CUSTOM MANUFACTURING INQUIRIES

From “Can you make this?”
To a clearer
RFQ.

Help buyers explain what they need made, how many, and when. Tellfully gathers the missing details in a conversation and fills your inquiry form for review—giving your team context before the first response.

No signup to try the demo. Buyers can speak or type.

THE NEXT QUESTION“When would you need the parts delivered?”

Part, quantity, and material captured. Delivery timing still to ask.

EVERY ORDER STARTS WITH REQUIREMENTS

Make room for the details behind the part.

A prototype, a production run, and a replacement part need different conversations. Let your questions reflect the work you actually take on.

01 / PROTOTYPES

“We need a few parts to test an idea.”

Collect what the part is for, the proposed material, and initial quantities. Buyers can explain what is decided and what still needs discussion.

Intended useInitial quantity
02 / PRODUCTION RUNS

“Can you make 200 of these?”

Ask about quantities, materials, and target delivery. Give your team the starting details to assess fit and request the technical specifications.

Quantity & materialTarget delivery
03 / CUSTOM REPLACEMENTS

“The original part is no longer available.”

Capture what the part does and what information the buyer already has. Your team can follow up about dimensions, drawings, or a physical sample.

Play the buyer. Describe a small production run and watch a project brief take shape.

Custom manufacturing requestHow it works ↓

Imagine you need 200 mounting brackets.

Try the sample order, or describe a part you need made. Use made-up project details.

No signup. Nothing is sent to a business.

Voice uses your microphone and is processed by Google Gemini. Tellfully doesn’t store your audio. Use made-up details.

Use made-up details. Demo conversations expire after 30 minutes and stay out of business lead inboxes.

FITS THE WAY YOU ALREADY WORK

Keep your form.
Make it easier to answer.

Tellfully adds a conversational option to supported website forms. Your team keeps its existing submission process.

  1. 01

    Connect your RFQ or project inquiry form.

    Select your existing form and check the supported fields. Include the information your estimators need to understand an incoming request.

  2. 02

    Try a buyer’s project brief.

    Test different quantities, undecided materials, and delivery targets. Check the answers before publishing and adding the supplied code to your form page.

  3. 03

    Buyers review the details before sending.

    Tellfully fills supported fields. The buyer checks the request and submits through your original form. Your team follows up to assess specifications and feasibility.

BEFORE YOU PUT IT ON YOUR SITE

Before it joins your RFQ process.

Will Tellfully calculate a manufacturing quote?

No. It gathers inquiry details for your team to assess. It does not calculate prices, validate designs, or commit to tolerances, production capacity, or delivery dates.

Can I ask about quantities, materials, and specifications?

Yes. Configure the supported fields and questions around your intake process. Buyers can describe intended use, quantities, materials, and requirements in their own words.

Does the conversation read CAD files or technical drawings?

This demo collects text or spoken details. It does not inspect CAD files or drawings. Any existing upload step should be tested separately; your team still reviews the actual technical documents.

What if a buyer hasn’t chosen a material?

Let them say undecided. You can make technical questions optional or accept an unknown answer, so an early-stage buyer can still start a conversation.

Does it replace our estimating or ERP system?

No. Tellfully helps complete your existing intake. Your form keeps its submission and delivery process, and your team continues qualification and estimating in its usual tools. Check compatibility.

Can buyers type instead of speaking?

Yes. They can type their answers or use the original form. The conversation is optional, and buyers review the filled details before submitting.
