About This Automation

Quote and RFQ management involves receiving customer requests, extracting details, calculating pricing, and generating proposals manually across email and spreadsheets. Manual handling causes delays, data entry errors, and inconsistent follow-up that frustrate customers and tie up sales staff.

Automation captures incoming requests, extracts customer and product data, looks up pricing and inventory, calculates totals with margin checks, and generates branded proposals ready for approval or delivery. Sales staff focus on closing deals instead of administrative work.

Extract customer and product details automatically and validate against your records
Look up pricing, inventory, and discounts from your ERP system in real time
Calculate totals, margins, and apply company policy checks automatically
Generate branded proposal documents with customer details and specifications

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. RFQ Receivedtrigger

Quote request arrives via email, web form, or customer portal and is captured by the automation platform.

2. Extract RFQ Data

The automation parses the incoming request, identifies customer name, product codes, quantities, and special requirements, and validates against known customer records.

3. Look Up Pricing

The automation queries the pricing and inventory database to retrieve unit costs, volume discounts, and stock levels for each product.

4. Calculate Quote

The system calculates line totals, applies discounts, adds shipping and tax, and verifies margins against policy thresholds.

5. Generate Proposal

A proposal document is automatically generated with customer details, product specs, pricing, terms, and company branding, ready for review.

6. Route for Approval

The proposal is sent to the sales manager with a direct link to approve or request changes, with a 4-hour timeout.

7. Send to Customer

Once approved, the proposal is automatically sent to the customer and logged with a follow-up reminder.
