Urgent parts and configurable equipment quotes that arrive too late
The grower loses a day of harvest because we take too long to quote a part.
Every new-equipment quote goes through engineering and takes two weeks.
Parts are quoted by hand from physical catalogs.
Aftermarket quote time runs into hours when the customer needs it now; on ETO/CTO for new equipment it runs into weeks and the customer buys from whoever made the short list first.
The aftermarket quote-to-order ratio falls short: some of it is lost to timing, some to a lack of technical precision.
