Select the pump once — the datasheet and the quotation are generated, not retyped.
An enquiry lands with a flow rate, a head and a delivery date. Someone rebuilds the system curve in a spreadsheet, picks the frame from the catalogue, then retypes duty point, motor kW and flange sizes into a datasheet — and the quotation is assembled after that. In most pump offices the selection, the datasheet and the quotation are three documents built by hand from one calculation. We build tools where that calculation is entered once and every document is generated.
Sound familiar?
The week, as it actually runs.
Every enquiry re-selected by hand
Flow and head come in; the system curve is rebuilt in a spreadsheet each time — even when last month's enquiry was nearly the same duty.
Datasheets assembled after the arithmetic
The selection lives in Excel and the datasheet in Word. Duty point, motor kW and flange sizes are retyped — and one field always drifts between revisions.
Selection knowledge sits with one engineer
One applications engineer holds the ranges, the derating rules and the exceptions in his head. When he is on leave, enquiries queue behind him.
What we would build
One entry at the enquiry. Every document downstream generated.
The centre of it is the Pump & system head selector from our calc library, rebuilt to your ranges: static head plus friction losses from the pipe runs, duty point, NPSH available, motor kW — with your catalogue tables and derating rules coded in rather than remembered. From RM 16,000 fixed at Essential, that is one applications engineer's tool; at RM 32,000 the whole sales office runs selections with a signing limit. If the arithmetic is already trusted and the leak is the retyping — enquiry log to datasheet to quotation — one automated workflow is RM 8,000, fixed.
We should be straight about the proof: no pump distributor is on our client list yet. What we can demonstrate, live on the first call, is our own estimating engine and our parametric CAD — the same method this work needs: deterministic code, your rules, documents generated from one entry. Acceptance is the Re-quote Test — twenty selections you have already made, re-computed by the tool, matched to a tolerance agreed in writing before you pay the balance.
From the calculation library
Same duty point in. Same selection out, every time.
The ladder, in this room
What the three levels look like here.
Essential — RM 16,000
One applications engineer, one selection tool. Flow and head in; duty point, motor kW and a datasheet on your letterhead out. Proved against ten selections you have already made and trust.
Standard — RM 32,000
The whole sales office selects and quotes, with a signing limit. Juniors run the selection, your applications engineer approves the exceptions, and prices are read from the system you already run.
Advanced — RM 36,000 on the Client Portals ladder
Your repeat OEM and plant customers log in to their own enquiries, datasheets and order status — revision B against revision C, with the change shown — instead of phoning your office.
Start here
Bring us the selection workbook only one engineer trusts.
Send one enquiry — the flow, the head, the datasheet and the quotation it produced. We will walk the path the numbers took from system curve to document, and tell you honestly whether a selection tool would pay for itself. The 20-minute review is free.
The workflow review is free, and you don't need to know the technical solution. Describe how the work happens today — that's the whole brief.
