Built for UK manufacturers and engineering firms
RFQ and quote automation
Knowledge capture and process documentation
Private deployment to protect designs and IP
The problem
Quoting and knowledge gaps slow the whole operation
Manufacturers lose real time at the front of the process. RFQs arrive as emails, spreadsheets and drawings that need manual interpretation before anyone can price them. Quotes take days, and slow quotes lose work.
Scheduling is a constant negotiation between orders, capacity and materials. The knowledge to do it well often sits with a handful of experienced people rather than in any system.
That dependence on individuals is the deeper risk. When a long-serving engineer or estimator retires, decades of process knowledge can leave with them, and it is rarely written down.
What Generativ does
Focused AI systems, measured on outcomes
We target the front-of-process and knowledge bottlenecks that slow throughput, with systems built to run on your own infrastructure.
RFQ automation
Read incoming RFQs from email, documents and drawings, extract the key requirements and structure them ready for pricing.
Quote automation
Draft quotes from your pricing rules, historic jobs and current inputs, so estimators review and send rather than build from scratch.
Knowledge systems
Capture how your firm actually works into a private, searchable system that any authorised member of staff can query.
Process documentation
Turn expert know-how and existing records into clear, maintainable process documentation before it is lost.
Scheduling support
Support production scheduling with AI that weighs orders, capacity and materials to suggest workable plans.
Local AI capability
Protect your designs, processes and IP with private deployment
Proprietary designs, tooling and process knowledge are the business. For manufacturing and engineering firms, private deployment matters more than in most sectors. These systems can run entirely on your own infrastructure, so nothing proprietary is sent to external providers. Here, local AI is central rather than a footnote.
