Poly9 · Machined parts and equipment makers

Drawings in, priced quotes out

Engineering buyers seldom order a part as listed. They want the same flange in 316 stainless, the fitting in another brass grade, a tighter tolerance or a different thread. Your Digital Booth shows the price you set for each part and variant, and sends every new drawing or unpriced change to your inbox with the full specification.

What buyers ask

Material and tolerance questions, answered today

A CNC parts exporter hears the same three questions on almost every RFQ. Each one waits for the one person who knows the machine rates.

“Can you make it in another material?”

Mild steel, 304 and 316 stainless, aluminium 6061 and leaded brass each carry a different bar price and cutting time. Buyers ask for two materials before they shortlist a supplier.

“What does a tighter tolerance cost?”

Moving from ±0.1 mm to ±0.02 mm adds machine time, inspection and scrap. Buyers want the price difference and the inspection report you can supply with each batch.

“What is the MOQ and the lead time?”

Setup cost spreads over the batch, so 500 pieces and 10,000 pieces price differently. Buyers compare suppliers on price break, minimum and the date the first lot ships.

How it works

From part photos to quotes you send

You set up your standard range and your prices once. After that, the booth answers engineering buyers from your product data and sends you anything you have not priced.

01

Load your standard parts

Upload your Excel sheet or the phone photos you have of flanges, fittings and turned parts. Poly9 writes each product with its material, size, thread and finish options for you to check.

02

Set your prices and options

Enter a price for each part and variant, the materials, threads and finishes buyers can pick, and one MOQ and lead time per part. Buyers see exactly those prices.

03

Buyers ask in plain words

A buyer types “this fitting in CW614N brass, nickel plated, 10,000 pieces”. The assistant answers from your product data and shows the price you set for that variant.

04

You review new drawings

A new drawing or any option you have not priced shows as price on request and lands in your inbox with the specification. You price it, and one click turns it into a quote.

Your range, as buyers see it

A machined parts catalog engineers can check

Each part in your engineered components catalog carries the details a buyer checks before asking for first-article samples.

  • Material options per part, from mild steel and stainless grades to aluminium and brass
  • Sizes, threads and pressure ratings per variant, with dimensions buyers can check
  • Standard and tight tolerance options, each listed as a variant with its own price
  • Finishes such as zinc, nickel, passivation, anodising and powder coat
  • One MOQ and lead time per part, with price breaks by quantity in the quotes you send
  • Mill certificates and dimensional reports you supply, mentioned in each part’s description

Example data · fictional company

Rajkot Precision Turnings, a fictional CNC parts exporter

Buyer: valve and pump distributor, Rotterdam

“Your 1/2 inch compression fitting in CW614N brass, nickel plated, 10,000 pieces, with a dimensional report per lot. Also quote it in 316 stainless. FOB price and lead time?”

Fitting, CW614N brass bar, 62 g$0.48
CNC turning and threading, 2 operations$0.21
Nickel plating$0.07
Inspection, dimensional report and export packing$0.04
Total$0.80 per piece FOB

10,000 pieces · MOQ in brass is 2,000 · ready in 35 days

The booth marked the plated, reported batch price on request and sent it to the sales head with the buyer’s email. You priced it from your own costing, and the quote shows total CBM and container fill.

Questions from machined parts and equipment makers

Can Poly9 price a part from a buyer’s new drawing?
It does not guess. A new drawing, or any material or tolerance you have not priced, shows as price on request and goes to your inbox with the specification. You quote it yourself, and if it becomes a standard part, you add it to the range.
Our bar and casting prices change every month. Do we update every part?
Nothing reprices on its own. When you change a material rate, Poly9 shows which parts and open quotes use that bar or casting, so you can update those prices in one pass instead of hunting through the range.
Can OEM buyers and distributors see different prices?
Your booth shows one set of prices. You share collections with prices and MOQs shown or hidden, then send each buyer a quote at the terms you agreed, so an OEM on an annual schedule and a distributor each get their own terms.
Can our whole sales and engineering team use it?
Yes. Your whole team is included. Sales can follow buyer enquiries, and engineering can review the drawings and price-on-request items that land in the shared inbox, so nobody forwards emails to find the right person.
Our options have compatibility rules.
Write them into each product’s description, such as which drives fit which lengths and where stainless is required. The assistant answers from that text, and any configuration you have not priced goes to your inbox as price on request. Your engineers check it before any number reaches the customer.
Does it replace our CPQ?
For builders who quote from a spreadsheet, it covers the sales side. Products show the prices you set, buyers get answers in plain language, and enquiries turn into quotes in one click. There are no per-seat fees. If you keep a CPQ for approvals or ERP order entry, it stays behind Poly9.
What reaches engineering?
Only the exceptions: a length you do not list, a material you have not priced, a customer drawing. Those land in your inbox as price on request with the buyer’s full request and email, so engineering reviews a clear brief instead of starting from a forwarded thread.
What does a Digital Booth cost?
Plans are $99/month Booth · $299/month Factory · Enterprise custom · billed in USD. Booth covers 1,000 products, Factory covers 10,000 and Enterprise is sized to your catalog. Every plan includes your whole team. You preview your Digital Booth before you pay.
