Platform Features

Every Feature Solves a Real Pain.

Each stage was designed to eliminate a specific daily problem — not just add a capability. See the pain first, then the solution.

Every workflow in FIBC.AI is designed to be machine-readable — structured, validated, and version-controlled — so when intelligence layers on top, it has something real to work with.

Problems this phase solves
  • Enquiries come in on WhatsApp, email, phone — specs scattered, nothing standardised
  • Missing fields only get noticed at the planning stage — hours wasted going back to the customer
  • No unique identifier — same enquiry picked up twice by different people
  • If the person who took the call is on leave, the enquiry sits in their inbox and goes nowhere
📋
Phase 1

Requirement Gathering

Single Source of Truth — every enquiry structured, validated, and traceable from the moment it enters the system.

Unique Enquiry ID

Auto-assigned at creation. No duplicates across teams or geographies.

📎

RFQ Document Upload

Attach the customer's RFQ directly. Everything in one place, always accessible.

📦

Multiple Bags, One Enquiry

Multiple bag types under one enquiry — each gets its own unique identifier.

Automated Validations

Rules-based validation prevents incomplete or contradictory specs entering the system.

👁️

Condition-Based Fields

Fields appear/hide based on prior selections — relevant specs only.

📐

Unit Conversion Tool

Built-in kg/lbs, mm/inch — no manual conversion, no errors.

Problems this phase solves
  • Planning one bag type takes up to 2 hours — done manually in Excel or from memory
  • Only one or two senior engineers can plan accurately — they become the bottleneck for every enquiry
  • Junior quotes ₹310. Senior says ₹350. Same bag, same customer — no consistency
  • A new bag type or spec change means re-doing the entire logic from scratch
  • When that engineer leaves, the knowledge walks out with them

Phase 2 · The Core

🔄

Easily Configurable

New bag types added without developer effort.

🖥️

Single Screen Preview

Complete plan for every component on one screen — no tab-switching.

♾️

Unlimited Permutations

Explore every combination of specs and quantities instantly.

Problems this phase solves
  • PP prices change week to week — open quotes are priced on rates from last month
  • 12 open enquiries, rates just moved 8% — no one knows which ones are still profitable
  • Updating rates means reopening and recalculating every quote manually, one by one
  • Customer wants pricing in USD, costing is in INR — conversion is done differently by each person
  • Margin is visible only at the end — by then the price has already been discussed with the customer
💰
Phase 3

Dynamic Costing

Cost in your domestic currency. Quote in the customer's currency. Daily master table keeps every open enquiry current — automatically.

Cost in INR, quote in USD — built-in currency conversion at every step.

📊

Margin Visibility

Cost, margin, and price visible simultaneously — no guesswork.

🔀

Unlimited Variants

🔧

Customisable Parameters

Define your own overheads, conversion rates, margin structures.

🔄

Live Recalculation

Rate changes ripple through every open enquiry automatically.

Problems this phase solves
  • Three bag types, two quantities each — an hour laying out the PDF manually
  • A typo in the price, and the customer has already forwarded it to their procurement team
  • Customer has v3. You're working on v5. Production used v4. Nobody knows which is live.
  • Multi-bag comparison requires a separate spreadsheet that someone has to maintain by hand
📄
Phase 4

Quotation Lifecycle

From first draft to PO closure — PDF generation, revision cycles, version control, bag comparison. The complete quote lifecycle in one place.

Quote History — ENQ-2024-008473 Versions
v1 — Apr 25Sent · No response
v2 — Apr 26Revised · Qty changed
v3 — Apr 28Pending Approval
PDF GeneratedIn 4 seconds
📄

PDF Quote Generation

Professional, branded PDF quotes generated instantly — no formatting errors.

🔄

Revision Cycle

Customer sends back changes? Capture revised RFQ, update quote — full cycle tracked.

📚

Versioning & Revisioning

Every version and revision tracked separately.

🔒

Locked Versions

Old versions read-only once superseded — no accidental edits.

⚖️

Bag Comparison View

Compare any bag, any version, side by side.

PO Closure

Confirm PO in the platform — work order creation triggered automatically.

Problems this phase solves
  • Customer asks for a revised price — entire costing has to be redone manually from scratch
  • Revision is done over email, WhatsApp, phone — no single place where the change is captured
  • v7_FINAL_FINAL_revised2.pdf went to production. They used v5. Order remade. Two weeks lost.
  • No way to see what changed between revision rounds — just comparing PDFs side by side
  • Re-costing uses old rates — nobody checks if material prices moved since the original quote
📝
Phase 4b · Focused Stage

Quote Revision

A dedicated revision stage — not a versioning footnote. Every customer change tracked, re-costed, and re-issued with full traceability.

📥

Capture Revised RFQ

Upload customer's revised document against the same enquiry — full context preserved.

🔄

Re-trigger Costing

Each revision re-costs at today's rates — not the rates from the original quote.

📚

Version & Revision History

Version = customer iteration. Revision = internal rework. Both tracked separately.

⚖️

Bag Comparison View

Compare bag variants across revision rounds — see exactly what changed.

Approval Workflow

Revised quotes go through the same approval path — nothing leaves without sign-off.

🔒

Locked Previous Versions

Old versions read-only once superseded.

Problems this phase solves
  • Production re-types every spec from the quote PDF — errors happen, and they're expensive
  • Misread 600kg SWL as 6,000kg — entire order remade, three weeks and a client complaint
  • The planning data built over hours doesn't carry forward — work order starts from a blank form
  • No link between the work order and the original enquiry — zero traceability if something goes wrong
  • PO confirmation triggers a round of manual data entry across teams and systems
🏭
Phase 5

Work Order & ERP

PO confirmed → work order created. No re-entry. No handoff gap. Data flows forward from the planning engine directly into production.

ERP API Integration

📦

Per-Bag Work Orders

Each bag variant gets its own spec-accurate work order.

🔍

Full Traceability

Every WO links back to its enquiry, plan, cost, and quote.

Zero Re-entry

Not a single field typed twice — from requirement to work order.

📊

Work Order Tracking

Track WO status across the production cycle — creation to fulfilment.

"The data your team spent hours building in planning doesn't vanish at PO — it becomes the work order. That's the difference between a quoting tool and an operations platform."
