How AI Turns a Customer Enquiry into a Vendor-Ready BOQ in Seconds

AIProcurementRFQ

Procurement teams lose hours translating free-form customer enquiries into a structured bill of quantities (BOQ) before they can even ask vendors for pricing. OmniFlow automates that first, most tedious step.

When an enquiry lands — from the web, email, or your sales team — our AI layer reads the description and produces a line-itemised BOQ: descriptions, quantities, units, and whether each line is a good or a service.

From there, OmniFlow raises an RFQ, emails it to every vendor you choose, and watches your inbox for replies. When a vendor responds with pricing — even in plain language — AI extracts per-line unit prices automatically.

Once enough vendors have quoted, OmniFlow compares them line by line, computes an average cost, and proposes a customer-facing quote with a transparent margin (12% on services, 10% on goods) — fully editable before you send it.

The result: what used to take a full day of back-and-forth email threads now takes minutes, with a clean audit trail from enquiry to vendor comparison to customer quote.
