Automotive supplier RFQ and quotation automation

Automotive suppliers quote under strict requirements for traceability, engineering changes, tooling costs, production ramp-up and series pricing. An RFQ can request process breakdowns, industrialization milestones, packaging, logistics and quality documents in addition to unit prices.

What needs checking before issuing a quote

Quotation teams align part specifications, drawing revisions, projected volumes, materials, available capacity and non-recurring engineering costs. A volume assumption or tolerance change may affect tooling investment, cycle time and piece price, so versions cannot be treated as interchangeable.

Teqia supports version tracking, technical parameter extraction and requirement matrices. Teams can separate development, tooling, production, packaging and transport items. The manufacturer decides which calculations can be configured and which technical or commercial approvals require specialist judgment.

How Teqia fits into the workflow

Collect documents and RFQ versions in one workflow. AI-assisted classification and requirement extraction create structured information for people to verify against source files.

Organize line items, clarification questions, purchasing inputs and cost assumptions. Distinguish confirmed technical details from decisions that still require engineering or sales approval.

Responsible staff review calculations, margins, dates, exclusions and final documentation before the quotation is issued. The objective is better traceability and less repeated manual checking.

A practical quotation workflow

Consider a machined housing RFQ with a volume forecast and engineering drawing. A subsequent revision changes the alloy and introduces a tighter tolerance. The file makes it easier to identify possible effects on material sourcing, processing, quality approval and the revised offer.

Pilots should test engineering revision control, one-off investment versus unit cost, delivery terms and approval responsibilities. Automotive-specific standards and customer requirements must be assessed by qualified quality professionals rather than assumed compliant.

Implementation and validation criteria

You can share a representative RFQ under appropriate confidentiality arrangements. We can examine which inputs matter, what calculations require configuration and how to assess usefulness in a controlled pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Can Teqia automatically quote every RFQ in this industry?

No. Extracted information needs human review, while pricing rules are configured for the manufacturer. Supported inputs, accuracy and integrations depend on the implementation and should be evaluated using representative RFQs.

Do we need to replace our ERP or standard proposal templates?

Not necessarily. Teqia can be evaluated alongside an existing ERP and established offer formats. Integrations and output templates need to be scoped around your systems and approval process.
