Editorial interest 73/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A managed RFQ-prep service for small machine shops: forward customer emails, drawings, and files, and receive a structured packet for an estimator to review.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.

For: Estimators at small machine shops handling quote requests
Worth noticing: The $149 pilot covers 10 RFQs over 14 days; estimators retain pricing and manufacturing judgment.

Field notes

The illustrated intake includes seven PDF drawings and five STEP files, with a revision conflict and an unclear finish specification. Its example output separates parts ready for estimator review from items held for customer clarification. RFQ Relay says shops can begin by forwarding email and files, without portal migration or ERP integration.
