Engineers per RFQ, at the same volume

62%

More RFQs

Automotive suppliers now handle 62% more RFQs than two decades ago, absorbed through longer hours rather than added capacity (CAR Group, 2025).

The Challenge

Weeks to quote, deals lost

IMS Gear's quote ran through three departments by hand, taking weeks the market no longer allows.

The Solution

Standardized quoting in 10 minutes with specialist AI agents

A team of specialist AI agents, built by IMS Gear's own engineers on Synera, standardized the process and returns a quote in 10 minutes.

More about this workflow

“At the beginning, I needed two of my engineers doing the RFQs, but today it can be done by one. Doing the same amount of quotations, and then going even faster.”
