Run every commercial request from RFQ to repeat order.

Elentaria captures incoming requests, structures technical and commercial requirements, coordinates costing, quotations, approvals, orders, billing, and follow-up across the systems your team already uses.

Respond before opportunities go cold

Keep orders and revenue aligned

Carry approved information into orders, delivery coordination, invoicing, payment follow-up, and repeat-business activity.

The manufacturing commercial lifecycle

From incoming RFQ to repeat business.

Elentaria connects request intake, requirements, costing, quotations, orders, billing, and account growth so information is captured once and each action moves the commercial process forward.

01RFQ and qualification

Turn every incoming request into a qualified commercial case.

Elentaria captures RFQs and customer enquiries from the channels your team already uses, identifies the customer and request, creates the required records, and routes the opportunity to the right owner and next action.

Capture the request

RFQs from email, forms, portals, sales representatives, and connected channels, including attachments, drawings, specifications, products, quantities, and requested dates.

Understand the opportunity

Customer identification, account history, requested products or services, commercial potential, timing, previous quotations, and missing-information detection.

Qualify and route

Ownership assignment, priority, acknowledgement, clarification requests, qualification decisions, deadlines, and timely follow-up.

  1. RFQ received
  2. Customer and request identified
  3. Records created
  4. Opportunity qualified
  5. Next action assigned
02Requirements and feasibility

Turn fragmented requirements into a decision-ready case.

Elentaria structures the available technical and commercial information, identifies gaps and constraints, and coordinates the reviews required before costing and quotation can begin.

Structure the requirements

Drawings, specifications, materials, dimensions, tolerances, quantities, certifications, delivery expectations, documentation, and customer-specific conditions.

Check fit and constraints

Product and service fit, available manufacturing information, historical jobs, lead-time inputs, known constraints, and areas requiring engineering or operational review.

Resolve gaps and exceptions

Missing specifications, conflicting information, clarification questions, specialist review, ownership, customer communication, and approval to proceed.

  1. Requirements extracted
  2. Gaps identified
  3. Reviews coordinated
  4. Clarifications resolved
  5. Case approved for costing
03Costing and quotation

Move from requirements to an approved quotation.

Elentaria brings costing inputs, pricing rules, customer terms, margin requirements, and approvals together so quotations can move forward without fragmented spreadsheets, messages, and documents.

Build the costing basis

Relevant material, labour, tooling, subcontracting, packaging, freight, historical-job, and other costing inputs available from connected systems and company information.

Apply pricing and terms

Margins, customer-specific pricing, quantity breaks, minimum-order rules, surcharges, payment terms, delivery terms, quotation validity, and commercial conditions.

Prepare and approve

Quotation preparation, margin review, discount approval, non-standard terms, revisions, customer delivery, follow-up, and stalled-quotation detection.

  1. Costing inputs collected
  2. Pricing applied
  3. Exceptions reviewed
  4. Quotation approved
  5. Customer follow-up triggered
04Order and delivery coordination

Turn an accepted quotation into an accurate commercial handoff.

Elentaria validates the customer order against what was quoted, creates and updates the required records, and coordinates changes and status communication across commercial and operational systems.

Validate the order

Purchase order, customer details, products, quantities, specifications, pricing, terms, delivery addresses, requested dates, and differences from the approved quotation.

Create and hand off

Order creation in the existing ERP or order-management system, CRM updates, finance records, production or delivery handoff, customer confirmation, and internal ownership.

Coordinate status and changes

Order changes, revised dates, unavailable inputs, substitutions, delays, missing information, customer updates, and exception routing.

  1. Order received
  2. Quotation matched
  3. Differences resolved
  4. Records created
  5. Handoff confirmed
05Billing and repeat business

Turn completed work into collected revenue and the next opportunity.

Elentaria coordinates billing and payment activity, resolves commercial discrepancies, and acts on purchasing and account signals that indicate a reorder, risk, or growth opportunity.

Prepare accurate billing

Invoice preparation, deposits, milestones, delivery-based billing, order and delivery matching, customer billing details, pricing, terms, and required documentation.

Follow up and resolve

Invoice discrepancies, credit notes, missing information, overdue payments, reminders, payment promises, disputes, and escalation to the responsible person.

Create repeat business

Reorder patterns, recurring requirements, expected replacement or replenishment, expiring quotations or agreements, dormant accounts, related needs, and account-owner outreach.

  1. Billing event confirmed
  2. Invoice prepared
  3. Payment monitored
  4. Account signals evaluated
  5. Next opportunity triggered
Your team stays in control

Automate coordination. Keep technical and commercial judgment where it belongs.

Elentaria moves routine commercial work forward automatically while keeping feasibility decisions, costing, pricing, lead-time commitments, approvals, and unusual customer requirements visible to the responsible team.

Approvals

Keep control of technical feasibility, costing, margins, discounts, lead times, payment terms, delivery commitments, and non-standard commercial conditions.

Exceptions

Missing drawings, unclear specifications, conflicting requirements, unusual costing, purchase-order differences, order changes, and billing discrepancies are routed to the appropriate person.

Visibility

Review what was captured, which checks were completed, which systems were updated, what was communicated to the customer, and what action is waiting for the team.

Common questions

Does Elentaria replace our ERP, CRM, MES, or engineering systems?

No. Elentaria coordinates commercial work across the systems your teams already use. Your ERP, CRM, MES, product, engineering, finance, and operational systems remain responsible for their existing records and specialist functions.

Can we begin with one manufacturing workflow?

Yes. An implementation can begin with a high-friction process such as RFQ inbox processing, requirement extraction, costing coordination, quotation preparation, purchase-order validation, invoice matching, or reorder follow-up, then expand into connected areas.

Can Elentaria process drawings, specifications, and other technical documents?

Elentaria can capture, extract, organise, and compare information available in documents and connected systems. It can identify missing or conflicting details and coordinate review, but final engineering and technical decisions remain with the responsible specialists.

What happens when requirements change or information is incomplete?

Elentaria identifies the missing information, conflict, or change, pauses the relevant action when necessary, and routes the case to the responsible person with the available customer, technical, and commercial context.
