Contract manufacturers, meet your AI team.
A buyer with a new part sends the RFQ to several shops at once. The one who opens a real conversation first usually gets the program.
PureBrain is an AI teammate for contract manufacturers that captures RFQs around the clock, gathers the part, material, quantity, and timeline details your estimators need, qualifies the opportunity on your criteria, and routes it to the right person - while every feasibility call, tolerance question, quote, and lead-time commitment stays with your engineers and estimators, where it belongs.
We get contract manufacturers
A buyer sourcing a new part or a production run is comparing shops. They send prints and an RFQ to several at once, and the shop that responds first with a real conversation and a clear next step is usually the one that gets shortlisted. Slow response is not a small miss - it is the difference between winning a multi-year program and never being in the running.
But the front of the RFQ process is messy. The details that let you even scope a job - material, quantity, tolerances called out on the print, finish, target timeline, annual volume - have to be captured completely, or your estimator is chasing the buyer for basics instead of quoting. And there is a hard line contract manufacturing must respect: whether a part is manufacturable, whether you can hold a tolerance, what it will cost, and what lead time you can commit to are engineering and estimating decisions. A front-desk assistant must never make them.
How PureBrain helps contract manufacturers
Captures every RFQ 24/7 - call, form, or email - with the material, quantity, finish, target timeline, and volume you specify, and notes when prints or specs are attached, so the buyer who reached out gets a same-day response instead of silence.
Qualifies each opportunity on the criteria you set - part type, materials you run, minimum and target volumes, industry, and timeline - so your estimators spend their time on the work that fits your shop.
Answers general capability questions - the processes you offer, materials and industries you serve, certifications you hold, and typical engagement models - so buyers get a fast answer without pulling an engineer off the floor.
Routes qualified RFQs to the right estimator or engineer with the intake and any attached specs, so quoting starts from complete information.
Follows up on the cadence you choose, so an RFQ that went quiet gets a professional nudge and stays warm instead of going to a faster shop.
Hands off to your team - and stays firmly in its lane. PureBrain captures and routes the RFQ. It never judges whether a part is feasible or a tolerance is achievable, never issues a quote, and never commits a lead time. Every feasibility, manufacturability, and pricing call comes from your engineers and estimators.
Frequently asked questions
Will PureBrain tell a buyer whether we can make their part or hold a tolerance?
No - and that is a hard line. Feasibility, manufacturability, and tolerance questions go straight to your engineers and estimators. PureBrain captures the specs and routes the RFQ; it never makes an engineering determination.
Does it send quotes or commit lead times?
No. It captures the request - material, quantity, timeline, volume - and routes it to your team as a scoped RFQ. Every quote and lead-time commitment comes from your estimators. PureBrain never sends a binding price or promises a delivery date.
Can I control what it captures and who it routes to?
Yes. You define the intake fields, the qualifying criteria, and exactly which estimator or engineer each type of RFQ routes to - by process, material, or volume.
