New inquiry: 'Do you do custom aluminum machining? What are your minimums?'

Without Kazozo
Sales team answers manually or email bounces around. Response takes 24+ hours.
With Kazozo
Agent answers instantly with capabilities, minimum orders, typical lead time, and next steps.
Prospect gets immediate answer and moves to qualification if interested.
Capability inquiry
Do you do custom aluminum machining? What's your minimum order?
Yes, we specialize in custom CNC aluminum machining. Our minimum order is 50 units for custom work. Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks from order to delivery. What are you looking to make?
Enclosures for our electronics. Want to get specs together.
Perfect! I can help you prepare a detailed RFQ. Do you have CAD files or sketches? Or would you like to describe the specs and we'll help you compile a formal RFQ?
We have CAD files. What do we need to provide?
Send me your CAD files, required quantity, tolerances, material specs, and delivery timeline. Our engineering team will review and send you a quote within 2 business days. Want to get started now?

RFQ Detail Collection & Validation

Product Engineer

Customer submits RFQ for custom steel brackets, 500 units, but missing tolerances and surface finish specs.

Without Kazozo
Engineer has to email back-and-forth to get missing specs. Days lost. Production can't plan.
With Kazozo
Qualifier Agent asks all missing questions, validates spec completeness, flags any concerns.
Complete, validated RFQ ready for engineering. No back-and-forth needed.
RFQ qualification
Need 500 custom steel brackets. CAD attached. What else do you need?
Thanks for the CAD! A few clarifications: What tolerances on the main holes—±.005"? And what surface finish—paint, powder coat, or raw?
±.01" tolerance, powder coat black.
Perfect. Delivery timeline? And any special packaging or labeling requirements?
8-week lead time is fine. Standard bulk packaging.
Excellent! I have all the specs now. Engineering is reviewing your CAD and will send a quote with lead time by EOD tomorrow. Anything else?
Nope, thanks!

Quote Negotiation & PO

Buyer at Manufacturing Company

Received quote for $12,500 for 500 brackets. Wants volume discount and extended payment terms.

Without Kazozo
Back-and-forth emails about pricing and terms. Delays decision. Buyer gets frustrated.
With Kazozo
Sales Agent handles volume discount calculation, proposes payment terms alternatives, and closes deal.
Purchase order signed same day. Production can plan with certainty.
Quote negotiation
Quote looks good but can you improve pricing on volume? We might do 1,000 units/year.
Great news! 1,000 units annually qualifies for a 12% volume discount. New price: $11,000 per 500-unit batch.
Better. What about payment terms?
We typically do 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. For your volume, we can offer net-30 terms with a signed PO. Does that work?
Perfect. Let's do it.
PO sent to your email for signature. Once signed, production starts immediately. Delivery week 8. I'll keep you updated on progress.
Agent 04 · Content Agent

Spec sheet generation
Generate spec sheet for the aluminum extrusion RFQ we just qualified.
Done! I've created a detailed Manufacturing Spec Sheet including: material grade, extrusion profile, tolerance stack-up, surface finish, anodizing specs, packing requirements, and QC checkpoints. Ready to send to production.
That was fast. Any flags?
One note: Customer needs tight .005" tolerance on the bore diameter. That may require secondary finishing. Want me to flag this as a potential cost/timeline risk?
Yes, do that. They should know about it.
Flagged. I'm sending the spec sheet to production and will loop the customer in on the tolerance requirement.

Order Change Management

Customer's Supply Chain Manager

Order is in production. Customer needs accelerated delivery (6 weeks instead of 8) and logo engraving added.

Change processed within hours. Customer knows impact. Production is aware.
Mid-production order change
Can we accelerate delivery to 6 weeks instead of 8? And add logo engraving?
Checking feasibility... Accelerated timeline is possible but adds 15% to cost. Logo engraving adds $0.50/unit (500 units = $250). Want to proceed?
Yes to engraving. Not sure about acceleration. What's the impact?
Acceleration cost: $1,650 extra. New delivery date would be week 6 instead of week 8. Want to do it?
Actually, let's keep the original timeline but add engraving.
Change order generated: +$250 for logo engraving, no timeline change. Production is updated. You'll receive revised invoice. Anything else?

Order B has a tight tolerance requirement that may slip 1 week. I've alerted the customer that delivery is week 6-7 to set expectations.
Good. Send customers their delivery confirmations.

Agent 07 · Review Manager

Credit is fine.
$45 credit applied to your account. Your final invoice is now approved. Thanks for the feedback—it helps us improve. Anything else?
All good. Great to work with you!

Operations intelligence
Give me this week's operations snapshot.
Weekly Snapshot: 12 active RFQs, 8 in production, 3 ready to ship. Quote-to-PO conversion: 78%. On-time delivery: 94%. Average margin: 32%.
What's driving the 6% late deliveries?
2 orders delayed by tolerance issues, 1 by supplier material delay. Customers were notified early. Opportunity: consider tighter supplier SLAs for long-lead materials.
Good insight. What about customer profitability?
Top 3 customers represent 45% of revenue. Margins range 28-38%. Smallest customers (one-off jobs) at 18% margin—consider minimum order premium. Full breakdown in your dashboard.
