Our work
A metals distributor’s quoting process runs through one or two senior employees who know the numbers. When they’re busy — or gone — estimates back up. A custom quoting tool trained on historical job data lets anyone on the team generate accurate estimates in minutes.
Quoting capacity that doesn’t depend on one person.

A specialty materials distributor carries thousands of SKUs. Keeping product data accurate across their website, pricing sheets, and sales tools meant constant manual updates. An automated sync between their inventory system and website eliminated the lag — and the errors.
Product catalog always current. Zero manual updates.

A B2B service company was getting dozens of inbound inquiries a week but response time stretched to hours — sometimes a full day. A triage system that reads each inquiry, drafts a reply in the company’s voice, and queues it for a 10-second review changed the math.
Response time cut from hours to under 10 minutes.
