About This Automation

Quote and RFQ management covers turning an incoming customer request into a priced, approved, and delivered quote document. Doing this by hand means chasing technical specs, rebuilding cost calculations, and routing approvals across several people before a quote ever reaches the customer.

An automated version reads the incoming request, pulls current costing, and prepares the quote for review before sending it out. The result is a faster, more consistent quote turnaround with less manual chasing between departments.

Key features
Extracts specifications and quantities directly from incoming request emails
Calculates costing and margin using current pricing data
Routes quotes above a set value to the right approver automatically
Builds a formatted quote document with line items and terms
Sends the finished quote to the customer once cleared for release
Updates the opportunity record with quote status and follow-up reminders
