Mission
Close the gap between sales and engineering
Every industrial quote starts as a request in the customer's words and ends as an answer only engineering can give. Kabaido is built to carry it across that gap, with discipline.
Our mission
Sales speaks the customer's language. Engineering holds the answer. Kabaido is the bridge between them.
It turns a request that arrives unstructured into a structured answer, grounded in your own data, citing its sources and honest about what it does not know.
- RFQ in an email
- Purchase order
- Drawing or PDF
- Service request
- Priced quote
- Confirmed order
- Priced service job
Where this comes from
Built by someone who lived the gap
Kabaido began on the other side of the desk. Its founder spent years in industrial sales, the person a customer sends a request to and expects an answer from. The request rarely arrives ready to answer. It comes as an email, a drawing, a half-written specification or a purchase order with a part number that has to be looked up.
The real work was never the selling. It was the restructuring. Reading the drawing, matching it to the catalogue, checking the tolerance, working the price line by line, then writing it all back up as a quote. Hours of it, every day, done by people whose knowledge deserved harder questions.
That is the gap. Sales sits with the customer and their words. Engineering holds the judgement that turns those words into a price that is right. Between the two is a pile of manual translation, and that pile is where capacity drains and quotes go slow.
Kabaido exists to carry the request across that gap. It does the restructuring with engineering discipline, structured first, grounded in your own data, citing every source and abstaining when it does not know, so the engineer spends judgement where it counts and the customer gets an answer sooner.
The discipline
How the bridge holds
Augmentation, not replacement. A sales engineer can trust it because the working is always on show, and we hold ourselves to honest numbers everywhere we publish them.
- Structured first
- Every request becomes typed fields before it becomes a price. Nothing is decided on a hunch.
- Grounded in your data
- It reads your catalogue, your drawings and your price lists. Not the open internet, not a generic model's memory.
- Cites its sources
- Every tolerance, dimension and price points back to the span it came from, so a sales engineer can check the working.
- Abstains when unsure
- Missing means a clarification, never a guess. The honest gap is part of the answer.
We start where the knowledge runs deepest: precision metal-cutting and the eight packs around it.
- Cutting
- Workholding
- Abrasives
- CNC
- Metrology
- Coatings
- Materials
- Fluids
Let engineers spend their judgement where it matters
Kabaido structures the request, grounds it in your own data, cites its sources and abstains when it does not know.
