RFQ automation case study

Faster quotes without adding more manual work.

A high-volume quoting workflow was slowing response time, creating repeated data entry, and making it harder for the team to keep speed and accuracy in balance.

Scenario

RFQs were coming in faster than the workflow could comfortably support.

The team had a meaningful revenue workflow, but too much of the process still depended on repeated review, manual routing, and data entry. That made it harder to respond quickly without adding more people or pressure.

Opportunity

Use automation to remove the repeated work without losing control of the quote.

The value was not just faster quote creation. The bigger opportunity was to make the RFQ process easier to route, measure, and improve so the team could respond with more confidence as volume increased.

What we did

Teric focused on the workflow before choosing the automation.

01

Mapped intake and handoffs

We looked at where RFQs entered the process, where information was reviewed, and where quote activity slowed down.

02

Separated repeatable work from judgment calls

The goal was not to automate everything. It was to identify which steps could move faster while keeping the team in control.

03

Built visibility into the movement of work

The solution needed to improve response speed and make the quoting workflow easier to understand, manage, and improve over time.

Solution

An AI-assisted RFQ workflow built around the way the business actually works.

Teric helped create an automation path that supported RFQ intake, data handling, routing, and quote-processing visibility. The work reduced manual burden while keeping the process understandable for the people responsible for the outcome.

Results

The business gained speed, savings, and a cleaner foundation for future improvement.

What this means for similar companies

Manual quoting pressure is often a workflow problem before it is a software problem.

If quote volume, rework, or disconnected handoffs are slowing response time, the right first step is to identify where automation can create value without making the process harder to manage.
