By winning the two clocks a shop lives on: the RFQ clock, where the first credible quote usually makes the shortlist, and the capacity clock, where an idle machine is margin burning. Here is exactly what the agents do and what they cost.
Buyers batch their RFQs and shortlist fast. The shop that quotes in a day is on the list; the shop that quotes in a week is a formality. But quoting is skilled work that competes with running the floor, so RFQs queue behind spindles, and the easy wins go to whoever answered first.
The second leak is quieter: your job history knows every customer's parts and their reorder rhythms. When the reorder gap stretches, it usually means a competitor got the work. Nobody at most shops watches that gap, because everyone is making parts.
Catches every RFQ the moment it arrives, scores it against your capabilities, materials, and margins, and queues the winnable ones first. Also watches the portals and networks where your kind of work gets posted.
Assembles the quote package from your history with similar parts: pricing references, lead times, certs, terms. Your estimator reviews and sends the same day.
Chases every outstanding quote: the check-in, the requote when material prices move, the nudge timed to their decision window. Quotes stop dying of silence.
Watches reorder rhythms across your whole customer history and flags the gaps. The customer whose quarterly part is overdue hears from you before they finish onboarding your competitor.
The agent does the assembly, your estimator does the judgment. It triages every incoming RFQ against your real capabilities and margins, pulls pricing references and lead times from your own job history, and packages a quote for review. Estimators go from writing quotes to approving them, and your shop makes every shortlist it deserves to be on.
Same prices as everyone: the Revenue Leak Audit is $9,500 fixed, guaranteed to find 10× its fee in annual leak or you don’t pay. Agent builds run $25,000 to $75,000 by scope, and the Scoot platform is $100 to $150 per seat per month. Prices are on the pricing page, the same way your price is on every quote you send.
No. The agents work alongside the tools you already use. The audit maps how work actually happens in your company before anything gets built.
You do, for the long term: the agents, your customer conversation history, and the playbook. The monthly platform fee is run-cost, not rent; you own your trucks and still buy fuel. And we train your people to run and extend the system as your AI program grows.
