RFQ Intake and Practical AI for Chicago Job Shops

I start with quoting, because that's where a lot of a normal week can disappear.

I'm not selling big quoting software or a company-wide AI rollout. I help job shops set up RFQ intake: one place for the drawing, the revision, and the notes from the call, with missing pieces flagged before you price. A person still says yes before anything goes to the customer.

Engineer-to-order quoting, when every job is custom and the request is spread across three inboxes.
Quoting custom fabrication jobs faster by getting the details together first. Not by auto-pricing parts you've never run.
Practical AI for family-owned businesses. Once the checklist habit is in place, AI can pull dates and specs out of emails so someone checks them instead of retyping them.

More on the missing-details problem in why quotes stall, or grab the pre-quote checklist.

Start small, and get an honest answer.

It's a free 15-minute look at how requests come into your shop today, by email, website, walk-in, or whatever you use. If there's a quick win, I'll tell you. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too.

I do the setup myself, then hand it off so your team knows where intake lives and what to do when a line on the checklist is blank. No ripping out your ERP.
