RFQ → Quote automation · for parts distributors and wholesalers

The RFQ lands. The priced draft
is ready before you open it.

Customer quotation requests (text-layer PDFs) become Excel quotation drafts automatically: line items extracted, matched against your approved catalogue and price list, priced only from approved data - and every uncertain match flagged for a human instead of guessed.

How it works

Delivered as an importable, documented n8n workflow running in your accounts. You own all of it.

1

Intake. A watch-folder or mailbox picks up the customer's RFQ PDF the moment it arrives.

2

Extraction. Product codes, descriptions, quantities and units parsed from the text layer - tuned on your real sample RFQs.

3

Matching. Exact product-code pass first, then description similarity against your catalogue. Every match carries a confidence score.

4

The honesty rule. Anything below threshold becomes a flagged row for human review - never a silent substitution, never an invented price. A line with no approved price is reported missing, not estimated.

5

Output. An Excel quotation draft in your template, flagged rows highlighted. English or dual English/Arabic headers; any currency, with line totals rounded half-up on cents.

Try the pipeline right now.
The live demo runs the real matching logic in your browser: paste an RFQ, watch it extract, match, price only from the approved list, and flag the one item it refuses to guess.

Built for the quoting desk

Electrical & industrial distributors

Codes, cross-references, unit mismatches, catalogue drift - the matching layer is built for exactly this mess.

Building materials & MEP suppliers

Long RFQs, mixed units, site-delivery lines. Extraction tuned on your real formats, not a generic parser.

Anyone quoting from a price list

If your team retypes PDF lines into Excel against an approved list, this removes that job without removing the human judgment.

Questions quoting teams ask

What if the RFQ format varies by customer?

The first build targets one agreed format (your highest-volume one). Additional formats are scoped add-ons - quoted honestly rather than promised vaguely.

Does it ever invent a price?

No. Prices come only from your approved list. Uncertain matches and missing prices are flagged for a person. That rule is structural, not a setting.

Arabic / AED support?

Yes - the draft export supports dual English/Arabic headers and any currency, with half-up rounding on cents. You can verify both in the live demo today.

What do you need from us to start?

Sample RFQs (the real PDFs), your catalogue and price list as Excel/CSV, and your quotation template. Delivery is 10 days from receiving those.
