Cutting tool manufacturers and distributors
Every special waits for the one or two people who can size it, draw it and price it, while the buyer takes the first sensible answer.
Specials sized, drawn and priced for your engineers to check, while the customer is still deciding.
- The request and any drawing are read.
- The tool is configured in 3D on your rules, priced on real costs and drawn.
- The quote line is ready for the engineer to check.
- Impossible combinations are stopped before quoting.
- Regrinds and stock lines sit in the same answer.
A request read into a structured table: 2 lines, each with its quantity, and 9 attributes, each cited to the customer's own words.
