RFQ handling in small to medium manufacturing businesses?

Hi sorry if such posts aren’t allowed here.

I have read that many small-med manufacturing shops like CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication and injection molding still manage RFQs manually (using Excel, email, phone calls, or even paper notes).

Is it only a small number of shops that still do this, and maybe not as common as people make it sound online?

Does it take much time, or do most shops just stick with it because it’s simple? I’m mainly trying to understand if it’s repetitive enough that a simple tool could help.

Over the past few months, I worked on a small side project. I built a simple no-code workflow that helps small mfg shops manage RFQs easily.

I can’t share the project here because of most subreddit rules.
