For sales reps
Stop relaying vessel changes.
The customer, the rep and the manufacturer all work from one simple 3D vessel in a browser. When the vessel changes, the order form automatically updates.
No sign-up and nothing to install. Sample data only.
The problem
You end up in the middle.
On most vessel orders the customer wants a change, you pass it to the manufacturer, the manufacturer asks a question, and you pass it back.
Meanwhile the order form falls behind, so your customer waits while everyone works out which version is right.
How it works
One vessel that everyone works from.
Someone changes the vessel
The customer or the rep makes the change on the 3D vessel, or in the fields beside it. No email in between.
The manufacturer approves
Nothing becomes official until the manufacturer approves it.
The order form updates automatically
The order form and the change notice are produced from the vessel, so they always match it.
You can see where every order stands without chasing anyone.
One thing to try
Open vessel OP-2 and change a nozzle size. Then open the Vessel Form tab: the new size is already there.
The prototype covers one vessel type so far: a horizontal oil pot.
I'm Taylor Adamek, a mechanical engineer who has spent the past few years drafting in pressure vessel manufacturing.
I'm not selling anything yet. Before I continue building this, I want to find out whether this solves a real problem. What I most want to learn from reps: how much of your week goes to relaying vessel changes between customers and manufacturing?
