Turn engineering knowledge into better quotations

Use structured engineering knowledge to estimate scope, complexity and engineering effort earlier in the quotation process.

Definition

Quotation engineering is the technical analysis required to create reliable offers for engineered systems, machinery or process plants. Entellia connects requirements with reusable engineering structures and assumptions.

Workflow

How this workflow develops

Follow the engineering information from its starting point to a reusable result. Each step keeps the relevant context connected for the next one.

  1. Engineering step 01

    RFQ or specification

    Capture the available customer requirements, technical scope and still-open assumptions.
  2. Engineering step 02

    Identify modules and functions

    Translate the request into expected equipment modules, functions and variants.
  3. Engineering step 03

    Match reusable templates

    Compare the required scope with structured modules, functions and engineering templates from previous work.
  4. Engineering step 04

    Estimate scope

    Make preliminary tag quantities, automation complexity and expected engineering effort visible.
  5. Engineering step 05

    Prepare quotation basis

    Create a structured technical basis that can continue into project delivery after order intake.

Engineering begins before the order

Technical quotations require decisions while customer requirements, equipment variants and project details are still incomplete. Structured knowledge from previous work can make assumptions and expected effort more visible.

Reuse after order intake

The engineering basis created during quotation can continue into project delivery instead of becoming an isolated sales document.

Typical outputs

  • Expected module structure
  • Required functions
  • Equipment variants
  • Preliminary tag quantity
  • Automation complexity
  • Effort estimation
  • Quotation documentation basis

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Short, factual answers to the questions engineering teams ask first.

How can engineering software improve quotation accuracy?

Engineering software can compare customer requirements with structured information from previous modules, functions and engineering templates. This makes technical scope and expected effort visible earlier.

What is quotation engineering?

Quotation engineering combines customer requirements with technical scope, configuration and expected engineering effort to support a reliable offer.
