Adoption-X
For German manufacturers selling and building in the U.S.

Every open question on an RFQ costs you a day.

Your U.S. team receives the inquiry. Engineering in Germany prices it. Six hours apart, every missing detail is another round trip. We prepare each RFQ so that engineering starts its morning with a checked draft and a clarification ready to send.

Book a 30-minute call

One question in the call: how many RFQs a week reach your U.S. team?

6–9 h
between your U.S. customer and your engineering in Germany
1 day
lost with every clarification that goes back and forth
The customer who gets the first firm quote often gets the order. The gaps are rarely in the price — they are in the spec.

What a prepared RFQ looks like

Email and attachments become one checkable draft: every requirement with the document and page it came from, every gap flagged, and the clarification to your customer written out.

Fictitious example in three steps: 1. a dairy emails an RFQ for a CIP system with specification, P&ID and media list; 2. checked: system, circuits, flow rate, wetted parts, hygienic design and commissioning, each with its source, missing controls interface and acceptance scope flagged in red; 3. if nothing is missing, a quote draft with line items from spec and P&ID, prices set by your estimating; otherwise the clarification email to the customer, drafted for your team to review and send.

What you get with every RFQ

The requirements

System, scope, materials, dates

Pulled together from email and attachments into one overview instead of five files.

The source

Where every item comes from

File and page in the original. Anything that cannot be traced to a document is not stated as a fact.

The gaps

What is missing, and the question to ask

Details you cannot quote without — and the clarification to your customer, drafted in English, reviewed and sent by your team.

Pricing stays with your engineers. Nothing goes to a customer without a person sending it.

Start with a test on your own RFQs

Three weeks, remote. The benchmark is already in your files: the quote you wrote back then.

  1. 30-minute call

    We check whether enough RFQs come in. From about 40 a week across your group it pays off. Below that, we tell you so.

  2. Week 1

    You pick 20 closed RFQs with the quote you sent. Together we measure how long preparation takes today.

  3. Weeks 2–3

    We prepare all 20. Your engineer checks them against the original quote. Then a results call with the numbers.

What this is not

Our sister company in Germany, Adoption-X KI Technologie UG, does the same work for plant and machine builders there. That site is in German.

German with your managing director, English with your U.S. team. I know both sides of the reporting line.

You will not be handed to a delivery team. The person you speak with is the person who builds it.
