FOR MANUFACTURERS

Quote faster without
losing control of the rules.

Drawings, schedules, product rules and pricing logic turned into a controlled quoting workflow, so routine cases move in minutes and estimators keep the judgement, the margin and the release.

Where quoting capacity disappears.

Not in the factory. At the front door, where every enquiry waits on the few people who carry the product rules in their heads.

  • Product rules live in senior heads: Quote quality depends on the few people who understand the exceptions and combinations.
  • Drawings slow the sales cycle: Estimators spend hours reading schedules and dimensions before pricing can even begin.
  • Enquiry peaks become lost orders: When turnaround takes days, fast-moving opportunities go somewhere else.
  • Pricing consistency drifts: Spreadsheets, overrides and undocumented rules create variation between estimators.
  • Documents are retyped everywhere: The same dimensions and references are interpreted repeatedly into every system.

What manufacturers need visibility over.

Receive it, quote it, win it, produce it. Quoting is where the other three are decided, and where the bottleneck usually sits.

  • Product rules and valid configurations
  • Pricing logic and margin rules
  • Drawing and specification interpretation
  • Quote turnaround time
  • Estimator review and approval
  • Order handover and production readiness

The operating systems behind
a quote you can trust.

Rules held as data, documents parsed once, and an estimator on the release. In that order.

What changes when the rules
leave people's heads.

Who works in it.

  • Estimator: A review queue of flagged items instead of a measuring backlog.
  • Sales manager: Quote status and turnaround they can promise on.
  • Operations manager: Won work flowing toward production without re-keying.
  • Production planner: What was quoted and won, ready for the factory.
  • Finance / margin reviewer: Margin logic applied consistently, exceptions visible.
  • Business owner: Quoting capacity that scales without hiring bottlenecks.

Proven in live
manufacturing quoting.

Our quoting engine runs live for a windows-and-doors manufacturer, turning a workflow that took days into a process measured in minutes for routine cases, with product rules controlled and human approval visible.

  • System: Automated Quoting
  • Before: Days per quote

What the estimator reviews.

The goal is not to let AI invent a price. The goal is to encode your product rules so routine quotes move faster while estimators keep control of judgement, margin and release.

The same system past the quote: inquiry intake, quotes awaiting acceptance, orders pending confirmation and active fulfilment, in one operating picture for the office team.

Common questions.

What does Cyberate build for building-product manufacturers?

Cyberate builds quoting automation and document intelligence for manufacturers: drawings, schedules and product rules become controlled quote workflows, proven live with a windows-and-doors manufacturer where turnaround moved from days to minutes.

Does this replace estimators?

No. The system removes repetitive interpretation and calculation; estimators review exceptions and approve every quote.

Can it handle custom product rules?

Yes. The point is encoding your product logic, not forcing a generic quoting model.

What documents can it read?

Drawings, schedules, specifications and other quote-supporting documents, structured through the document intelligence layer.

Can it connect to order or production systems?

Yes. Integration is planned around your existing workflow and data boundary.
