Quote every opportunity, not just the ones you have time for.
Cintra turns RFQs, RFPs, BOMs, and drawings into priced, submission-ready bids and quotes, so the same team can answer everything worth winning. Your costs, your rules, your approval.
More opportunities shouldn't mean more manual work.
Every new opportunity creates work before it creates revenue: reading the documents, decoding what the customer actually wants, finding costs, building the estimate, applying pricing, checking requirements, assembling the response, all before the deadline.
As volume grows, estimating and quoting capacity becomes the bottleneck. Good opportunities go unanswered, rushed bids leak margin, and your best estimators spend their days on paperwork instead of judgment.
Cintra automates the work behind every bid and quote, and leaves the decisions to your team.

Cintra's output isn't a black box. Each line item carries the document, catalog page, or ERP record it came from, so review takes minutes instead of a full recheck.

Not a proposal writer.
Most AI tools in this category help write text. Cintra does the operational work behind the document:
The output isn't a first draft. It's a bid or quote your team can review and send.
Fluent in the documents of each trade.
One desk underneath; industry-specific reading, sourcing, and output formats on top. Distribution is where most teams start.

Send us a bid or quote request.
Free, and it takes one email. You see Cintra working on your documents, your pricing, and your formats, not a canned demo. Two good ways to start:
- Send the one on your desk right now. We'll return a priced, submission-ready draft while your deadline is still ahead of you.
- Or send one you already finished, along with its source files. We'll rebuild it so you can compare our output to what you actually sent, line by line.
