Frequently asked questions
What should be included in quote turnaround time?
Include data collection, supplier requests, rate checks, approvals, document preparation and customer follow-up.
Does faster quoting guarantee more sales?
No. It can improve responsiveness and capacity, but conversion also depends on pricing, service and customer fit.
Why include rework?
Many teams lose hours correcting incomplete or revised quotes. Modelling rework makes the cost of the current process clearer.
What should we do with capacity released?
Decide in advance whether it should improve follow-up, reduce errors, support more enquiries or protect service levels during busy periods.
