Custom RFQ systems for industrial companies

Turn incomplete quote requests into structured, qualified RFQs.

SOULTWARE builds custom RFQ intake and management systems for industrial automation integrators and machine builders. Collect the technical details, files, timelines, and commercial requirements your team needs before estimating begins.

Built around your existing sales and engineering process.

The cost of an unstructured RFQ process

Your engineers should evaluate projects, not chase missing information.

A basic contact form may capture a name and email address, but it rarely collects enough information to estimate an industrial project. The result is unnecessary back-and-forth before your team can determine whether an opportunity is technically and commercially viable.

Incomplete requests

Critical details such as specifications, facility conditions, timing, budget, and expected output are missing.

Scattered project files

Drawings, photos, scope documents, and revisions become fragmented across inboxes and email threads.

Manual qualification

Sales and engineering staff spend time reviewing requests that may be incomplete, unsuitable, or outside your capabilities.

Limited visibility

Ownership, status, internal notes, and next actions are difficult to track consistently.

A workflow built for industrial sales

Collect the right information before the first engineering review.

A custom RFQ system guides prospects through a structured request process and gives your internal team one place to review, qualify, assign, and track every opportunity.

  1. Step 1

    Capture

    Collect company details, project requirements, facility information, budget, target dates, technical specifications, and supporting files.

  2. Step 2

    Qualify

    Use conditional questions and required fields to identify project fit and reduce avoidable follow-up.

  3. Step 3

    Manage

    Assign requests, update statuses, add internal notes, review attachments, and generate a clear RFQ summary.

Customized to your sales process

More than a contact form.

  • Conditional RFQ questionnaires
  • Drawing and specification uploads
  • Project type and application selection
  • Budget and target-date collection
  • Automatic RFQ reference numbers
  • Submission confirmations
  • Internal RFQ dashboard
  • Assignment and ownership
  • Qualification statuses
  • Search and filtering
  • Internal notes
  • Printable or PDF RFQ summaries

The exact fields, approval steps, statuses, and integrations are defined around how your team already evaluates opportunities.

From inbox chaos to a defined process

Make every request easier to evaluate and own.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before a workflow review.

01Is this an off-the-shelf RFQ platform?

No. SOULTWARE builds the system around your products, qualification rules, internal roles, and existing quote process.

02Can the RFQ form change based on the selected project type?

Yes. Conditional questions can display different requirements based on the customer's application, equipment, industry, or project type.

03Can customers upload drawings and specifications?

Yes. The workflow can support drawings, scope documents, photographs, specifications, and other relevant project files.

04Can the system connect to our CRM or ERP?

Integration depends on the software and APIs you currently use. We evaluate integration requirements during the workflow review.

05Do we need to replace our existing website?

Not necessarily. The RFQ workflow can be integrated into an existing website or delivered as a dedicated portal.

06How much does a custom RFQ system cost?

Pricing depends on the workflow, user roles, integrations, file requirements, and internal management features. After the workflow review, SOULTWARE provides a defined scope and proposal.

RFQ workflow review

Find the friction in your current RFQ process.

Request a short workflow review. We will examine how project inquiries currently reach your team, identify missing information and manual steps, and determine whether a custom RFQ system would produce a meaningful operational improvement.

No obligation. The first conversation is focused on understanding your process.
