What Machiniq does

The whole loop, automated.

Six modules running end-to-end so a customer email becomes a sent quote without copying a single dimension into Excel.

RFQ inbox monitor

Machiniq watches your quotes@ inbox, detects PDF drawings, and queues them for parsing — every two minutes, automatically.

Deterministic calc engine

Pure-Python math, no LLM in the math path. RPM, IPM, length-of-cut, setup time, and pricing match your Excel template to four decimal places.

Drawing parser

pdfplumber + PyMuPDF + Tesseract pipeline pulls drawing #, revision, material, quantity, threads, and dimensions — text layer, vector tables, or scan.

Branded customer PDF

WeasyPrint renders a clean quotation with your shop logo, brand colors, and terms — no machine names, hourly rates, or internals shown.

One-click email send

Approve a quote and it lands in the customer's inbox with the PDF attached. Quote moves to Sent. Dashboard updates in real time.

Sales dashboard

Win rate by count and value, on-pace projection, loss-reason breakdown, follow-up reminders. Everything the Miknar tracker did, automatic.

How it works

From inbox to PDF in three steps.

Connect your inbox

Plug in your IMAP credentials (Gmail app password, Outlook, anything). Machiniq polls every two minutes, looking for PDF drawing attachments.

Review the draft

Each RFQ becomes a draft quote pre-filled with extracted fields. Low-confidence ones get yellow flags. Pick the machine, tweak setup hours, see the price update live.

Approve & send

One click renders a branded customer PDF and an internal shop report. Approve & email — the quote leaves your address, gets logged, and shows up on the dashboard.

Pricing

Simple, per-shop pricing.
