The problem, in your words

The RFQ is the bottleneck, not the relationship.

Every line that needs a cross, a spec check, or a replacement is a manual hunt — and the quote waits.

An RFQ becomes a manual scavenger hunt.

Product discovery, spec matching, and pricing are spread across catalogs and price files, so a quote takes hours it should not.

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

“What replaces this discontinued part?”

Every obsolete or competitor SKU on the RFQ means digging through cross-reference tables and manufacturer PDFs by hand.

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

A wrong spec or price costs the order — or the margin.

Match the wrong spec or miss a tier break and you lose the deal or eat the difference. Accuracy has to come at quoting speed.

The fix: every line checked against the actual spec sheet — and cited.

Common questions

Straight answers.

It only sees the documents you control — your catalogs, spec sheets, and price files — never the open web. Every line on the quote is cited to its source, and when a part is not in your data it says so instead of guessing.
Yes. You load your catalogs, compatibility tables, and price files, and the quote is built from those — so the cross, the spec, and the price are checked against your actual data.
Pricing is simple and transparent — $100 per seat per month, with usage pooled across your team. See the full breakdown on the pricing page or scope it on a short walkthrough.
Most teams go from first catalog load to live quoting in under 30 days. A scoped pilot on a slice of your lines and a few real RFQs can be running in days.
