Built For Manufacturers

Manufacturing Chatbot That Qualifies RFQs Day And Night

Most prospect questions are the same handful — materials, MOQs, lead times, certifications. FastBots learns your capabilities once, answers those questions whenever an engineer hits your site, and captures real RFQ details before passing serious enquiries to your sales team.

Really Common Questions Manufacturing Ask

What is a manufacturing chatbot?

It's an AI assistant on your website that answers the questions prospects ask before they ever reach a sales engineer — what materials you work with, your MOQs, lead times, certifications and industries served. With FastBots, the chatbot is trained on your own capabilities pages, datasheets and case studies, so it answers from your actual shop floor, not generic AI knowledge.

Can it handle RFQ enquiries?

Yes. The chatbot can walk a prospect through the basics — part, material, volume, target delivery date — and collect their contact details and a CAD file when file uploads are enabled. The completed enquiry lands in your inbox, and from there your sales engineers pick up qualified leads instead of fielding cold-call basics.

Will it replace our sales engineers?

No, and it shouldn't. Quoting a custom part is judgement work — material selection, tolerances, tooling, capacity. The chatbot handles the repetitive front-end questions and qualifies the enquiry so your engineers spend their time on serious work, not 'do you do aluminium?' emails.

Does it work for prospects in other time zones?

That's where it earns its keep. Buyers in Asia, North America and Europe land on your site at all hours. The chatbot answers in around 95 languages, captures the RFQ overnight, and your team has a qualified enquiry waiting when they're back at their desks.

Dlaczego FastBots?

Why Manufacturing Use FastBots

Answers RFQ Questions 24/7

Buyers in different time zones don't wait. The chatbot answers capability, material and certification questions whenever they're asked — including at 3am from a procurement team in Singapore.

Captures Real RFQ Details

Configure the lead form to ask for part description, material, target volume and delivery date — not just name and email. Your sales engineers open the enquiry already knowing what they're quoting.

Accepts CAD Files And Drawings

Turn on file uploads and prospects can attach PDFs, drawings or images directly inside the chat, so the enquiry arrives with the spec instead of a 'we'll send it over' promise.

Acts As An AI Agent For Enquiries

FastBots is an AI chatbot that can act as an agentic assistant — gathering RFQ details across the conversation, deciding when to hand off, and pushing the qualified lead into your CRM through a Zapier or Make workflow once the chat ends.

Stays Within What You Actually Do

The bot answers from your own capabilities pages and documents, so it won't promise materials you don't run or certifications you don't hold. You set the guardrails in plain English.

Live Chat For Serious Prospects

On the Business plan ($89/month) and above, a sales engineer can take over the conversation when an enquiry looks worth their time — without forcing the prospect to start again on a new form.

Pushes Leads To Your CRM

Connect Zapier or Make to send captured RFQs into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Microsoft Dynamics. Workflows fire once the chat ends — so no lead sits in an inbox waiting to be re-keyed.

Zna około 95 języków

Export customers and global procurement teams ask in their own language. The chatbot picks it up and responds in kind, and conversation translation in your history makes review straightforward.

Rzeczywiste sytuacje

Gdzie się opłaca

Capability And Materials Questions

Answers the constant 'do you machine [material]?' and 'do you do [process]?' questions from your capabilities pages, so engineers aren't replying to one-line emails all day.

MOQ And Lead-Time Enquiries

Gives realistic ranges based on what you've trained it on, while making clear that firm numbers depend on materials, volume and current capacity. No false promises.

Certification Verification

Confirms which certifications you hold — ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, ITAR registration — so prospects can pre-qualify you before they even submit an enquiry.

Prototype And Low-Volume Triage

Identifies whether an enquiry is a one-off prototype, a pilot run or production volume, and routes the conversation accordingly — including out to a sales engineer when it warrants it.

Overnight RFQ Capture

Captures part details, volumes, target dates and CAD files from international prospects while your shop is closed, so your team starts the day with qualified work in the queue.

Industry Fit Screening

Answers 'do you serve aerospace / medical / defence / automotive?' from your case studies and helps prospects self-qualify before they fill out a longer enquiry form.

Datasheet And Spec Sheet Lookup

Trained on your product datasheets and tolerance guides, so prospects can pull a quick spec answer without emailing engineering for the PDF.

ITAR-Aware Hand-Off

When a conversation moves toward controlled technical data, the bot can stop and route the prospect to a sales engineer instead of discussing specifics in chat. You decide the boundary in the instructions.

Technical, plain and confident — like a knowledgeable inside sales engineer. Never quote firm prices or lead times. Don't discuss ITAR-controlled technical detail in chat. Capture part, material, volume and target date, then route to a sales engineer.

Set Your Quoting House Rules

In Tune AI, tell the bot what it can and can't commit to — no firm prices, no firm lead times, no discussion of ITAR-controlled technical specifics. Route qualified RFQs to the sales team instead.

How FastBots Compares For Manufacturers

Most manufacturers choose between a static contact form, an outsourced answering service that doesn't understand your shop, or just letting overnight enquiries sit until morning. Here's how FastBots stacks up against those.

Często zadawane pytania

Najczęściej powtarzające się pytania przed rejestracją drużyn. Jeśli nie znalazłeś odpowiedzi na swoje pytanie, nasz zespół obsługi klienta odpowie w ciągu kilku godzin w dni robocze.

Can the chatbot quote a price for a part?

No — and it shouldn't try. Quoting depends on material grade, tolerances, finishing, volume, tooling and current capacity. The chatbot's job is to confirm whether the work is in your wheelhouse and capture the detail your sales engineer needs to put together a real quote.

How do we stop it making promises we can't keep?

In the Tune AI section you write plain-English instructions like 'never commit to a specific lead time' or 'always route requests over 10,000 units to a sales engineer'. The bot follows those rules. You can also set a fallback message for anything outside its boundaries.

What about ITAR-controlled technical data?

Don't handle controlled technical data in chat. The right pattern is to instruct the bot that when a conversation touches controlled specifics — drawings, dimensions, regulated materials — it stops and routes the prospect to a sales engineer through the lead form. The chat itself stays at the 'are you ITAR registered, can you discuss this, who do I speak to' level.

Can prospects upload CAD files in the chat?

Yes, when file uploads are enabled. Supported types include PDFs, Word documents, CSVs and common image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. Native CAD formats like STEP or IGES aren't supported — most buyers will send a PDF drawing or a screenshot at this stage, then exchange native files with your engineer over email.

Does it integrate with Salesforce or HubSpot?

Through Zapier or Make workflows rather than as a native integration. When a lead is captured in chat, a workflow fires once the conversation ends and creates the lead or contact in your CRM — Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics or whatever you run. The chatbot itself doesn't update the CRM mid-conversation.

Can a sales engineer take over a live conversation?

Yes, on the Business plan ($89/month) and above. Live Chat lets a team member claim an active conversation, see the history and reply in real time. You set the availability hours and the bot only offers handover during those hours — so a 2am enquiry still gets captured, but doesn't sit waiting for a human who isn't there.

Jakie języki obsługuje?

Around 95 languages. Export prospects often start a conversation in their own language, and the bot responds in kind. You can also translate conversation history into your preferred language inside FastBots on eligible plans, so reviewing overnight enquiries is straightforward.

Jak długo trwa konfiguracja?

Most manufacturers are running on the free plan in under an hour — crawl your website, review what got pulled in, write a short set of house rules in Tune AI, and paste the embed snippet on the site. Adding datasheets, spec sheets and a tuned lead form takes a bit longer, but you can launch with the basics and add depth as you go.

Ile to kosztuje?

The free plan covers 1 chatbot and 50 messages a month with no credit card required — fine for testing on your capabilities pages. Paid plans start at $39/month (Essential), and Live Chat with sales-engineer handover is on the Business plan at $89/month and above. See the pricing page for current limits.

Will it replace our inside sales team?

No. It replaces the repetitive front-end work — 'do you do aluminium', 'what's your MOQ', 'are you ISO 9001'. Real quoting, technical discussion and customer relationships still belong with your engineers. Think of the chatbot as a tireless first-line filter that hands warm, qualified RFQs to the people who can actually win them.
