Overview
What this solution explores
This concept case study describes an AI-assisted quoting path: parse the brief, apply approved price lists and constraints, draft a structured quote, and stop for sales confirmation before anything reaches the customer.
Business problem
Where work gets stuck today
Pricing knowledge lives in spreadsheets and in people’s heads. Building a quote is slow, inconsistent, and easy to get wrong when exclusions and volume breaks are tribal knowledge.
Existing process
How the work usually moves now
- 01
Sales receives a brief by email or call notes
- 02
Someone finds the latest price list and past similar quotes
- 03
Manual assembly in Word/Excel with tribal exceptions
- 04
Manager review only when someone remembers to ask
Proposed AI workflow
The intended operating path
- 01Capture structured fields from the brief (SKU, volume, region, deadline)
- 02Resolve pricing through an approved rules engine or price tables
- 03Flag exclusions, missing data and out-of-policy requests
- 04Generate a structured draft quote for sales review
- 05Human confirms, then export/send through the normal channel
