By the time the quotation is ready, the enquiry has been read three times.

The sales engineer reads the email, measures the route length on the site plan and adds what was said on the phone. Then he looks for a comparable past project, usually fails to find one, and costs it from scratch. The quotation is assembled from standard text blocks that each person combines differently.

3sources per enquiryEmail, site plan and phone note, each with different details.
42planned service connectionsThe number is in the email; the location of the connections is on the plan.
5quotation itemsRoute, service connections, transfer stations, design and commissioning.
6 hoursper quotationEvaluating, searching for a past project, costing, assembling the text.

Those six hours per quotation are the lever behind the headline figure: 50% faster quotation preparation.

This agent's headline figure in the dataset is 50% faster quotation preparation. The sources, number of connections, quotation items and hours per quotation describe a typical enquiry in sales; they are illustrative, not measured.

Three steps through the process.

The agent evaluates the enquiry, matches it against the portfolio and builds the draft quotation; it does not set the price.

Evaluate the enquiry from its sources

The agent reads the email, site plan and phone note and enters the number of connections, capacity and route length on an enquiry sheet. Every detail shows which source it came from.

Enquiry AN-2026-2648, 42 service connections, 1,180 metres of route from the site plan

Match the enquiry against the portfolio

The agent looks for the matching items in the portfolio and comparable past projects in the project file store. It lists anything the portfolio does not cover as an open item.

2 past projects found, item for transfer station above 300 kW open

Pass the draft quotation on to costing

The agent builds the draft from the assigned items and the organisation's own text blocks. Price fields stay empty where costing has to do the sums.

angebot_AN-2026-2648_entwurf.docx, 5 items, 1 item without a price

What the agent does not do.

It does not set the price.

It fills in the items and leaves the price fields open. The sales engineer sets the price in costing and is responsible for it.

It does not send the quotation.

The draft goes to inside sales for review. Account management handles sending and follow-up.

It does not read heights or crossings from the site plan.

It measures the route length, but not how the route runs beneath the railway line. Design settles what that means for construction before costing.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Enquiry to Quotation Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 6 to 8 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “50% faster quotation preparation” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
