RFQ Automation for Faster Quotation Workflows

Sparkify Social builds AI-powered RFQ automation systems that help businesses process incoming quotation requests, extract requirements, organize pricing inputs and prepare quotes for human review faster.

Built for businesses handling quotation requests through email, PDFs, spreadsheets, drawings, BOMs and other business documents.

Manual RFQ Processing Slows Down Quotation Teams

Many quotation workflows still require teams to manually open emails, read attachments, identify specifications, copy information into internal systems, check pricing, calculate margins and prepare quotations. The result is slower response time, repetitive work and inconsistent processing.

Manual Data Entry · Slow Requirement Extraction · Pricing Bottlenecks · Missing Information · Approval Delays · Disconnected Systems

What an RFQ Automation System Can Do

Incoming RFQ → Email / PDF / Excel / Drawing / BOM → Requirement Extraction → Data Validation → Missing Information Detection → Product or Specification Matching → Pricing Inputs → Cost and Margin Logic → Human Review and Approval → Quotation Preparation → CRM / ERP Update → Follow-Up

The exact workflow depends on the company’s pricing rules, data sources, approval process and existing systems.

Automatically Structure Incoming RFQ Data

AI can help convert unstructured quotation requests into structured information that can be reviewed, validated and passed into downstream systems.

Customer information · Product or part requirements · Quantity · Dimensions · Technical specifications · Materials · Delivery requirements · Requested dates · Commercial requirements · Attached documents · Missing fields · Special notes

For technical, commercial or high-risk requirements, extracted information can be reviewed by a human before it moves forward.

Connect RFQs With Your Pricing Workflow

After requirements are structured, the system can support the next stages of quotation preparation using approved company data and rules.

Historical Quote Lookup · Supplier Pricing · Inventory Checks · Cost Calculation · Margin Rules · Quotation Preparation

Automation Without Losing Pricing Control

AI Prepares — Extracts requirements, structures data, checks available information and prepares the quotation workflow.
