KriXis RFQ Growth · Practical tools, visible next steps

Get more inquiries ready to quote. See who buys from you.

Give estimators a queue that shows exactly which buyer details are missing. See which customers account for the most recorded order value so you can decide where to spend your sales time.

The portal connects saved inquiry details, quote follow-ups, and won orders so your team can work from the same records.

01

Give estimators a queue they can act on

Find the inquiries your team can review and the details it still needs.

Filter unquoted inquiries by a missing field such as material or revision. Move a complete intake into estimator review with confirmation, or download the filtered queue for your team.

See a simple example

Filter for missing material grades before the estimating meeting. Move the inquiries with all five intake details entered into review.

02

See how much recorded order value comes from your top buyers

See where customer demand is concentrated and find buyers who came back.

See the share of entered won-order value from your top buyer and top three buyers. Change the time window, filter for buyers with multiple wins, open individual inquiries, and download the buyer list.

See a simple example

Review the last 90 days, then open the recorded wins for your largest buyer to see what they ordered.

03

Schedule quote follow-ups together

Turn a review list into a dated plan in one pass.

Select up to 25 open quotes, choose a date or a business-day shortcut, keep existing dates when needed, and preview each change before saving.

See a simple example

After the Monday sales review, schedule next-business-day follow-ups for the quotes that still need a date.

Explore 20 more workspace tools
04

See where inquiries are waiting for a quote

Know when an inquiry has passed your shop’s turnaround target.

Review median time to the first recorded quote and the share quoted within your target. Set a turnaround target, open inquiries that are still waiting, and download the current view.

See a simple example

Set a three-calendar-day target, then open the oldest unquoted inquiry and confirm the next step with your estimator.

05

Keep open quotes from slipping through

See which follow-ups need attention before another week passes.

Start with due follow-ups, then check open quotes for missing owners, dates, next steps, or aging. See workload by owner, narrow by entered quote amount, and export only the quotes you select for your team.

See a simple example

In your Monday review, filter for one estimator and hand them the three quotes you want them to follow up on.

06

Make the monthly review an owner decision

See what was delivered and what it would take to cover the fee.

Compare published months by inquiries, quotes, wins, recorded order value, and completed work. Check win rate alongside the number of decisions, download the comparison, and use your contribution margin to estimate sales needed to cover the planned fee.

See a simple example

Use a 25% contribution margin to see that about $10,000 in additional monthly sales would cover a $2,499.99 fee. This is a planning example, not a sales forecast.

07

See your daily work together

Give your team one clear place to start.

Review saved inquiry priorities and active website findings together. Filter by owner, due date, work type, or blocker, and download a work brief for your team.

See a simple example

See an overdue buyer follow-up alongside a website fix, then open the appropriate workspace.

08

Prepare a clearer buyer reply

Ask better questions without guessing.

Check recorded evidence, choose the missing details you want to ask about, and prepare a buyer-friendly recap from saved fields. Review everything before sharing.

See a simple example

Choose only the relevant missing specifications and add them to your response draft.

09

Make monthly reviews useful

Bring clear work and next steps to the conversation.

Review saved deliverables, identify items waiting on the client or overdue, and download a meeting agenda and calendar dates.

See a simple example

Prepare the agenda from the saved plan and published report; unpublished drafts stay out.

10

See the work in one place

Find the next website task without opening every page.

Review open findings and failed checks across tracked pages. Filter by owner, overdue work, or items ready to recheck, and download the visible work list.

See a simple example

See two missing descriptions and an overdue task together, then open the exact finding that needs attention.

11

Hand off a clear fix

Give the person doing the work the evidence.

Download a print-ready fix brief for a finding, with the checked page, the observation, a suggested next step, and any saved owner or plan.

See a simple example

Give your web lead a missing-description brief. The portal can check the flag again after the update is published.

12

Put due dates on your calendar

Keep agreed dates in your team’s routine.

Download calendar entries for the dated plans in your current work list and import them into your calendar.

See a simple example

Filter for a web lead’s tasks and import their due dates. If dates change later, download a fresh file and update your calendar.

13

Track important pages

Know when a key page needs another look.

Add up to three public HTTPS pages. KriXis saves the first readable check as a baseline and schedules repeat checks about once a day.

See a simple example

Track your homepage, a machining service page, and your quote-request page. If one can’t be reached, the portal records the failed attempt and keeps the last readable evidence.

14

Plan and recheck fixes

Give each finding a next step and an owner.

Turn a flagged observation into a plan. After the work is done, mark it ready to recheck. A fresh check can show whether the flag cleared on the same page.

See a simple example

If a service page has no search description, assign someone to write one. After they publish it, check again to see whether the new description is present.

15

See what changed

Bring evidence to the next review.

Compare the baseline with the latest readable check. Download a print-ready change brief or CSV history without internal action notes.

See a simple example

Show that a page title was added and an indexing flag appeared. The record shows what the public page returned and when.

16

Action plans & blockers

Know what happens next and what is holding it up.

Save a next-action plan and blocker on each inquiry, with an owner and date. Download a daily action brief for work due now, blocked, or missing a plan.

See a simple example

Waiting on a drawing revision? Save the blocker, name who will ask the buyer, and set the next date. Completing a follow-up keeps the completed action in activity and lets you record a new one.

17

Quote watch

Know which recorded quotes need another look.

See open quotes grouped by days since the first recorded Quote sent stage. Filter by age and owner, then open the inquiry or download the list.

See a simple example

A quote was first marked sent 18 days ago. Review its saved history and decide whether a check-in is useful; the date does not prove the buyer has been silent.

18

Outcome review & results briefs

Know what was recorded, then choose what to improve.

Save win/loss reasons on an inquiry. Review outcomes by UTC close date, owner, and recorded source, then download a printable results brief or CSV for the current filters.

See a simple example

A buyer says a project is delayed. Record Timing on the Lost inquiry, then bring that reason to the monthly review. Unknown reasons stay Not recorded; the report does not guess what caused a decision.

19

Buyer history

Start the next conversation with the story in view.

Open an inquiry to see the same company’s saved requests, stages, next dates, and recorded outcomes within that shop. Download the matching history when useful.

See a simple example

A repeat buyer sends a new request. See their earlier recorded inquiries without merging different company spellings or mixing real inquiries with samples.

20

Follow-up starters

Start with useful wording instead of a blank page.

From Quote watch, choose a review or timing check-in and copy or download an unsent template using the saved request. Your team reviews, edits, and sends it through its approved mailbox.

See a simple example

Ask whether the buyer has questions or whether timing changed. Preparing a starter does not change the saved response, approve it, or send an email.

21

Opportunity priorities

Know which inquiries need attention.

Find due or overdue follow-ups, missing owners or dates, incomplete intake details, and saved responses needing review in one focused list.

See a simple example

A quote is still open, but its follow-up date has passed. Open the record and agree the next action.

22

Estimator handoff

Give your estimator the context, not another search task.

Download a printable brief from a saved inquiry: buyer details, entered requirements, missing-detail questions, owner, and next date. Pricing and feasibility stay with your estimator.

See a simple example

Material grade is missing. The brief keeps it visible as a question instead of guessing the answer.

23

Weekly action pack

Turn the review meeting into a work plan.

Download a printable list or CSV of the current filtered open inquiries, with owners, dates, and reasons for attention. Bring the same list to the team review.

See a simple example

Agree who will act on each open request and when. Record the outcome back in the inquiry workspace.

Available in the portal: Estimator Queue, Buyer Mix, group follow-up scheduling, quote turnaround, and monthly comparisons after reports are published.

The service, price, and rollout—in plain English

Planned managed service: $2,499.99 USD per company per month. KriXis and your team agree the workload, AI allowance, responsibilities, monthly summary, and 20-minute operating review before paid enrollment.

Public page checks read what a page returns. Visitor analytics, Search Console, automatic inbox intake, AI connections, website publishing, and paid enrollment require separate setup and verification.

Priority lists and packs use up to the workspace’s recent-record limit and the filters you choose. Entered quote amounts are not revenue or expected wins. Customer exports should stay with authorized colleagues.

A little clarity

Before the
first conversation.

What should I include in my consultation request?

Include your website URL, the kinds of projects you want, and the main issue you want to solve. A general description is enough for the first conversation.

Where should our machine shop start?

Start with the largest gap in the buyer journey: being found, explaining your fit, receiving useful inquiries, or following up. A consultation can help define that priority and an initial scope.

Can you work with our existing website?

We can review the site you have before recommending a rebuild. The next step depends on its platform, access, content, and the changes needed to support your goals.

How will we know what is improving?

Agree on the measures available to your business, such as search visibility, received inquiries, qualified RFQs, and quoting progress. Keep missing data visible and review outcomes over a period that fits your sales cycle.
