Office Autopilot · Contract machining

AI for contract machine shops. Quote more RFQs. Retype nothing.

RFQs arrive as drawing packs, spreadsheets and emails. Office Autopilot reads them, finds your closest past jobs and drafts the quote. Your estimator sets the price.

The office work between the RFQ and the spindle.

RFQ intake

Drawing packs opened one by one to find material, quantities, finishes and tolerances.

Each part summarized: material, quantities, finishes, critical tolerances and outside processes.

Estimating

Searching old jobs and spreadsheets for something similar.

Your closest past jobs pulled up next to a draft quote.

Outside processing

Heat treat, plating and coating quotes chased by email.

Requests to your vendors drafted and tracked until they answer.

Order entry

Won POs retyped into the ERP.

The PO arrives as a draft job, checked against the quote you sent.

Status questions

“Where's my order?” answered by walking the floor.

Answered from the job record; exceptions go to a person.

One RFQ, start to finish.

What the quoting module does with a drawing pack that lands on a Friday afternoon.

Where to start

Start with RFQ intake: the faster you quote, the more you win.

Your rates, your history

Quotes start from your machine rates and the jobs you've actually run.

Drawing packs as they come

PDFs, spreadsheets and email text. What it can't read with confidence goes to a person.

Outside processing included

Vendor quotes for heat treat, plating and coatings requested and tracked.

Estimators decide

The agent drafts. Your estimator sets the price.

On site or as an in-depth session with your team. The findings are yours either way.

Run it yourselves, or keep us on a monthly agreement for monitoring and changes.

Straight answers

Does it read 3D models?
It reads PDF drawings, spreadsheets and email text. Model files are scoped case by case in the audit.
Will it set our prices?
No. It drafts from your rates and past jobs. Your estimator decides.
Does it work with our ERP?
If your ERP has an API, almost certainly. The connector is scoped in the audit and built on request, so you don't change systems.
Where does our data live?
On a server in your name, with your own AI model account. Nothing is used to train models, and you can switch us off without losing anything.

Built for manufacturers.

Bring a recent RFQ pack. We'll show you the draft quote.
