From 5 days to under 1 hour — quote cycles that win deals
In custom machinery, a quote isn’t just a price — it’s an engineering statement. Every configuration choice has structural, electrical, and cost implications. Forge understands these dependencies and turns complex configurations into accurate, professional quotes in minutes.
How Forge accelerates quoting
- Guided configuration: Sales reps select options through structured decision trees. Invalid combinations are blocked automatically — no engineering review needed for standard configurations.
- Real-time costing: Material costs, labor hours, supplier prices, and margins update live as the configuration changes. No more “we’ll get back to you with the price.”
- Dependency validation: Choose a larger motor? Forge automatically adjusts the frame, cabling, and cooling requirements. Every quote is technically sound by default.
- PDF generation: Professional proposals in your corporate design. Technical drawings, scope descriptions, pricing tables, terms — generated in seconds, not hours.
- Approval workflows: Quotes above margin thresholds or custom configurations route automatically to the right approver. Full audit trail for every change.
- ERP handoff: Approved quotes convert into production orders with one click. Bill of materials, routing, and scheduling data flow directly into your ERP system.
The impact
Customers using Forge report 85% faster quote turnaround, 12% higher margins through consistent pricing, and a 30% increase in quotes sent per sales rep. The structured process also reduces errors — fewer revised quotes, fewer surprises in production.
