Request to proposal
Time from a service or parts inquiry to a checked customer offer.
Quote the right part or retrofit without asking the customer what you built.
A customer gives you a serial number and needs an answer today. Bourne finds the as-built configuration, service history, superseded parts and current commercial data, then prepares the correct parts, service, retrofit or replacement offer.

The customer wants a part number. Your team needs the asset history.
A request for a spare, service visit or retrofit may refer to a nickname, an old drawing or “the same as last time.” The right offer depends on the shipped configuration, later modifications, duty, service history and current parts rules.
Bourne finds the asset, checks compatibility and builds the offer with the right scope, price and evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bourne recommend spare parts for a serial number?
Yes, when the product structure, supersession records and service history provide enough evidence. Ambiguous or safety-critical matches route to the responsible expert.
Can it create service renewal and retrofit campaigns?
Yes. Bourne can find eligible assets, prepare account-specific offers and coordinate outreach while keeping each recommendation tied to service and configuration data.
What does Bourne need before it can run parts, service and retrofit proposals?
We start with a live parts, service and retrofit proposals case, the source files your team used, the systems they checked and the final result. That gives us the real work, including the exceptions that a process diagram misses.
What happens when information is missing or contradictory?
Bourne does not fill the gap with a guess. It shows the missing or conflicting source, asks the right owner for a decision and keeps that answer with the case so the same question does not have to be solved again.
Can our team see why Bourne made a recommendation?
Yes. Each recommendation links back to the files, records, rules and prior decisions that support it. Your team can inspect the evidence before approving the next step.
Do we have to change the whole process at once?
No. We start with one workflow, one team and real customer work. Once it performs reliably, we connect the next step in the customer lifecycle.
