AI RFQ · Request for Quotation

Smart supplier sourcing,
powered by generative AI.

From search to signed deal in minutes, not weeks. AI finds the right suppliers, you create a structured RFQ in seconds, suppliers bid back directly, and our AI evaluates their contracts for you. Built for procurement teams who don't have time for email back-and-forth.

What is AI RFQ

The fastest way to source from a vetted supplier list.

AI RFQ is Procuman's AI-powered Request-for-Quotation service. You describe what you need in plain language. Our AI scans the public web, returns a structured list of relevant suppliers with verified contact details. You pick the ones you like, fill in a one-page RFQ, and we email it out — replies come back into the same thread.

Procurement is being reshaped by AI. Teams that win are the ones that combine generative AI for RFQ drafting, machine learning for supplier scoring, NLP for multi-language replies, and OCR for scanned documents — all in one workflow. AI RFQ is that workflow.

  • AI web search
    Spans public company sites, registries and trade press in one pass — no manual Googling, no scraped garbage.
  • Structured outreach
    Your RFQ is sent as a clean, scannable email with item / quantity / delivery / payment terms clearly listed.
  • Side-by-side bid comparison
    Every reply — price, lead time, MOQ, payment terms — lands on a single comparison sheet, so picking a winner takes minutes.
  • Privacy-first
    Your name, contact details and tender history stay inside Procuman — we never publish your RFQs or share your supplier list.
How it works

From request to quote in three steps.

No new tools to learn, no spreadsheet templates. The flow is: describe, send, compare. The AI handles the heavy lifting between.

Why AI RFQ

Built for procurement teams that ship.

The boring parts — finding suppliers, chasing quotes, copying data into spreadsheets — are exactly what AI RFQ automates.

Save 6 weeks per purchase

Most buyers report cutting their sourcing cycle from 4–6 weeks to under an hour, even for unfamiliar product categories.

Smarter decisions, not just faster ones

AI surfaces risks, payment terms, and lead-time patterns you'd miss in a manual review. Our AI contract evaluation flags HIGH-risk clauses before you sign.

AI contract review built in

Suppliers send contracts? Click Evaluate with AI for a structured 5-section review — legal terms, risks, price, conditions, verdict — in under 30 seconds.

Risk mitigation, baked in

AI spots risk patterns across your supplier base — payment traps, jurisdiction traps, one-sided termination clauses — before they become a problem.

Better supplier relationships

Clear, structured RFQs mean suppliers know exactly what you need. Less back-and-forth, more competitive bids, faster time-to-signed-deal.

One thread per RFQ

Suppliers reply to a structured thread, not a chaotic inbox. Every bid lands on the same comparison page with prices, lead times and terms aligned.

Vetted supplier data

AI RFQ pulls from public web sources and verifies emails before suggesting them — no dead mailboxes, no generic contact forms.

Reply in your language

Suppliers reply in their language, you see it translated. The platform is available in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Arabic, Indonesian.

Privacy & compliance

Your supplier list, contact details and tender history stay inside Procuman. We never publish your RFQs or share your data with third parties.

Live dashboard

Track every active RFQ in one place: who replied, who's pending, what's blocking the close. Webhook-friendly for ERP integrations.

Get started

From zero to first bid in 6 steps.

AI procurement works best when you start small, keep data clean, and scale. Here's the playbook we recommend.

Pick one category

Start with a single RFQ — not your entire spend. Even one category teaches you the flow.

Describe what you need

Plain language works. "200 DIN valves, EN 12266-1, DAP Munich, Net 30, Q3 2026."

Review the supplier list

AI suggests candidates — you pick. Each has website, email, city, and a confidence score.

Send & compare bids

Tick the suppliers, click send. Replies land on the same comparison page — structured.

Evaluate contracts with AI

If a supplier sends an MSA, NDA, or SOW — click Evaluate with AI for a 5-section review.

Negotiate & close

Ask follow-up questions in the same thread. The supplier never leaves their inbox.

Honest about AI

AI in procurement is powerful, but it has limits. We tell you upfront where it works — and where you'll still need your expertise.

🧹

AI needs good data

Clean supplier records, complete RFQ history. Garbage in, garbage out — that's why we verify emails before suggesting suppliers.

🔌

Integration takes effort

We ship webhooks. ERP sync is on you — but most teams wire it up in a day.

🤝

AI augments, doesn't replace

Your procurement expertise stays in the loop. AI does the reading and routing; you make the final call.

🔒

Privacy by design

Your RFQs, supplier lists, and bids stay inside Procuman. We don't train models on your data.

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

Is my data secure?
Yes. AI RFQ is hosted inside the Procuman platform. Connections are TLS-encrypted, supplier contact details are never shared with third parties, and your RFQ history is private to your account. We do not train AI models on your data.
Do I need to install anything?
No. AI RFQ is a fully web-based service. Sign in with your work email, get a one-time login link, and you're in. Works on any modern browser, desktop or mobile.
How does the AI find suppliers?
The AI reads public web sources — company websites, trade directories, business registries, industry press — and uses a language model to extract the structured fields we need (name, website, email, city, country). We verify the email is reachable before surfacing it to you.
Does Procuman use generative AI?
Yes. We use generative AI to draft your RFQ, generate supplier questions, summarise contracts, and surface risks. We combine it with machine learning (supplier scoring), NLP (multi-language replies), OCR (scanned documents), and web search (vetted suppliers) — the same AI stack used by modern procurement teams.
Can AI evaluate supplier contracts?
Yes. When a supplier sends a contract (MSA, NDA, SOW) as a reply attachment, click Evaluate with AI in the info-request thread. AI extracts the contract text, then produces a 5-section review — legal terms, risks (rated LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH), price & payment terms, other conditions, overall verdict — in under 30 seconds. Available on the Professional plan and above.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All paid plans are month-to-month. Cancel from your dashboard at any time — no contract, no email-back-and-forth.
How is AI RFQ different from a marketplace?
Marketplaces are a directory you browse. AI RFQ does the browsing for you: it goes out, finds candidates for your specific request, and emails your RFQ to them. You stay in control of the shortlist.
