Argoneye · early access

Watch every RFQ. Quote every job. Keep the torch lit.

An always-on AI agent for independent welding and metal-fabrication shops — from a one-welder floor to a sub-ten-person team. Argoneye watches the inbox, parses inbound RFQs into clean spec sheets, and drafts quotes from your own rate cards so most first-time RFQs go from intake to a priced quote draft the same business day.

Workflow

From a forwarded email to a job on the bay, in four moves.

Argoneye doesn’t ask the estimator to learn a new tool. It runs the loops they already run, just faster and around the clock.

  1. 01

    Quote every RFQ you get

    Argoneye picks up each RFQ the buyer submits through the public intake and every job you wire in yourself — no one has to babysit a shared sales inbox for the ones that do come through.

  2. 02

    Parse into a spec sheet

    Material grade, thickness, dimensions, weld process, position, and the AWS/ASME cert trail come out as a clean spec sheet an estimator can read in a glance — not a wall of forwarded email.

  3. 03

    Quote from your own rate cards

    Material cost, labor hours, and consumables are pulled from the shop’s own rate cards, so the number you send is one you can stand behind on Monday morning.

  4. 04

    Lock the build onto the calendar

    Once a buyer accepts via their trackable link, the build slot is locked on the shop-floor calendar so the next job doesn’t collide with the one in the bay.

What changes

Onboarding is an afternoon. Quotes go out the same day.

Hours, not weeks

Onboarding in an afternoon

The model already knows GMAW, SMAW, FCAW, preheat, weld position, and cert vocabulary — load your rate cards and you’re shipping quotes, not training a procurement agent what “3/16 A36” means.

Same-day quotes

Out the door before the buyer’s done lunch

SaaS by quote volume, not a six-figure CPQ license — the same RFQ that used to eat two hours of estimating moves out in the time it takes to skim the thread.

Why Argoneye

Built for the way small fab shops actually run.

Three direct benefits that matter to a small independent fab shop — your size, your onboarding speed, and one place to run the whole RFQ-to-calendar loop.

Your size

Built for shops like yours

Anchored to a one-welder floor up to a sub-ten-person team. Argoneye is sized for the way small fab shops actually run — estimator and foreman often in the same body, rate cards in one head, the buyer one phone call away.

Onboarding

Ready to run in an afternoon

Drop in your rate cards and you’re shipping quotes that afternoon. The model already speaks GMAW, SMAW, FCAW, weld position, AWS and ASME cert packs, and the rest of the language your estimators already use.

One agent

RFQ, quote, and calendar — all in one place

Pick up every RFQ you load in, parse the spec sheet, draft a quote from your own rate cards, and lock the bay when the buyer accepts. RFQ, quote, and calendar booking live alongside each other in the same agent.

Onboarding takes an afternoon, and the first quoted RFQ goes out the same day.

What Argoneye pulls out

The fields a working estimator actually wants from an RFQ email.

No retrofitted procurement taxonomy. The spec sheet reads the way a shop foreman reads a job traveler — material grade, thickness, dimensions, weld process, position, and the certification trail — with the source email pinned to every line.

Pricing model

SaaS by quote volume. No six-figure license.

A solo one-welder floor and a sub-ten-person team run on the same plan — cost scales with RFQ flow, not with the size of the box the agent runs on. Final numbers come out in the early-access conversation.
