Tighten the path from RFQ to collected cash.

Quoting, sourcing, purchasing, fulfillment and collections — the operating chain where margin quietly leaks in industrial businesses.

The industrial distribution workflow

  • RFQ
  • Sourcing
  • Quote
  • Order
  • Purchasing
  • Fulfillment
  • Invoice
  • Collection

We map your version of this, then find where it stalls.

Common challenges

  • RFQs are quoted late and lost on responsiveness alone
  • Quoting depends on one person who knows the pricing
  • Supplier lead times are discovered after the order is taken
  • Order status requires calling the warehouse
  • Invoices go out after fulfillment, sometimes long after
  • Aged receivables are chased in batches when cash gets tight

The operating problems underneath these →

What we typically build first

RFQ intake and turnaround

Every request enters one queue with a quoting clock.

Quoting support

Pricing logic captured so quoting is not one person's memory.

Order and fulfillment visibility

Status visible to sales and to the customer without a phone call.

Invoicing and collections

Invoices follow fulfillment automatically; aging escalates on schedule.

An operation where margin is set by pricing, not by delay.

Start with an Operating Audit: two to three weeks, a written map of the business, and the bottlenecks ranked by what they cost you.
