    ~10–20 employees

  • Industry

  • Scale

    Dozens of active quotations and multi-component projects

The company designs, supplies, and installs LED screens and video walls. Each project includes multiple components, configurations, and site-specific requirements, along with procurement and technical delivery.

Quotations, projects, and procurement depend on accurate information, procurement tracking, project delivery.

As volume increased and expansion began, manual coordination across files created delays and errors.

Result: One system where quotes, projects, and procurement stay connected, removing re-entry and keeping execution aligned.

Operational Objective

Create a system where a confirmed quote becomes the starting point for execution without rebuilding data.

In practice, that meant:

  • Generate structured quotations with components and pricing
  • Convert quotes into projects without re-entry
  • Keep procurement tied to project materials and scope
  • Ensure all teams work from the same record
  • Generate consistent documents directly from system data
  • Maintain visibility across project status and delivery

What They Tried at First

The team attempted to implement an ERP, though the system proved too rigid for their workflow. Customization was limited, and the structure did not match how their projects, quotations, and procurement actually operated.

After months of trying to adapt their processes to the ERP, the system was not adopted. Even simple changes required long calls with consultants, which slowed iteration and made the system impractical for daily operations. The team returned to manual workflows.

Where the Operation Broke Down?

Each stage of the workflow operated in separate files, which forced the team to copy and rebuild data multiple times.

What broke?

  • Re-entering data from the quote to the project and procurement
  • Version drift across quotation files
  • Procurement disconnected from the original scope
  • Manual document preparation
  • Scattered technical files and configurations

Operational Impact

  • Projects delayed while rebuilding data after quote approval
  • Procurement preparation takes hours per project
  • Errors when configurations are changed
  • Time was lost searching for the correct files and information

The Operating Model After AnyDB

A system where the quote becomes the source of truth and drives the entire workflow.

The quote becomes the source of truth

Each quotation holds components, configurations, pricing, and documents. Once approved, it becomes the reference for all downstream work, so nothing needs to be rebuilt.

No re-entry across workflow

When a quote is confirmed, a project is created automatically with all details attached. Teams work from the same record, eliminating duplication and misalignment.

Procurement stays tied to the project

Materials and supplier orders connect directly to project scope, so purchasing always reflects what was sold and updates instantly when configurations change.

Documents generate automatically

Quotation documents are created from templates using system data, removing manual formatting and keeping outputs consistent.

Vendors tracked with a clear history

Vendor information is stored allowing the team to store supplier information, compare pricing, and use past data to secure better deals in future purchases.

What Changed in Daily Work?

  • Quotes are entered once and used across the entire workflow
  • Projects start immediately after quote approval without rebuilding data
  • Procurement uses project data directly instead of separate trackers
  • Teams work from one record instead of multiple files
  • Configuration changes are updated everywhere instantly

Operational Outcomes

Quote-to-project transition reduced from hours to minutes

Procurement preparation reduced from 3–4 hours to ~15 minutes per project

Manual data re-entry reduced by ~70%

Quote generation time reduced from ~30 minutes to under 5 minutes

No duplicate data entry between quote, project, and procurement

All teams operate from the same record, removing version conflicts

Result: Projects move from quote to execution without rework, with all teams aligned on the same data.

Why This Works and Scales?

This model works because the quote becomes the source of truth for the entire workflow. Downstream work does not require rebuilding or syncing data.

  • Changes to configurations are updated across the project and procurement instantly
  • All teams work from the same record, removing version conflicts
  • Procurement always reflects the actual project scope
  • The same structure supports new projects without added complexity
