QuoteRelay
QuoteRelay turns a forwarded RFQ email or uploaded drawing into a costed, ready-to-send quote for small machine shops and metal fabricators in minutes, without asking the shop to replace the system it already quotes from.
The problem
Small custom machine shops and metal fabricators with no dedicated estimator spend 15 to 20 minutes manually reading a print to build each quote, so slow turnaround loses jobs to whichever shop answers first.
The wedge
An email-native quote assistant that reads a forwarded RFQ drawing and returns a costed quote draft in minutes without requiring the shop to adopt a new quoting system of record, unlike full-platform entrants Uptool and Paperless Parts or per-seat-priced Costimator.
