The customer is a busy software development company (NDA) delivering multiple client projects in parallel.

Project managers were spending significant time manually preparing quotes following internal pricing rules. Each quote required careful checks to ensure consistency and correctness.

Management wanted to quickly validate whether quote automation could:

✅ Save time for project managers
✅ Standardize quotes and minimize errors
✅ Account for company-specific pricing logic
✅ Be practical for daily use

The goal was not a perfect system, but a fast working prototype.

Duklas built a lightweight, web-based Quote Generator prototype in just 2 hours.

AI was leveraged to speed up delivery, with a senior developer retaining full ownership of logic, validation, and quality.

The tool generates a structured quote based on user input and predefined internal rules. The prototype allows project managers to:

✅ Select engagement model: Fixed / Time & Material / Hybrid
✅ Configure fixed and variable pricing components
✅ Apply internal business rules automatically
✅ Generate a standardized quote code
✅ Export quotes to PDF or HTML

The prototype was intentionally kept simple, fast, and flexible, avoiding unnecessary integrations or complexity.

Project managers were able to start using the prototype immediately, without training or documentation.

As a result:

✅ Over 5 hours saved per month per project manager
✅ Reduced manual errors in quotes
✅ More consistent and professional-looking quotes

This case demonstrated that internal automation does not need to be complex or resource-intensive. A prototype built using AI tools can quickly improve internal workflows without distracting the core development team.
