The problem, in your words

The catalog grew. The shortcut in someone’s head didn’t scale.

Crosses, specs, and price files sprawl across systems — while the customer waits on the quote.

Catalogs and price files sprawl.

Thousands of SKUs across lines, with specs and pricing in different systems, mean the right answer is real but slow to find.

Reps lose 3–5 hrs/day searching instead of selling.

“What’s the cross to this obsolete SKU?”

Every quote with a discontinued or competitor part means digging through cross-reference tables and manufacturer PDFs by hand.

A 20-minute hunt, run on every tricky line.

The counter veteran who knew the crosses is gone.

The product knowledge that made the desk fast lived in one or two people — and it walked out the door with them.

Up to 70% of product know-how is tacit and at retirement risk.

Common questions

Straight answers.

It only sees the documents you control — your catalogs, spec sheets, and price files — never the open web. It cites every cross and quote line to the source, and when a SKU is not in your data it says so instead of guessing.
Yes. You load your catalogs, compatibility tables, and price files, and it answers from those — so a cross or a price is checked against your actual data, not a web index.
Yes. Your documents stay in your own tenant and we do not train models on your data. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001; on-prem deployment is available.
Most teams go from first catalog load to live in under 30 days. A scoped pilot on a few lines can be running in days.
