The problem and the goal
The shop foreman rebuilds quotes in Excel because he can't find the price of parts already machined, and the customer waits 3 days for an answer that was due the next day; the goal is to find the price of an already machined part and issue the quote in under 24 hours, tracking the average response time to a quote request.
The team pulls the price of a part you already machined from past quote files in Google Sheets, with customer, date and details, and uses it to draft the quote in Gmail. Your shop foreman stops rebuilding numbers in Excel and the customer gets an answer on time. Every morning the team lists quote requests unanswered for more than 24 hours in Gmail so none slip through.

Machined part quotes in 24 hours, without rebuilding prices in Excel
How do we stop rebuilding quotes in Excel every time a request comes in?
The team looks up the part price in the past quotes already stored in Google Sheets and builds the new quote from it, so nobody retypes everything.
Can we answer the customer the next day?
The team is built to find the price and prepare the quote in Gmail in under 24 hours. The actual turnaround depends on request volume and how your files are organized.
How do we know which quote requests went unanswered?
Each morning the team checks Gmail and lists requests with no reply for more than 24 hours, with customer name and part, so your team can follow up.
