Five ways in. One Applications Engineer.

Most companies start with one bottleneck. Axle is one system, and each of these is a place to begin. Start where the pain is, and the rest of the workflow is already there when you want it.

Entry points

Start where the delay is.

Applications Engineering Automation

Technical RFQ→Engineered, validated solution

Axle reads the request, extracts the application, selects, configures and sizes the products, builds the BOM, and validates the result. Your engineer approves a solution instead of starting on a request.

Start here if RFQs wait days for selection and sizing because your engineers are the bottleneck.

Quote Automation

Known parts or BOM→Priced quote in your template

Requests matched to your catalog and price book, customer pricing and margin rules applied, the quote produced in your exact format in minutes. A person approves before it sends. This is the entry tier.

Start here if the parts are known and the delay is in pricing, formatting and sending.

Product Selection & Configuration

Technical requirements→Valid, buildable configuration

Requirements become a selection with its reasoning and a complete configuration checked against manufacturer rules, with alternatives and equivalents shown.

Start here if your products carry long option strings and compatibility rules that only a few people know cold.

Vendor Pricing Automation

BOM→Current cost, availability, lead time per line

Each line priced from your freshest source. Supplier RFQs drafted and sent where none exists, responses read back with dates attached, stale prices flagged and refreshed.

Start here if you quote off aging price sheets or wait on supplier replies before a quote can go out.

Order Automation

Customer PO→Validated order in your ERP

The PO read and checked against the quote line by line, discrepancies flagged, the order created in your ERP once approved.

Start here if accepted quotes get re-keyed by hand and PO mismatches surface at invoicing.

One system behind all five

These aren't five products. Each is a door into the same Applications Engineer, so the workflow you didn't start with is already there when you want it.

Start where it hurts most.
