Case study
Turning application requirements into governed quotes for a drilling-equipment manufacturer.
Drilling-equipment manufacturer
Carric gave Application Engineering and Sales one controlled path from customer requirements to technically suitable configuration and commercial offer.
The customer asked for a rig. The manufacturer had to prove the application, configuration, tooling, and commercial promise together.
One of our clients, a drilling-equipment manufacturer, configures rigs for applications defined by drilling method, formation, depth, diameter, capacity, mobility, handling, tooling, site conditions, operator needs, service support, delivery, and commercial terms. A model match is only the start of the technical response.
Before Carric, Sales and Application Engineering assembled requirements through questionnaires, email, calls, catalogs, engineering references, prior applications, option rules, and price books. Missing requirements delayed the match. Nonstandard options moved through separate technical and commercial conversations, and quote assumptions could drift across revisions.
One geothermal application exposed the recurring constraint. A suitable base rig was clear, but the requested rod-handling and mast combination exceeded one standard package rule. The team needed to preserve the operating objective, validate capacity and compatibility, prepare a technically bounded exception, and keep engineering approval separate from commercial approval.
Carric built a drilling application and quote system. It structures the customer application, validates requirement completeness, matches rigs and tooling, checks capacity and option compatibility, prepares assumptions and exception options, and routes technical fit to Application Engineering leadership. Commercial exceptions follow a separate Sales approval. The approved configuration, quote, CRM, and ERP records share one versioned trace.
Catalogs, option rules, engineering references, prior applications, and nonstandard conditions were reviewed separately.
A change in configuration could alter tooling, support, price, delivery, and the customer explanation.

01 / 02 · Application and quote queue
Application Engineer sees which cases can move, which need evidence, and which require human review.
The queue organizes application engineering by operating consequence, owner, decision window, and current state.
How a drilling application becomes a technically suitable commercial offer
Every quote now carries the application, compatibility evidence, assumptions, and separate approvals behind it.
Carric prepares the technical and commercial path. Application Engineering approves suitability and nonstandard configuration. Sales leadership approves commercial exceptions.
What changed operationally
Configured-rig knowledge becomes a governed operating capability without removing engineering judgment.
Sales can move faster because requirements, fit, assumptions, exceptions, approvals, and quote revisions stay in one system.
Complete application record
Drilling method, formation, depth, capacity, mobility, tooling, support, and constraints stay connected.
Fit checked before pricing
Rig, option, tooling, capacity, and compatibility evidence is reviewed before the commercial offer.
Technical and commercial authority separated
Engineering suitability and commercial exceptions are approved independently and in sequence.
Assumptions preserved
Every quote revision retains the configuration, evidence, decisions, CRM, and ERP confirmation.
