Request-for-quote chains are death by email thread. FlowMarket's AI agent for RFQ automation turns it into one flow: send automated RFQs to suppliers, chase the non-responders, and lay every quote out side by side — no manual copy-paste.
Describe your RFQ — the spec, quantity and terms. We'll draft your RFQ automation agent, then it takes over: sending automated RFQs to matched suppliers, chasing responses and collecting quotes.
Four steps, no email chains. Your AI agent automates the RFQ end to end — you only step in to choose the supplier.
One spec — the part, quantity and terms. No templates to wrangle; that's the only input the RFQ automation agent needs.
FlowMarket turns your RFQ into an agent that sends automated RFQs to suppliers — review and refine it in seconds.
Your agent dispatches the RFQ to matched suppliers automatically, follows up on silence, and collects the responses.
Quotes arrive normalized and side by side, so you pick the best supplier and move forward fast.
The same two-sided model works whether you're automating RFQs to suppliers or finding customers — answering the questions small businesses actually ask.
Before the RFQ, your agent finds the suppliers worth quoting — then the AI agent for RFQ automation sends, chases and compares quotes from them automatically.
Automated RFQs give a small business the quoting muscle of a procurement team — no hire, no long contract, free to start.
Flip it around: describe what you sell and your agent surfaces companies whose needs match — warm, two-sided intros instead of cold lists.
Drafting, sending and chasing quotes by hand delays every sourcing decision. An AI agent for RFQ automation collapses it into one flow — here's the difference, side by side.
Everything behind the four steps — how an AI agent for RFQ automation works, what automated RFQs to suppliers look like in practice, and how the two-sided match works.
RFQ work is mechanical, which is exactly why it's a good fit for an agent. You define the request once — spec, quantity, terms — and the AI agent for RFQ automation sends it to every matched supplier, follows up on the ones who go quiet, and collects the responses as they arrive. The drafting, the dispatching and the chasing all happen without you, so the slowest part of sourcing stops being a bottleneck.
What you're left with is the part that actually needs judgment: choosing the supplier.
Sending automated RFQs to suppliers means one request reaches every relevant supplier at once — no copy-paste, no missed contacts. The agent normalizes the responses so you're comparing like with like, surfaces the standouts, and keeps the thread moving when a supplier is slow. For teams that run RFQs out of a sent folder and a comparison spreadsheet, that's the whole process in one place.
The point of RFQ automation isn't just less typing — it's a faster decision. When quotes arrive compared and ready, you can pick the best supplier in minutes instead of waiting on the last straggler and rebuilding a spreadsheet. Automated RFQs to suppliers shorten the gap between 'we need this sourced' and 'we've chosen.'
Your agent is only as good as the request you give it. A clear RFQ includes the exact spec, the quantity, the delivery terms and any hard constraints. For example: "RFQ for 1,500 anodized aluminium housings, EU suppliers, ISO 9001, delivery within 6 weeks." That's enough for the AI agent to send automated RFQs to suppliers and return comparable quotes.
You define the RFQ once; the agent sends it to matched suppliers, follows up automatically, and returns the quotes compared side by side — no manual email back-and-forth.
