When we talk to manufacturers, we usually start by looking at the problems, not the technology. These are some of the situations where we tend to create the most value. How many sound familiar?
Each thing you ticked has a price tag attached. This is what we see when we open the hood — and where we'd start.

Customers now expect an answer in minutes. Whoever can answer fast without losing accuracy takes the deal — and that is a process question, not a product question.

Every revision, every price, every drawing had to pass through the few people who hold the product knowledge. The queue is where days, margin and momentum disappear.
“Every proposal revision required engineering resources. Solution designers waited on technical input for changes that seemed like they should be simpler.”
We capture the rules once — geometry, load, compliance, price — and hand them to the people talking to the customer. Verification stays, the waiting does not.
“Solution designers can now carry out work tasks that previously involved resources from our engineering team. This results in a very quick turnaround so we can spend more time with customers and new sales.”
Three manufacturers, three different products, one identical bottleneck: the work stopped every time it had to go back to engineering.
Engineers iterated nine times to land the right beam and column profiles, so complex quotes were pushed to backoffice.
Every proposal revision needed engineering resources, so solution designers waited instead of selling.
A very broad product range was hard to visualise and explain, and onboarding took months.
