Why cloud-native matters
A cloud-native architecture means greater agility and fewer limitations, empowering manufacturers to respond to customer needs faster and more efficiently. With RADAN Quoting, your quoting process is no longer tied to a specific location or system—it's a modern, flexible tool designed for today’s dynamic manufacturing environments.
RADAN Quoting is designed to help manufacturers create precise, consistent, and competitive quotes that build trust with customers and increase the likelihood of winning orders. By utilizing real manufacturing data and advanced algorithms, it ensures every quote reflects accurate time and material estimations, giving your business a competitive edge.
How RADAN Quoting ensures competitive quotes:
- Data-driven precision:
RADAN Quoting leverages actual machine data and material information from Hexagon's Sheet Metal Fabrication Suite. This ensures every quote is backed by real-world manufacturing insights, accurately reflecting the time and resources required for production. - Optimised material and machining costs:
The software estimates material consumption and machining times using proven algorithms, helping manufacturers provide competitive pricing without sacrificing profit margins. - Consistency across quotes:
By standardizing the quoting process, RADAN Quoting eliminates variability and human error, ensuring all quotes are consistent and aligned with industry standards. - Reduced specialist dependency:
With its intuitive interface and Digital Twin technology, RADAN Quoting minimizes the need for specialist manufacturing knowledge. This allows more team members to create competitive quotes quickly and confidently. - Quick adjustments for market dynamics:
The flexibility to adjust parameters, such as material costs or production times, allows manufacturers to adapt quotes to market trends and customer demands while staying competitive. - Transparent and professional presentation:
Clear, data-backed quotes instill confidence in customers, showing that pricing is both fair and reflective of the true cost of production.
Why competitive quotes matter
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, customers demand quick, reliable, and competitive pricing. RADAN Quoting empowers manufacturers to meet these expectations while maintaining profitability, enabling businesses to secure more orders and strengthen customer relationships.
RADAN Quoting leverages shared data capabilities within Hexagon’s Nexus platform to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency across manufacturing processes. By sharing material and manufacturing data between applications like RADAN Quoting and RADAN Bending, it ensures consistency, reduces duplication, and promotes collaboration across teams and processes.
How shared data works in RADAN Quoting:
- Centralised data on Nexus:
RADAN Quoting uses the Nexus cloud platform to store and access material data centrally. This shared resource ensures all applications in the RADAN ecosystem, such as RADAN Bending, use the same up-to-date and accurate information. - Consistency across workflows:
Shared data eliminates discrepancies between quoting and production processes. The material and machining data used in quotes are the same as those applied during manufacturing, ensuring alignment and accuracy. - Reduced manual input:
With material and process data preloaded and shared, there’s no need to manually enter or duplicate information across systems, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. - Streamlined collaboration:
Teams across quoting, production, and bending processes work from the same data source, promoting better communication and ensuring everyone is aligned on project requirements. - Improved accuracy in estimates:
By integrating real-world material and machine data into the quoting process, RADAN Quoting enhances the accuracy of cost and time calculations, helping manufacturers deliver reliable and competitive quotes. - Flexibility for customisation:
Shared data ensures any updates to material specifications or manufacturing parameters are reflected across all connected systems, allowing for dynamic adjustments and greater agility.
The benefits of shared data:
Efficiency gains: Automates data flow, reduces repetitive tasks, and accelerates the quoting process.
Error reduction: Ensures consistency and accuracy by eliminating manual data entry.
Improved collaboration: Unites quoting, design, and production teams with a single source of truth.
Scalability: Supports large and complex manufacturing operations by providing a unified data platform.
Why shared data matters
In modern manufacturing, disconnected systems can create inefficiencies, errors, and delays. RADAN Quoting’s shared data functionality ensures smooth transitions from quoting to production, driving accuracy, consistency, and productivity across the entire manufacturing process.
RADAN Quoting is designed with an intuitive user interface that ensures ease of use, allowing teams to quickly generate accurate and competitive quotes without the need for specialized manufacturing knowledge. Whether you're a new user or a seasoned professional, the straightforward interface makes navigating the quoting process seamless and efficient.
How the intuitive user interface works:
- Simplified workflow:
RADAN Quoting guides users through each step of the quoting process with a clean, user-friendly layout. Users can easily navigate from uploading customer data to generating quotes without feeling overwhelmed by complex options or settings. - No specialist knowledge required:
The intuitive design minimizes the need for specialized knowledge or training. Even users without deep manufacturing expertise can quickly learn to create accurate, competitive quotes, reducing reliance on skilled professionals. - Clear, visual dashboard:
The dashboard provides a clear, visual overview of key tasks and metrics, such as the number of quotes in progress or active quote status. Users can track their work and make adjustments as needed with minimal clicks. - Drag-and-drop functionality:
Simple drag-and-drop options allow users to upload CAD files or other data with ease, streamlining the quoting process and improving speed. - Real-time preview and adjustments:
Users can instantly see how changes to parameters—like material costs or part dimensions—affect the final quote, enabling them to make quick adjustments and deliver accurate pricing in real-time. - User-friendly data entry:
Minimal data entry is required, thanks to automatic data population from shared resources, reducing the risk of errors and the time spent inputting details manually. - Customisable views:
The interface is flexible, allowing users to personalize their dashboard, quote templates, and reporting views, ensuring it suits their specific needs and preferences.
Why an intuitive user interface matters
In manufacturing, time is critical, and user errors can be costly. RADAN Quoting’s intuitive interface accelerates the quoting process by enabling teams to quickly generate accurate quotes while reducing the potential for mistakes.
