-to, and the buyer is added as a contact.

Acknowledged in his language

Turn on automatic reading and an all-green order is acknowledged by itself within your approval ceiling, in the buyer's language, with his PO number.

B2B pricing

Quoting software for manufacturers that sell to dealers

A wrong price costs most in business-to-business quoting, so your list sets every price and the AI only reads and writes what your rules allow.

Your list, read by code

The price of each part or product is taken from the record, never worked out by the AI, so a quote never carries a figure you did not set.

Dealer discounts by rule

A verified dealer who asks for his discount gets a revision at your list minus his share, and it waits for your approval like every revision.

Net terms for trusted accounts

For an account you approved, the order opens at acceptance, the invoice carries its due date and the goods ship before the money arrives.

Deposits on large orders

Ask a deposit by rule on any way to pay, with the balance due a number of days after acceptance that you choose.

Its limits

Quoting software, not cost estimating software

Buyers comparing manufacturing quote software should know plainly where AI Quoting stops.

No drawings read

It opens no CAD models or drawings and recognises no features, so it cannot price a part you have never made from its geometry.

No job costing

Machining time, material yield, routing, setups and overhead are not calculated; your estimator prices a custom line, and the quote waits for that person.

No production planning

It schedules no machines and checks no capacity; a lead time is what your rules and your team say, never a date the AI worked out.

Engineered projects elsewhere

A large engineered request that needs a written proposal goes to AI Proposal Studio, where your team writes the solution and its price.

Follow-up

Quote follow-up that starts when the quote leaves

Most quotes are lost to silence rather than to another supplier, so the chase begins on the send and stops when the buyer pays or declines.

The first day

A short mail asks whether the quote arrived, with the link to the buyer's own page, signed by your salesperson.

The third day

A mail offers to reserve the units, and a one-of-a-kind article already shows as reserved while the quote is valid.

Before it expires

A reminder goes before the validity ends; once a quote has expired it can be quoted again at today's list prices.

When the buyer answers

A change request becomes a revision for your yes, a question goes to the sales desk and a written yes is pointed to Accept.

Questions & answers

AI Quoting for Manufacturing: questions & answers

What is quoting software for manufacturing?

Software that turns a buyer's request into a priced quote he can accept, and keeps every quote in one list until it is paid and shipped. AI Quoting takes requests from the phone, the chat, mail, web forms and purchase orders, prices each line from your own list and waits for your approval.

Does AI Quoting estimate a custom part from its drawing?

No. It reads no drawings or CAD files and computes no machining time, material yield, routing or overhead. It quotes the parts and products already on your price list; a line that needs an estimator waits under Price the lines until that person prices it.

Can it read purchase orders from our distributors?

Yes. A purchase order arriving by mail as a PDF, Word, Excel or text file, or added by hand, is read once: the buyer, the PO number, the ship-to, the shipping asked for, the printed terms and every line matched to your catalog, then put through five checks.

What happens when a printed price differs from our list?

The price check fails and the order is held with one plain question to your desk, answered on the row or by mail. Nothing becomes a quote until a person settles it, and the buyer's PO number stays on the record either way.

Will the AI ever set or change a price?

No. Prices are read by code from your inventory or store records, never calculated by the AI. When a buyer asks for a better price, the AI writes a revision that waits for your yes, and a change to the money never leaves alone, whatever the setting.

Can quotes go out without anyone approving them?

Only if you choose. As shipped every quote waits under Awaiting your yes. You can let new quotes priced from your catalog go out by themselves under a ceiling you set, and an all-green purchase order can be acknowledged on its own within that ceiling.

How are dealer and distributor discounts handled?

By your rule. When a verified distributor asks for his agreed discount, the AI prepares a revised quote at list less his share, and it waits for your approval. Anyone else who asks for a lower price is told politely, in his own language, that the list price holds.

Can approved accounts order on net terms?

Yes. For an account you approved, the order opens at acceptance, the invoice carries its due date and the goods ship before payment. A deposit can be set too, with the balance due the number of days after acceptance that you choose.

How does a buyer accept and pay a quote?

He receives the quote on your letterhead with its PDF and a link to his own page, showing the lines with pictures, the total and the ways to pay you offer. He accepts with his name, and his name and the time become the record.

How long does a manufacturing quote stay valid?

Fourteen days unless you change it, and you can tell Lisa to make your quotes valid for 30 days instead. Every approval restarts the validity from that day, and an expired quote can be quoted again at today's list prices.

Does the quote follow-up run by itself?

Yes. It starts when the quote is sent, signed by your salesperson and written in the buyer's language: a check that the quote arrived, a word about reserving stock, then a reminder before the quote expires. It stops by itself when he pays or declines.

What happens once the order is paid?

The invoice takes the next number of your own series, the paid order goes to billing and the packing list to your shipping desk, with a text to the warehouse phone. When shipping enters the carrier and tracking number, the buyer is told by mail.
