The rep who knows the crosses,
on every desk.

Manufacturer reps and agencies win on product knowledge — and lose hours finding it. Cross-reference a discontinued part, find the right spec, and quote from your own line-card catalogs, every answer cited to the source. When the rep who knows it all is the one closest to retirement.

The problem, in your words

The product knowledge is real. It just doesn’t scale.

It lives in line cards, catalogs, and the head of the one rep everyone calls.

The rep who knows the crosses is retiring.

Decades of “what replaces this” and “what pairs with that” never made it into a system. When they leave, it leaves.

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

“What’s the cross to a discontinued part?”

Every quote with an obsolete or competitor SKU means digging through cross-reference tables and manufacturer PDFs by hand.

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

The answer is in three PDFs no one finds fast.

Spec sheets, compatibility tables, and line cards scattered across drives — while the customer waits on the quote.

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

Common questions

Straight answers.

It only sees the documents you control — your line cards, catalogs, spec sheets, and price files — never the open web. It cites every cross and quote line to the source, and when a part is not in your data it says so instead of guessing.
Yes. You load your line cards, catalogs, compatibility tables, and price files, and it answers from those — so a cross or a spec is checked against your actual lines, 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 slice of your lines can be running in days.
