Manufacturing
The RFQ sat in your inbox. The order went to whoever quoted first.
A buyer sends the same RFQ to four shops. The first accurate quote back usually wins the order, and yours is stuck behind a purchasing agent's morning. We capture every inquiry the moment it lands, get a quote number in front of the buyer fast, and keep every open order, every follow-up, and every supplier commitment somewhere your team can actually see it.

A day at a manufacturer, run by Accelerate
sound familiar?
The problems costing you real money.
These are the issues we hear from manufacturing every week.
Quotes go out too slow to win the order
An RFQ lands by email or through a portal and sits until someone has time to price it. By the time your quote goes out, the buyer already has three others on the desk and picked the fastest one.
Purchase orders and change orders live in someone's inbox
A PO comes in, a spec changes, a ship date moves. If that only exists in an email thread, the shop floor finds out when it is already a problem.
Supplier follow-up is whoever remembers to call
A late shipment from a supplier can shut down a line. Chasing that down usually depends on one person noticing and picking up the phone, not a system that flags it automatically.
Your website doesn't help a buyer qualify you
An engineer or buyer searching for a shop that can run their part finds a site with no capabilities list, no tolerances, no way to submit a drawing. They move to the next search result.
what we build
Purpose-built systems we build and run.
Every solution here is scoped to your operations: your tools, your workflow, your goals.
Instant RFQ Capture and Routing
Every inquiry, whether it lands by email, through a portal, or as a dropped-in drawing, is logged, routed to the right estimator, and acknowledged automatically so the buyer knows it was received.
- RFQ intake from email, web form, and file upload
- Automatic routing to the right estimator by part type
- Instant acknowledgment sent to the buyer
- Drawing and spec attachment logged against the job
- Response-time tracking so nothing goes stale
Quote and Order Tracking
Every open quote, PO, and change order in one place, so a purchasing agent's question about status gets answered in a minute instead of a search through email.
- Quote status visible from submitted to won or lost
- Automatic follow-up on quotes going cold
- PO and change-order log tied to the job number
- Ship-date tracking with automatic alerts on slippage
- Win-rate reporting by customer and part type
Supplier and Vendor Follow-Up
Automated check-ins on outstanding purchase orders to suppliers, so a late shipment gets caught before it stops the line, not after.
- Automated status requests on open supplier POs
- Escalation alerts when a ship date is at risk
- Vendor performance history by on-time rate

A fast, technical site built for the engineer or buyer doing the search: capabilities, tolerances, certifications, and a way to submit a drawing without a phone call.
- Capabilities and equipment list built for search
- Certifications and quality documentation up front
- Drawing upload for instant quote requests
