Quoting system for laboratory-supply distributors

A quoting system for laboratory-supply and reagent distributors cuts quote preparation from hours to minutes — the customer mentions hydrochloric acid CZDA, HPLC-grade methanol and Eppendorf pipette tips, and you get a ready draft with catalog number, purity grade and a supplier RFQ in one step.

The daily grind we automate

1

Catalog numbers, purities and volumes must match down to the grade.

2

Special-order items require an inquiry to the supplier.

3

Lab sets mix reagents, glassware and consumables.

What the system does

Your work, in your industry’s language

🧪

Quote by catalog number and purity

Description with a purity grade → a specific part and volume.

🧪

Query the supplier for special-order items

Priceless items are grouped into RFQs — answers flow into the quote.

🧪

Assemble a set from one request

Reagents, glassware and consumables → a set of quote lines.

What the AI recognizes in your catalog

Purity / reagent grade (p.a. / CZDA / tech. / HPLC grade / LC-MS grade) CAS number and manufacturer catalog index Pack size / weight (µl / ml / l / g / kg) Volume range and number of channels (automatic pipettes) Pore size and membrane material (filters: PTFE / PVDF / nylon) Accuracy class and calibration certificate (A/B, CoA, CRM) Brand / manufacturer (Sigma-Aldrich / Avantor-POCH / Merck / Eppendorf / Radwag)
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 support distributors of reagents and laboratory equipment?
Yes — the system recognises purity grades (p.a., CZDA, HPLC grade), CAS numbers, manufacturer catalog indexes (e.g. Sigma-Aldrich, Avantor-POCH, Chempur) and instrument parameters (centrifuge RPM, balance readability). Items without a list price are automatically grouped into a supplier RFQ.
How quickly can OferIQ prepare a quote for hydrochloric acid p.a., HPLC-grade methanol and Erlenmeyer flasks?
The customer sends a plain-language description or email, and a draft quote with matched catalog lines and group pricing is ready within minutes — no manual catalog lookup required. For special-order items the system immediately bundles a supplier inquiry.
Does the system match pipette tips by brand and compatibility (e.g. Eppendorf, universal, filtered)?
Yes — trigram matching handles abbreviations, spelling variants and inflections, so "Eppendorf tips 200 µl filtered sterile" or "tips for Eppendorf Research Plus" resolve to the same catalog line. Brand compatibility and volume are treated as ranking attributes.
