We build two things: a CPQ + CRM product that gives manufacturers auditable, defensible quotes in minutes — and bespoke AI & software systems for enterprises whose operations don't fit off-the-shelf software.
The CPQ Engine
Manufacturers lose margin every day to quotes built on instinct — spreadsheets that don't account for real cost, real capacity, or the cash tied up in payment terms. The CPQ Engine replaces that guesswork with a deterministic, six-layer pricing system wrapped in a full sales CRM, from first lead to purchase order.
AI explains and flags pricing decisions. It never sets the price on its own. Every recommended number is traceable back to the cost, capacity, and market data behind it — so a quote can be defended in the room, not just generated.
Deterministic pricing core
Floor, recommended, and ceiling prices are computed from actual cost data — not a model's best guess. The pricing path stays rule-based and auditable end to end.
Lead-to-PO CRM
A full sales pipeline — accounts, deals, quote handoff, proforma invoice approvals, PO reconciliation — with stage progression gated by the artifacts each stage actually requires.
Margin governance built in
Discount tiers route automatically to the right approver based on the band a quote falls into, so pricing exceptions never depend on someone remembering the policy.
Market-aware, not market-led
Competitive benchmarking — sourced from real trade data, not guesswork — flags where a quote sits against the market. It informs the number; it doesn't set it.
Automatic compliance logic
GST splits by ship-to state, PO-vs-PFI mismatch detection, and BOM roll-ups run automatically underneath every quote, catching what manual review misses.
Built for the shop floor, not just sales
Capacity and inventory layers pull from real production data, so a quoted delivery date is a promise the shop floor can actually keep.
One engine. Four quoting modes.
Finished Goods — full product quotes from BOM to shipped SKU.
Sub-Assembly — component and sub-assembly level pricing.
Job-Work — conversion and processing-fee based quoting.
Cost-Plus — customer-specific cost-plus parameter quoting.
…and it doesn't stop at four.
New quoting modes are configured to how your business actually sells — the engine extends to fit your requirements, not the other way around.
Sits inside the systems you already run
The CPQ Engine isn't a system you migrate into — it's a pricing and CRM layer that connects to what you already have. Approved quotes push through as sales orders, cost and inventory data pull in live, and nothing about your existing ERP setup has to change.
Any system with an API can be integrated — ERP, accounting, or any other third-party tool already running in your operation.
Applied AI & Systems Engineering
Not every operation fits a product. When a business runs on a workflow no off-the-shelf tool was built for, we design and build the system around how the business actually works — not the other way around.
Operations digitisation
Replacing paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected trackers with a single system that reflects your actual process — order flow, service workflows, inventory movements, approvals.
Applied AI integration
AI woven into existing operations to explain, flag, and support decisions — never to replace the judgment of the people running the business.
Third-party system integration
Connecting the new system to whatever you're already running — ERP, accounting, distribution, or industry-specific platforms — so nothing has to be ripped out and replaced.
Case studies & white papers
We're preparing detailed write-ups of the work above, along with original research on quoting, pricing, and applied AI in manufacturing. Both are in progress.
Case Studies
Full write-ups on Richi Interiors, RS Comfosys, Sakthi Group, and the CPQ Engine deployment — problem, approach, and measured outcomes. Publishing as each is finalised.
White Papers
Original research on quoting discipline, margin governance, and where AI belongs — and doesn't — in manufacturing decision-making. First release in progress.
Built like a guild, not a startup pitch
We build software the way a guild trains a craftsperson — deliberate, accountable, and never handing over a black box.
Deterministic by default
Pricing and operational logic stay rule-based and auditable. AI explains and flags — it never quietly makes the call.
Built around your process
We map the real workflow first — the one that happens on the floor, not the one in the org chart — before we design anything.
Integrates, doesn't replace
SAP, Tally, Bizom, or any system with an API — we build around what you already run, not against it.
Two focused offerings
A single product built deep for manufacturers, and a services practice for everyone whose operation needs something built from scratch.
Quoting on guesswork, or systems that don't fit your business — let's fix it.
Tell us what you're running today and what's not working. We'll tell you honestly whether the CPQ Engine fits, or whether it's a custom build.
