Use cases
How Cifral applies to common industrial setups
Illustrative scenarios showing how Cifral fits typical industrial quoting setups, not client results.
An implementation can automate the complete path from RFQ to review-ready proposal, or a single stage — data collection, technical content, pricing, or document assembly. The scenarios below show the full workflow.
Cifral is early-stage and selective about who we work with. The scenarios below are illustrative examples of how Cifral would apply to common industrial setups. They are not based on completed client engagements or measured results.
How it would work for a system integrator
Proposal preparation would move from days to minutes, while the responsible engineer keeps final approval.
The situation
Picture a system integrator spending days on each technical proposal. Sales engineers pull specifications from product sheets, calculate costs in a private spreadsheet, and format a document by hand each time. When two RFQs arrive the same week, one waits. When the lead engineer is travelling, quotes stall.
What we would build
An intake form captures the project variables. Cifral applies the pricing logic and assembles the review-ready proposal in the company's own document template. The responsible engineer receives a notification when the draft is ready for review.
What changes
Proposal preparation would move from days to minutes, while the responsible engineer keeps final approval. Manual document assembly would be less likely to become the bottleneck when several RFQs arrive, and senior engineers would spend their time on technical problems rather than document formatting.
How it would work for a custom equipment manufacturer
Pricing would follow one shared logic, and proposal status would become easier to track.
The situation
Picture a custom equipment manufacturer with three sales engineers, each quoting from their own spreadsheet. Pricing drifts between them. When a key engineer is out, the team falls behind. Management has no visibility into quote status without asking individually.
What we would build
A shared intake form connects to a unified pricing logic layer and a standard proposal template. Every quote runs through the same rules. A status log shows which quotes are in progress and which have been sent.
What changes
Pricing would follow one shared logic instead of three private spreadsheets. Quote preparation would depend less on any single engineer being available, and management would gain visibility into quote status without interrupting engineers.
