RFQ Management for Export & Import Companies — Respond to Global Buyers Faster
Your buyers are in Tokyo, Dubai, São Paulo, and Lagos — sending RFQs while you sleep. Stop losing international orders to time zones and slow manual processing. Automate your export quotation workflow inside Gmail and Outlook.
Export companies using RFQ AutoPilot respond to international buyers 9x faster and capture 27% more orders from overseas markets.
Built for Global Trade — Multi-Language & Multi-Currency
International RFQ management demands capabilities that domestic quoting tools simply do not offer. RFQ AutoPilot's AI understands the linguistic diversity and financial complexity of global trade.
Export companies face a quoting challenge that domestic businesses never encounter. Your international RFQ management demands around-the-clock coverage across 15 different time zones. RFQs arrive in multiple languages — English mixed with Arabic, Spanish with technical French, Chinese descriptions inside English email threads — requesting pricing in currencies you need to convert and compliance documentation that varies by destination country.
The brutal reality: speed of response directly determines who wins the international order. A buyer in Shanghai who sends an RFQ at 9 AM their time does not wait until your New York office opens. RFQ AutoPilot is the RFQ automation software that ensures you never miss a quote request — regardless of when it arrives, what language it is in, or what currency is needed.
AI That Reads RFQs in 40+ Languages
Your buyers write in their native language. Some mix languages within the same email. RFQ AutoPilot's NLP handles all of it — automatically detecting, extracting, and structuring data from any language.
Quote in Any Currency — Convert Automatically
International buyers expect quotes in their local currency. RFQ AutoPilot automates the entire multi-currency quoting process with live exchange rates updated multiple times daily.
24/7 RFQ Detection Across All Time Zones
RFQ detection runs continuously regardless of your business hours. When an RFQ arrives at 3 AM, the system detects it, extracts all data, and prepares a draft quotation ready for your morning review.
Gmail & Outlook Integration
Install as a Chrome Extension for Gmail or add-in for Outlook. Full support for shared inboxes (sales@, export@, quotes@) and Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 admin deployment.
Incoterms, Duties & Shipping Integrated
AI detects when buyers specify FOB, CIF, EXW, DDP and other incoterms, integrates with freight calculators, notes applicable duties, and includes required export documentation references automatically.
Global Analytics Dashboard
Track quoting performance by region, measure win rates by country, monitor average response times, and visualize your global pipeline with a comprehensive analytics dashboard.
40+ Languages — From Arabic to Swahili
Technical terminology across languages: "Acero inoxidable 304" (Spanish), "Edelstahl 1.4301" (German), and "SUS304" (Japanese) all refer to the same stainless steel grade. The AI recognizes these equivalencies automatically. Global trade complexity is well-documented by resources like ITC Trade Tools and UNCTAD Technology for Trade.

Meet Sarah, an export manager at a mid-size trading company exporting industrial equipment to 35 countries. See how our RFQ automation software transforms her day — and discover why it's the leading RFQ software for distributors and trading companies worldwide.
Overnight RFQs Already Processed
Sarah arrives to 23 unread emails from overnight. She spends 45 minutes sorting through them to identify RFQs, follow-ups, and spam. Finds 11 RFQs — three in Arabic, two in Spanish, one in Chinese. Flags them and starts working through the pile.
Sarah opens Gmail and sees 11 emails marked with green RFQ badges. Three overnight RFQs have draft quotation replies prepared by AI — including currency conversion, incoterm suggestions, and shipping estimates. She adjusts one price and sends the first quote at 7:52 AM — to a Dubai buyer who sent the RFQ 9 hours ago.
First quote sent within 7 minutes of arriving. Previously would have taken until 10 AM.
