How a Precision Engineering Firm Cut Quote Turnaround from 5 Days to 4 Hours
See how a precision engineering firm accelerated quote generation with AI, reducing turnaround time from 5 days to just 4 hours.
Conforge deployed an AI-driven quoting intelligence layer that reads engineering drawings, pulls live supplier pricing, and generates costed quotes in hours, without adding headcount.

A 5-Day Quote Process Was Costing Orders Before They Started
A precision contract manufacturer producing engineered-to-order components for the aerospace and industrial sectors was losing business before it even had a chance to compete. Their estimating team, three senior engineers, was manually reviewing technical drawings, calling suppliers for pricing, cross-referencing historical job data, and building cost sheets from scratch for every RFQ. The average turnaround was five days. Customers expecting 24-hour quotes were going elsewhere. Conforge deployed its Quote Intelligence module on top of the firm's existing ERP and drawing library, compressing days of manual work into a single automated workflow.
“We stopped losing quotes on speed. And we stopped underpricing jobs because an estimator was working from a supplier price they'd last checked six months ago. Both problems, same fix”
