AVEN · YOUR AI PROJECT MANAGER

Aven coordinates the specialist agents.

Aven brings the right specialists into the work, keeps context and blockers visible, and brings decisions to the people who approve them.

Reads

Requirements, drawings and revisions.

Costs

The process route and its economics.

Quotes

Quote preparation and commercial review.

Coordinates

Specialists, suppliers and customer actions.

Flags risk

Relevant changes, gaps and their impact.

Your team approves. The company learns.

Accepted decisions retain their evidence, scope and version. Each relevant workflow can reuse that context, so the next job starts with what your company already knows.

Integrates with your existing ERP, email, spreadsheets and business tools within the agreed scope.

CURRENT FOCUS · PROCUREMENT

Validate the RFQ, build the cost and prepare the decision.

Use drawings, requirements and factory data to prepare an RFQ, build a cost or compare supplier offers.

01 / RFQ VALIDATION

Know what the job needs.

Check requirements and revisions, flag missing inputs and prepare specific questions for your experts.

For supplier teams
02 / PROCESS AND COST

Understand how to make it.

Review the manufacturing route, machine choices, cost drivers and assumptions before setting a price.

Explore process and cost
03 / QUOTING AND SOURCING

Commit with confidence.

Bring the engineering and commercial reasoning into the same review, whether you are preparing a quote or comparing supplier offers.

For OEM teams

INSIDE THE WORK

See what your team reviews.

Illustrative RFQ and cost examples. Agree the supported scope for your parts with our team.

01 / COST ENGINEER

Review how the cost is built.

A process plan and a cost you can inspect. Understand which machine, rate and manufacturing assumption drives every line.

  • Costed manufacturing route
  • Reference and plant-specific views
  • Visible sources and open assumptions

02 / RFQ ENGINEER

Understand the RFQ. Surface the gaps.

Read the package, identify revisions and missing requirements, and prepare the clarification questions your team needs before committing.

  • Requirements and revisions together
  • Missing inputs made visible
  • Your team approves the next step

Same part. Shared context. One LevelPlane.AI prepares the analysis. Your team approves the commitment.

COMPANY DNA

Your machines, rates and approved manufacturing rules.

Store the plant data and corrections your team has confirmed, with the source and scope of each entry.

Start with a reference factory. Add the differences that make your plant real. Keep approved corrections so the next matching decision starts with what your team already knows.

One versioned basis for the next decision

Rates stay dated. Changes stay scoped. Your team approves.

FROM REQUIREMENT TO DECISION

Keep requirements and assumptions attached to the decision.

01

Understand

Read the engineering requirements. Confirm the part, material, volume and operating context.

02

Build the basis

Establish the route, machines, rates and open assumptions. Calculate operations, not a guessed total.

03

Put it to work

Use the accepted basis in selected RFQ, supplier-comparison and negotiation tasks.

04

Keep the learning

Approve useful corrections with a defined scope. Apply them to the next matching case.

PLANNED EXPANSION

Coordinate the response. Flag the risks.

The planned expansion connects customer requests, supplier commitments, materials, capacity and quality evidence. Keep actions and open risks tied to the same manufacturing context.

LevelPlane coordinates

Keep owners, supplier follow-ups and customer responses connected when requirements or delivery dates change.

LevelPlane flags risks

Bring material gaps, capacity conflicts and quality exceptions into the review before your team approves a commitment.

Explore planned quality and supply workflows
Planned expansion03 / QUALITY ENGINEER

Review inspection requirements and missing evidence.

Compare supplier evidence with drawing requirements. Show which checks or supplier records are still missing.

  • Inspection requirements from the part
  • Evidence and open issues together
  • Quality review stays with your team

Compare machine capability, capacity and supplier options.

Keep machine capability, capacity questions and supplier alternatives attached to the part. Make the next decision with the manufacturing context intact.

  • Plant capability and process constraints
  • Capacity and lead-time questions
  • Alternatives to investigate, not assume
