Quoting for distributors
Quote every RFQ
before your competitor opens the email.
ChannelFlex reads inbound RFQs, matches every line item to your catalog across all your vendor lines, and hands your reps a structured quote to review and send. Minutes, not hours.
The bottleneck
An RFQ lands. The clock starts.
Your rep opens the email, the ERP, and three vendor portals, looking up items one at a time. That takes thirty minutes to half a day. Meanwhile, the customer sent the same RFQ to two other distributors.
The first accurate quote wins
In B2B distribution, speed is the single biggest factor in win rates. By the time your rep finishes 40 line items across vendor catalogs, the customer already has a quote from someone else.
A wrong part number costs the account
It tells the customer you did not read their request carefully. At best they ask for a correction. At worst they go to the distributor who got it right the first time.
Catalog knowledge walks out the door
It takes years to build. When senior reps are out, complex quotes wait. When they retire, the knowledge leaves with them.
Why ChannelFlex
This is not a chatbot bolted onto a legacy quoting tool.
Built for messy intake
Inconsistent part numbers, negotiated pricing, multi-source inventory. The model is built around the specific messiness of distributor workflows.
Every line gets a confidence score
High-confidence lines move fast. Low-confidence lines are flagged for your rep. Nothing is a black box.
Works alongside your ERP
No rip-and-replace. ChannelFlex sits between the inbox and the ERP your team already runs.
Live in weeks, not months
AI-native means real RFQs processed within two to four weeks of starting, not a six-month per-customer template build.
Questions
Still have questions?
Forward the RFQ email to your ChannelFlex inbox. The AI reads any format, extracts every item and spec, and matches each line against your catalog and all your supplier lines. Your rep gets a structured quote to review and send.
Customer references, competitor SKUs, and discontinued numbers are resolved to your catalog automatically, with ranked alternates surfaced whenever a line is ambiguous.
Yes, and the difference matters. An RFQ is a request for pricing. ChannelFlex reads it, matches every line to your catalog, and builds a structured quote for your rep to review and send. A purchase order is a confirmed buy. ChannelFlex reads it, maps every line to your catalog, and drafts an ERP-ready sales order for approval. Both run through the same inbox, the same matching engine, and the same approval step.
No. ChannelFlex works alongside the tools you already run: NetSuite, SAP, Epicor, Infor, Sage, Salesforce and more.
