From inbox to quote
in under a minute.
Built for OEMs
When a prospect emails for pricing, speed wins. StokeForge Quoting™ watches your sales inbox, uses AI to match inquiries against your product catalog, and drafts a ready-to-send pricing reply in seconds. If the request is vague, it follows up to clarify by recommending related products automatically.
"When considering B2B purchases, nothing frustrates me more than waiting days for a reply to get simple pricing. The problem isn't always laziness. Sales teams are overwhelmed by the routine: Search spreadsheet, copy price, paste into email, send, and repeat 50 times a day. StokeForge Quoting eliminates slow/no replies, inconsistent pricing, and sales team burnout."

AI Inbox Management
Your RFQ inbox — reviewed, extracted, and quoted automatically.
Every inbound RFQ email is intercepted, parsed by AI, and turned into a draft quote before you even open it. The inbox UI shows you what was found, lets you correct anything off, and sends with one click.
- Polls your inbox every 60 seconds via IMAP
- Fuzzy product matching handles typos and part number variants
- AI drafts a personalized reply — not a form letter
- Corrections feed back into the model automatically
- Full status flow: New → Draft Ready → Sent → Archived
How It Works
Four steps. One quote out the door.
From the moment an RFQ lands in your inbox to the moment a branded PDF hits your customer's email — under a minute.
Step 01
Email Arrives
A customer sends an order inquiry to your sales inbox. The system picks it up within 60 seconds via IMAP polling — no manual checking, no missed requests.
Step 02
AI Extracts & Clarifies
AI reads the email, matches every requested item to your catalog, and generates a draft quote with current pricing applied. If anything is ambiguous — a low confidence match, a missing quantity, or an unclear product reference — the system automatically sends a clarification reply to the customer. No back and forth on your end.
Step 03
Review or Auto-Send
When confidence is high and everything matches, you can configure the system to send automatically — no human step required. For anything flagged during clarification, the quote is ready to approve the moment the customer replies.
Step 04
Send
One click sends a personalized reply with the branded PDF attached. Quote status updates to Sent. The full audit trail is preserved.
The Challenge
The hard way vs the StokeForge Quoting™ way
Manual quote assembly is slow, error-prone, and doesn't scale. Spend less time hunting spreadsheets and more time selling.
The old way
- Customer emails in — you look up each item manually against your price list
- Different pricing rules for different accounts or quantities, calculated by hand every time
- Price list lives in a spreadsheet that someone has to remember to update
- Ambiguous requests turn into a back-and-forth exchange before a quote ever goes out
- Every rep writes a different reply, siloing information. This means no consistency, no sales team redundancy.
With StokeForge Quoting
- AI reads the inquiry and matches every item to your catalog automatically
- Upload your price list via CSV or XLS. Customer and account pricing rules apply instantly
- Ambiguous requests trigger an automatic clarification reply with related product suggestions
- Setup high-confidence quotes to send automatically with no human interaction required
- Branded PDF attached and sent. Consistent, on-brand, every time.
What Makes It Different
Built for distributors and OEMs who sell from a price list.
Most quoting tools are built for custom fabricators. This one was built for businesses with real catalogs, real pricing rules, and real volume.
Rules-Based Pricing
Customer tiers, quantity breaks, and promotional pricing apply automatically the moment a quote is created. No manual math, no margin erosion, no inconsistency across your sales team.
AI That Learns
When you correct a product match, the system logs the correction and uses it to improve future extractions automatically. It gets more accurate with every quote.
AI Scratchpad-to-Quote
Sales agents on a call can jot down any combination of customer info, part numbers, or loose descriptions. AI finds the matching products, applies pricing, and drafts a complete quote — no spreadsheet hunting, no follow-up call required.
CSV, XLS & API Import
Upload your price list via CSV or XLS — or connect via API for live sync. Pricing stays current without IT involvement. Every quote reflects your latest catalog, automatically.
Competitor Reconnaissance Filtering
Competitors don't always identify themselves. StokeForge Quoting reads email metadata and flags suspicious inquiry patterns — vague wording, unusual part number fishing, known competitor domains — so you know before you quote.
Analytics Dashboard
Trailing quote volume reports, forward-looking value, AI training records, database change alerts — all in a single real-time view.
