Case Study: a European automotive supplier cuts wire-frame quoting from half a day to 15 minutes with Moravio

European Automotive Supplier cuts wire-frame quoting from half a day to 15 minutes with Moravio

The customer, a European automotive supplier, faced a significant challenge in its quoting process. For each new car seat frame design, an estimator had to manually analyze CAD data, a task that took half a day or more per frame. This slow, error-prone process was critical because inaccurate quotes could lose a multi-year project or lock in an unprofitable price. Moravio was engaged to address this specific operational bottleneck.

Moravio developed a custom wire-analysis tool that algorithmically computes geometry from CAD files. This solution automated the majority of the manual work, reducing the analysis time from half a day to about 15 minutes per frame. The tool flags discrepancies for expert review and integrates with the supplier's existing spreadsheet and ERP systems. This allowed the team to handle frequent design revisions quickly and even identified previously missed errors in both quoting and logistics, such as potentially fitting over 100 more frames per truck.
