What this means

Recommended next step
We'll walk through how Breadboard parses every inbound RFQ, extracts the BOM, and auto-generates the quote scaffold — built around your actual workflow.
Methodology: this estimate uses the industry-average 40% RFQ non-response rate referenced across EMS sales operations research. Your actual gap may vary based on segment mix and capacity constraints.
The moment
Your quoting team is good. They're just outnumbered. Every RFQ that comes in gets a prioritization decision — and the ones that don't get quoted don't disappear. They go to someone else.
Reformatting BOMs from PDFs, messy Excel, and email bodies into something usable.
Looking up price and availability across multiple distributor portals, line by line.
Template population, margin math, formatting, and proofing before review.
The math
A 4-hour RFQ cycle with 70% non-judgment pre-work = ~2.8 hrs/quote in automatable work × 250 RFQs/mo = 700 hrs/month you're not getting back.
How Breadboard closes the gap
Email, Excel, PDF — every inbound RFQ is parsed automatically, regardless of format. No more manual data entry.
AI-powered component matching against live supplier data, in seconds — not hours of distributor portal hopping.
A 90%-complete quote lands in your team's queue, ready for human review and approval.
Typical deployments move RFQ response rate from industry average to near ceiling within 6 weeks.
"Breadboard transformed our quoting process from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage — improving speed, accuracy, and customer confidence while directly contributing to top-line growth."
