MRO & Industrial Parts

Client sends an RFQ with 80 positions. Your manager spends half a day on it. Competitor quotes in 2 hours

MRO distributors lose deals not on price — on quote turnaround. 67% of industrial buyers expect a quote within 24 hours. Your manager is cross-referencing part numbers, checking stock, and applying customer-specific pricing manually. The distributor who answers first gets the PO.

Stop losing purchase orders to the distributor who quotes faster.

RFQ to validated quote with configurator

your numbers in about 2 minutes, no email required

Your manager quoted the wrong price. Client got a better number from a competitor. That account is gone

Two ways to lose the same RFQ: quote too slow, or quote wrong price and wrong equivalent

Sound familiar?

Procurement manager sends an RFQ: 80 positions, mix of OEM part numbers, some with "equivalent acceptable." Your manager opens the spreadsheet. Cross-references each position manually. Checks stock. Applies the right customer-specific pricing — or tries to, from a pricing table that was last updated three months ago.

Four hours later, the quote goes out. Competitor sent theirs two hours ago. Client already replied to them.

And when the pressure is on and the quote is rushed — wrong equivalent. Wrong price tier. Customer-specific discount missed. Client notices. "Last time you quoted us list price." That account quietly starts splitting orders elsewhere.

Your managers aren't slow or careless. They're doing work that shouldn't require a human for every line item. The problem is the process — not the people.

The bottleneck in numbers

Most MRO RFQs stall or go to a faster competitor. Out of 200 monthly RFQs received:

200MONTHLY RFQs RECEIVED
140MANAGER STARTED PROCESSING
60 DEPRIORITIZED — TOO COMPLEX OR LOW MARGIN (30%)
68QUOTES SENT IN TIME
72 SENT LATE — COMPETITOR ALREADY REPLIED (51%)
38ORDERS WON
30 LOST ON PRICE ERROR OR WRONG EQUIVALENT

MOST LOST — TOO SLOW OR WRONG PRICE / WRONG EQUIVALENT

What happens when RFQ processing stops being a manual job for every line item

Same RFQ. Same catalog. Now you quote first — and correctly:

RFQ processed in hours, not a day

Client submits part numbers. Configurator cross-references, checks stock, applies customer-specific pricing. Manager reviews and approves — doesn't build from scratch.

Right equivalent, right price, first time

Equivalents validated against specs. Customer-specific pricing applied automatically. No wrong tier, no missed discount, no manual pricing error.

Margin stays intact

Pricing rules enforced consistently across every quote. No ad-hoc discounts, no missed rebates. The 2–11% margin leak from pricing inconsistency stops.

Managers on accounts, not spreadsheets

Routine RFQs process themselves. Your team focuses on large accounts, negotiations, and exceptions — not on looking up part numbers one by one.

FAQ

Yes. Client submits the RFQ (part numbers, quantities, "equivalent acceptable" flags). Configurator processes each position: cross-references, checks stock, applies customer-specific pricing. Manager gets a structured output to review and approve — not a blank spreadsheet to fill in. Processing time depends on catalog size and integration, but typically hours vs. a full day manually.
You define pricing rules in your catalog: customer tiers, volume discounts, contract pricing, rebate structures. The configurator applies the correct rules for each customer automatically. No manual lookup, no missed discount, no wrong tier. Pricing consistency across every quote.
You define equivalence rules: which specs must match exactly (bore, OD, load rating, material class) and which tolerances are acceptable. The configurator matches on those rules — not on part number similarity. If specs don't match within your defined tolerance, it won't recommend the part as an equivalent.
That's the core use case. Client sends an OEM or competitor part number. Configurator cross-references to your catalog, validates specs, returns your equivalent with stock status and price. If no equivalent exists, it flags the position for manual review rather than guessing.
No. It sits in front of your existing system. Configurator handles the qualification and cross-reference layer; structured output (part numbers, quantities, pricing) is pushed to your ERP or quoting tool via API. Your downstream process stays the same.
Routine positions — standard cross-references, known equivalents, catalog items — process automatically. Positions that require engineering judgment (unusual specs, no clear equivalent, high-value custom items) are flagged for your technical team. They handle exceptions; the configurator handles volume.
Via API. Stock levels, part data, and pricing are read from your ERP or catalog system in real time. Output (part numbers, quantities, quote) can be pushed back to your OMS. Integration options and technical specs are covered on the demo call.
