Turning an aerospace manufacturer’s complex RFQs into manufacturable, compliant quotes.

One of our clients, an advanced aerospace and defense manufacturer, receives RFQs containing drawings, material and resin requirements, operating conditions, quality clauses, process specifications, controlled attachments, quantities, and delivery expectations. A commercial response depends on coordinated engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain, and capacity decisions across specialized facilities.

Before Carric, the package moved through email, shared drives, spreadsheets, and separate system checks. Engineering interpreted drawings. Quality reviewed clauses and approved processes. Operations looked for the right facility and capacity. Supply Chain confirmed materials and outside services. Commercial teams waited for those answers before they could prepare a quote.

One RFQ made the constraint visible. The base component matched an existing process, but a drawing revision introduced a quality clause that affected inspection and an outside-process requirement at another site. The response looked nearly complete until the conflict surfaced. The team needed one place to see what matched, what did not, who had authority, and whether every dependency was reflected in the quote.

Carric built a governed RFQ qualification and quote system around the existing engineering, quality, planning, supplier, and commercial sources. It extracts requirements, checks capability and approved processes, identifies missing or conflicting evidence, assesses capacity and supplier dependencies, and assembles a traceable quote recommendation. Engineering and Quality decide technical exceptions. Commercial owners approve the offer.
