Manufacturing Quotation Software for Complex RFQs

TIBR empowers manufacturers, fabricators, and suppliers to build precise, detailed RFQs—assemblies, subcomponents, materials, processes, and logistics included.

Who it’s for

Manufacturers and fabricators responding to complex RFQs
Sales teams quoting assemblies, subassemblies, and custom parts
Operations and project managers overseeing industrial bids

Why

Organize quotes by assembly, subassembly, part, or process
Prompted for materials, labor, machine time, finishing, and packaging
Attach clarifications, tolerances, exclusions, and alternates for every RFQ
Export professional, branded quotations as PDF, Word, or a shareable web link
Save templates for repeat RFQ types—OEM, custom fabrication, batch production, and more

The manufacturing RFQ problem

RFQs mix drawings, CAD notes, and spreadsheets. BOMs, routings, tolerances, and finishes are easy to miss. Pricing must reflect material yield, machine time, setup, scrap, and packaging—yet quotes live in disconnected files. TIBR standardizes quotations so teams respond faster with fewer reworks and chargebacks.

Scattered inputs (prints, STEP/DXF, emails) → missed assumptions & recuts
Inconsistent costing of setup/changeover, scrap, and yield → margin leakage
Manual proposal formatting → slow turnarounds and lost awards

How works for manufacturing teams

Capture scope fast. Paste requirements and attach print notes: assemblies, subassemblies, part counts, materials, finishes, packaging, logistics.
AI builds the quote. Structured sections for BOM, processes/routings, machine time, tooling & setup, labor, materials, outside services, and QA.
Guided gap checks. Tolerances/CTQs, surface finish, heat treat/anodize/plating, deburr, CMM/PPAP/FAI, serialization, certificates, packaging, INCO terms.
Alternates & breaks. Economies by lot size, make/buy options, substitute materials/finishes, expedite fees.
Export & share. PDF/Word/CSV or a branded quotation link with version history.

Estimators / Quoting Engineers

Consistent BOM & routing structure across RFQs
Prompted CTQs/tolerances reduce misses and rework
Lot-size price breaks generated quickly

Production & Operations

Setup/changeover, scrap factors, and cycle times captured
Clear outside services & supplier requirements
Clean handoff to routing/dispatch with QA checkpoints

Sales & Finance

Readable quotations that win complex RFQs
Transparent assumptions (lead time, payment, INCO terms)
Audit trail for revisions and approvals

Typical scope elements covered

BOM with alternates and make/buy options
Materials: plate/bar/tube, yield & scrap, certs
Processes: machining, fabrication, forming, welding, cutting, molding, assembly
Tooling & setup: jigs/fixtures, changeovers, programming
Finishes & treatments: anodize, paint/powder, plating, heat treat, passivation
QA & documentation: inspection levels, FAI/PPAP, CMM reports, serialization, CoC
Packaging & logistics: kitting, labeling, NAFTA/INCO, freight, export docs
Commercials: lead time, min order qty, price breaks, warranty/returns

Integrations & outputs

Export quotes to PDF, Word, and CSV. Maintain process libraries, rate cards, and supplier catalogs. ERP/MRP/PLM/CAD integrations are planned (e.g., NetSuite, JobBOSS, Odoo, SolidWorks) — see the roadmap.

Results manufacturing teams see

50–80% faster quote turnaround on complex RFQs
Fewer chargebacks via explicit tolerances and QA assumptions
Higher win rate with consistent, professional quotations

FAQs

Can TIBR handle multi-level BOMs and routings?

Yes. Organize assemblies, subassemblies, and processes with alternates and make/buy.

How are tolerances and CTQs handled?

Prompts capture GD&T/CTQs, inspection level, FAI/PPAP, and required certificates.

Can we price by lot size with breaks?

Yes. Add quantity breaks, expedite fees, and commercial terms.

Does it cover outside services and finishes?

Yes. Anodize/paint/plating/heat treat and certificates are line-itemed.

What export options are available?

PDF/Word/CSV and a shareable quote link; ERP/MRP/PLM/CAD integrations are on the roadmap.
