Common Questions

What suppliers ask us before getting started.

What kind of RFQs can the engine process?

Any Excel file with piping product descriptions. One column or twenty, English or Arabic, "PIPE 6IN SCH40 A106 GR.B" or "Tubo S/S DN150 7.11mm P235GH". The engine reads column headers automatically, detects the language, and parses each line. No rigid templates, no reformatting needed.

How does matching work?

Every line item in the RFQ is normalized to a unique product code using rule-based logic (not AI). The same code is generated for your inventory items. If the codes match, the product matches. For stockists, the engine checks what you have in stock. For mills, it checks your production range. Pricing follows your rules: fixed price lists, per-kg matrices by material and size, or custom formulas per customer. Over 3 million unique piping codes are currently mapped.

What if an item doesn't match?

It gets flagged for manual review. The engine tells you exactly why: item not in your catalog, ambiguous description, conflicting specs, or product outside your range. You see matched and unmatched items side by side. No silent failures, no invented codes, no guessing.

Does it connect to my ERP?

Yes. Inventory, pricing data, and production range sync via API. Quoted offers can be exported back to your ERP as sales orders. We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and any system that exposes an API. Data flows both ways, no manual re-keying.

Is my data safe?

Every supplier runs on a dedicated, isolated instance with its own database. Your catalog, prices, customer data, and quotations are never shared or mixed with other suppliers. Nobody can see your data. You own it and can export everything at any time. The platform runs on your brand, your domain, with no reference to us visible to your buyers.

How fast is the setup?

2 to 4 weeks depending on catalog size and ERP integration complexity. We import your inventory, configure your pricing rules, connect to your ERP, and set up your branding. You provide the data, we handle everything else. Your team gets trained before go-live.

How much does it cost?

Monthly subscription based on catalog size and number of users. No per-transaction fees, no revenue share. Setup and onboarding are included. Book a demo and we'll give you a clear number based on your specific situation.
