AI for industrial RFQs and quotations · Industries
Metal fabrication RFQ and estimating software
In sheet-metal work, laser cutting, welding and structural fabrication, quotation costs depend on material, thickness, geometry, scrap, setup, finishing and outsourced operations. Identical-looking components can have very different economics depending on batch size, tooling, tolerance, certification and due date.
Discuss a real RFQ ↗Explore the platform ↗What needs checking before issuing a quote
RFQs often include 2D drawings, assemblies, part lists, welding requirements, tolerances, material certificates and quantity spreadsheets. Revisions to grade or surface finish may arrive in separate emails. Pricing before consolidating the documentation risks inconsistent assumptions and untraceable changes.
Teqia brings quotation documents into a structured file, helps extract reviewable requirements and connects customer line items with manufacturing operations. Material, process, scrap and subcontracting formulas can be configured during implementation while preserving calculation factors and approvals.

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 welded-frame RFQ revised to specify a different steel grade, surface finish and production quantity. Teams can identify affected line items, reassess purchased inputs and prepare clarification questions before submitting an updated quote. The platform supports review rather than replacing manufacturing expertise.
Test actual quotations with differing batch sizes, thicknesses and weld types. Check units, conversions, material traceability and setup costs. Engineers remain responsible for judging manufacturability and shop-floor constraints.
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.

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.
