5 STARS ON CAPTERRA

Manufacturing Solutions Lead
Problems
Reading technical documents is slow. Re-keying them is slower and requires your team to remember every product rule and exception.
Every request looks different
A formal drawing, a spec sheet, a photo of a hand markup, sometimes just an email.
Competitor specs that need translating
The spec names another manufacturer's product, and someone has to know which of yours competes.
Rules nobody wrote down
Configurations that can't go together, mounting styles that cap a height, materials that rule out a finish.
Scope changes after the work is done
The customer wants a different color two days later, and there's no record of the original ask.
Missing details stall the request
A gauge, a color, a dimension isn't in the file, and it sits until someone chases it.
The same details keyed twice
Once into a spreadsheet to work out the answer, then again into the ERP to build the quote.
Solutions
It picks up when the PO arrives and runs until the sales order is in your ERP. Your people review, approve, and handle the exceptions.
Turns every RFQ into a complete technical brief.
Reads the email and attachments, resolves the basis of design, and flags anything missing or outside your rules.
Turns incoming requests into estimate-ready scope.
Connects each request to the right account and project, routes it internally, and confirms the scope before work begins.
Agents
Agents built around what your customers actually send.
vAI turns what your customers send into ERP-ready quotes and orders. No re-keying, no spreadsheets in between.
Reads the email and its attachments, resolves the basis of design, determines material, mounting, dimensions, hardware, and counts, then flags anything your rules don't permit.
Handles a drawing, a materials list, or just an email. Links the request to the right account and project, routes internal requests, and confirms scope with the customer before work starts.
Where the PO arrives already priced. Validates the products, the pricing, and the lead time, then preps the sales order for approval.
Stats
Fewer hands on every order.

Faster order velocity
Fewer emails
Fewer order errors
