From a customer RFQ to your proposal, the customer's award and the supplier PO. Sandy reads, writes and chases. You decide at the amber steps.
Play, then click Next, the diagram, or → for each step.
Between RFQs, Sandy keeps suppliers ready: renews their documents, re-scores them, re-quotes second sources (see Suppliers). Every reply and delivery updates their scores.
Everything Sandy does, in one place: what she is doing now, and what she already did. Decisions stay in Needs you.
Innoviz 06-Oct · chased Penang Metal Craft (2 of 3), WhatsApp, 09:00 Penang time
Innoviz 06-Oct · answered Hengtai: bore Ø12 is H7 per drawing rev C (answer taken from drawing)

What Sandy may do alone, what she drafts for you, and what she never does. One page. Every change is logged.
Pilot mode — first 2 weeks: every action starts in Shadow. Sandy drafts on your real inbox, sends nothing, and we measure how often you agree. You promote an action when the numbers earn it.
Shadow drafts only, sends nothing, measures agreementAsk drafts, you approve in 1 clickAuto acts, logged, 1 in 10 sampled weekly

Tick suppliers to change several at once.

Saved settings for finding and vetting new suppliers. The dispatch form picks the preset that matches the part family; you can change it per RFQ.

Routines
Sandy never does these — whatever the level above
Disclose your target price, budget or other suppliers' pricesLocked
Name the end customer before an NDA is on fileLocked
Answer a technical question the drawing or RFQ does not answer — it goes to you with the exact questionLocked
Commit to an order, quantity, price or payment termsLocked
Contact a supplier on your blacklist or one that failed sanctions screeningLocked
Send award or regret emails without your clickLocked
Why it matters: in the Innoviz thread the target price reached Haifa Precision by phone. Sandy logged it and switched that thread to best-and-final once — she would not have said it.

Hi Yonatan,
For the pilot build we need: 200 × machined housing per drawing INV-HSG-204 rev C (6061-T6, black anodize), 500 × 6-layer PCB INV-PCB-118 (Gerbers + stackup attached), 500 × cable harness INV-CBL-031, and 200 × backlit membrane keypad INV-KEY-07.
Delivery DAP Rosh HaAyin by end of November. FAI report and material certs with the first delivery, please.
Thanks,

New suppliers that pass the drop-if-missing rules and the score threshold get the RFQ together with your known suppliers. Sandy collects their documents after they quote. Presets are edited in Suppliers › Qualification policy.

New-supplier presets— which new suppliers Sandy may look for, and what they must pass before they get an RFQ
Search order— where Sandy looks for suppliers on an RFQ line
Approved pool · suppliers that can make the line. Always first.
Bench · screened suppliers that are not fully qualified. Asked when the pool has fewer than quotes per line, or for price or lead-time discovery, or a second source. Their quotes win only after you approve them.
New search · only when 1 and 2 cannot cover the line. Uses the new-supplier preset above.
