Turn MTR review into faster proposals.

Eliminate MTR review bottlenecks and close deals faster by automatically checking chemistry, dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical properties against specifications. Any mill. Any format. The reviewer always makes the final call.

MTR review is a hidden bottleneck

Mixed formats·Manual checks

The work that controls how fast your team responds to a quote.

Mills send reports in unique layouts. Engineers reorient each one. Line-by-line parameter checks add risk and slow proposals. The result: longer sales cycles and frustrated customers.

01 · Different MTR formats

Mills send reports in unique layouts requiring manual reorientation — every time.

02 · Manual parameter checks

Line-by-line review of chemistry, dimensions, and tolerances increases oversight risk.

03 · Review delays slow sales

MTR clearance delays postpone proposals and extend sales cycles.

From MTR to decision in minutes

Upload·Extract·Compare·Decide

Four steps. Reviewer in control.

Submit MTRs, deviations, and specs. The system extracts and compares. Output: pass, fail, or flagged for quick review and action.

Step 01

Upload

Submit MTRs, deviations, and specs in PDF, scan, or digital format. No reformatting required.

Step 02

Extract

System identifies key parameters — chemistry, mechanical properties, dimensions, tolerances — across mill formats.

Step 03

Compare

Parameters automatically checked against internal specs and acceptance rules. ASTM, ASME, API 5L / 5CT / 5B included.

Step 04

Decide

Output: pass, fail, or flagged for quick review and action. The reviewer always makes the final call.

In production

Running at a North American tube supplier.

An oil and gas tubes distributor processing hundreds of MTRs a week runs CrossCheck inside its own environment. Review that used to take hours clears in minutes, proposals stop waiting on clearance, and the reviewer still makes every call.

What it means for sales

MTR clearance is a sales problem wearing a QA badge.

Every quote that depends on cleared material waits on review. When clearance keeps pace with the quote desk, proposals go out the same day, time-sensitive RFQs stop slipping, and quality stops being the bottleneck nobody wants to name. Same reviewers, same rigor, less waiting.

Security & deployment

Your MTRs never leave your environment.

On-prem by default. Open-weight models on Apolo’s private GPUs, no third-party AI provider. A forward-deployed engineer encodes your spec library and acceptance rules during onboarding, and the agent is in production in weeks, not quarters.

FAQ

What operators ask first
Q1

Does it work with different mill formats?

Yes. Designed for mixed formats and layouts. If a specific mill format isn't supported yet, we add it for you.

Q2

What if the system makes mistakes?

Items can be flagged or corrected for reviewer approval. The reviewer always makes the final call.

Q3

What's needed to start?

A small set of typical MTRs and your comparison specifications. We handle the rest during onboarding.

Q4

Is this meant to replace employees?

No. It reduces manual effort and speeds decisions, while keeping control with your team. The reviewer always makes the final call.
