Built around the sales work.

An industrial quotation draws on more than one email or spreadsheet. The product focuses on the work between receiving the RFQ and preparing the offer: understanding the specifications, finding supply and making pricing decisions with the relevant evidence in view.

Your tools, with more context.

Outlook and Excel remain working surfaces. Stock records, supplier replies and quotation history provide context; your company’s existing systems continue to own purchasing, dispatch and invoicing.

Start with a real workflow.

A pilot begins by agreeing the work to support, the sources to use and the rules that matter. The benefit is assessed on your RFQs, including time spent checking and correcting.
