PM QuoteFlow: Technical Quotes in Minutes Instead of Days
Our own AI product for contract manufacturing handles the groundwork: reading drawings, calculating costs, preparing the quote – your team reviews and approves it. No new system: QuoteFlow works with your existing ERP.
Request a QuoteFlow demoWhy technical quoting processes hold back growth
Technical inquiries take hours, sometimes days – and the competition responds faster. Incoming requests exceed capacity, and your best specialists spend 60 to 80 percent of their quoting time on data entry instead of decisions. QuoteFlow solves exactly this bottleneck.
Minutes instead of hours
Quote turnaround time drops from hours to minutes – inquiries, drawings, and CAD files (STEP/DXF) are automatically read in and calculated.
Answer 3× more inquiries
Without new hires: your team handles a multiple of the quotes, because the groundwork is eliminated and only review and approval remain.
Traceable instead of a black box
Every calculation is fully documented – e.g. €0.85/m × 12.4 m cut length. You can see at any time how a price is arrived at.
No new system
QuoteFlow works with your existing ERP – in use with SAP, Odoo, proALPHA, abas, Dynamics, Infor, APplus, and Sage, among others. Data flows without duplicate entry.
The knowledge of your best estimators – usable systematically
Today, calculation knowledge lives in people's heads and doesn't scale. QuoteFlow turns it into consistent calculation logic: the calculation becomes as reliable as your best employee – just faster. And because your team reviews instead of typing, responsibility stays where it belongs: with the people.

In practical use
Two examples of how QuoteFlow already calculates today.
AI calculator for industrial coating
Instead of reading surface areas off drawings by hand, the system automatically reads STEP or DXF files and calculates the coating surface area in seconds – including material and quantity surcharges. Live in production at a contract powder coater.
AI calculator for mechanical engineering
Cut length, trimming, weld seams, material waste: QuoteFlow reads everything directly from the CAD file and calculates the price in under 30 seconds per part – as a traceable calculation instead of a black box.
Further target industries: CNC manufacturing and injection molding. All details, use cases, and the ROI calculator: pm-quoteflow.de · Related services: Custom Apps · AI Consulting & Implementation · Our Europe Commitment
“We built QuoteFlow because we saw how our customers' best people spent their days reading and retyping data. Today the system reads the drawing – and the estimator decides. That's how AI belongs in the mid-market: as a tool that makes skilled people faster.”

What is PM QuoteFlow – in one sentence?
PM QuoteFlow is our own AI product for technical quote creation in contract manufacturing: it automatically reads inquiries, drawings, and CAD files (STEP/DXF), calculates the costs – and your team reviews and approves instead of retyping.
Do we need to implement a new system for this?
No – that's the whole principle of QuoteFlow: it works with what you already use. Connectors exist for SAP, Odoo, proALPHA, abas, Dynamics, Infor, APplus, and Sage, among others. The data flows directly into your ERP, without duplicate entry.
How reliable is the automatic calculation?
As reliable as your best estimator – just faster. The knowledge of your experienced employees is turned into consistent calculation logic, and every calculation is fully and traceably documented: traceable instead of a black box.
Which companies benefit from QuoteFlow?
For contract manufacturing companies where technical inquiries tie up hours to days – such as CNC manufacturing, injection molding, powder coating and industrial coating, or mechanical engineering. QuoteFlow is already live in production there, for example at a contract coater.
What does it deliver in concrete terms?
Quote turnaround time from hours to minutes, up to three times more answered inquiries without new hires – and your best specialists spend their time on decisions instead of data entry, which today eats up 60 to 80 percent of their quoting time.
How do we get started?
With a demo on one of your real quote cases – or with the maturity check at pm-quoteflow.de. After that, you'll know which of your inquiry types can be automated and what that means in hours per week.
Which documents does QuoteFlow read?
Technical drawings and inquiry documents in common formats – PDF, STEP, DXF. From these, QuoteFlow extracts the features relevant to the calculation and suggests a calculation.
How does the calculation learn our prices?
From your previous quotes and your stored hourly rates, material, and machine costs. The system calculates with your numbers – not industry averages.
Does control stay with the estimator?
Always. QuoteFlow prepares, your estimator reviews, corrects, and approves. Every line item is traceably broken down – no black-box price leaves the building.
What does QuoteFlow cost?
License plus setup, depending on inquiry volume and manufacturing depth. In the initial conversation, we work through with you at what quote volume the investment pays off – honestly, with your numbers.
