Quoting system for electrical wholesalers

Electrical wholesalers and automation distributors handle requests packed with part numbers, cross-sections and parameters — OferIQ cuts that time from an hour to minutes: the AI breaks down the customer's description into specific catalog items, applies the group discount, and hands a ready draft to the salesperson.

A request like “YKY 5×16 cable, 200 m and a 12-module distribution board” is broken by the AI into real part numbers — hitting the brand and type, not a generic. Discounts per manufacturer and customer group are computed deterministically in code.

Switchgear items without a list price are grouped per manufacturer and sent as a price inquiry in one click — with a full answer history attached to the quote.

Sound familiar?

The daily grind we automate

1

Customers describe cross-section and type in words — you copy it by hand into a dozen lines from 3 price lists.

2

Project switchgear “on request” — half a day of emails to suppliers before you can price the quote.

3

Discount per manufacturer and customer group done in your head — easy to get wrong.

From request to quote — itself

Four steps that happen on their own.

No human in any of them — until the very end, when a rep reviews and sends. The engine does the reading, matching and pricing while you sleep.

01

The customer writes naturally

An email, a chat message, a messy bullet list. No forms, no SKUs, no portal to learn. They write how they always have.

02

AI matches the items

Every position is read and mapped to the exact catalog item — by spec, by synonym, by the “usual” they always order.

03

Prices & margins fill in

Customer-group pricing, discounts and margins applied automatically. “On request” items trigger a supplier inquiry.

04

A quote ready to send

A clean, branded quote lands in the rep’s queue — review, adjust if needed, send. Minutes after the request arrived.

FAQ
Does OferIQ work for electrical wholesalers and automation distributors?
Yes — the electrical industry is one of the primary use cases. The system handles multi-manufacturer catalogs (Schneider, ABB, Siemens, Legrand, Nexans) and distinguishes modular switchgear, cables, drives and PLCs within a single request.
How fast does it build a quote for a full panel board?
A descriptive request — e.g. 63A 4P main breaker, three 40A/30mA type-A RCDs, twelve B16 MCBs — is processed in seconds: the AI picks the preferred manufacturer's part numbers, applies the group discount and sends the draft to the salesperson for approval.
Does it recognize inverter and PLC parameters from a customer description?
Yes. The AI extracts motor power [kW], supply voltage, communication protocol (Modbus RTU, Profinet) and IP class from natural-language text, then matches a specific catalog type — even when the customer writes shorthand like '15kW 400V Modbus drive'.
