Quoting Like It’s 2025: How iRFQ by ERP.Aero Redefines Speed, Accuracy, and Control

Most ERP setups in aviation don’t streamline — they stall. You’re juggling RFQs, vendor quotes, certs, and compliance — across disconnected tools that pretend to be “integrated.” ERP.Aero changes that.

We didn’t just connect your quoting and operations — we rebuilt them.

➡️ Multi-source RFQs? Auto-ingested.
➡️ Vendor logic? Auto-applied.
➡️ Inventory, certs, pricing rules, and workflows? All live, all synced.

One system. One screen. One clear margin advantage. This isn’t a bolt-on. It’s the core — reengineered to work at the speed of modern aviation.

Hey everyone —

If you're in aviation sales, ops, or quoting, you've probably felt this: RFQs come in, and the quoting process turns into a scavenger hunt across inboxes, spreadsheets, inventory logs, and third-party tools. It’s slow, disconnected, and honestly, it’s costing you deals.

That’s why I’m sharing this deep dive on iRFQ by ERP.Aero — not just as a feature, but as a new way of thinking about quoting. What used to take multiple systems and manual work now happens in seconds, inside a single page.

No bolt-ons. No lag. Just results.

Full Recall: iRFQ by ERP.Aero

Overview:

iRFQ by ERP.Aero isn’t just a quoting tool — it’s a complete reengineering of how aviation businesses respond to RFQs.

Built natively into the ERP.Aero platform, iRFQ replaces 10–15 modules and quoting steps or various other services, with a single, intelligent workspace that handles the full quoting lifecycle from start to finish. No more switching tabs, retyping part details, chasing vendor emails, or manually calculating margins.

It starts the moment an RFQ enters your system — whether from your website, eCommerce, ILS, PartsBase, Locatory, email sources, or anywhere else. iRFQ centralizes the request, checks internal inventory in real time, pulls live vendor pricing, auto-applies your margin rules, attaches what’s needed, and generates a compliant, customer-ready quote — in seconds.

But it doesn’t stop there. iRFQ transforms quoting from a reactive task into a high-velocity growth engine.

This isn’t a step in the right direction. It’s a leap forward.

This is quoting, for aviation — live, compliant, connected, and fully native.

Core Capabilities:

• Unified Multi Source RFQ ©: Centralized RFQs from all sources: ILS, PartsBase, Locatory, website, ecommerce, captured and disparate emails, and any other source you use to receive RFQs.

• Auto-Margining Engine: Just as with ERP.Aero RFQs, custom margin rules per customer, condition, category, and quote tier — applied in real time.

• Live Vendor Sync: Pulls price/availability data directly from vendors (via integration or linked vendor quotes). This enables the complete management of all vendor quotes with docs, trace, everything, inside ERP.Aero

• Native Inventory Check: Checks internal stock (actual, available, consignments, catalogs) in real time.

• Integrated Compliance: Trace, certs, and airworthiness pre-checked and embedded in the quote when required.

• Audit & Performance Tracking: Tracks quoting speed, conversion rate, and staff responsiveness natively.

Outcomes & Metrics (Banner Aircraft Case Study):

• Quote time: reduced from hours to minutes

• Conversion rate: increased from 15% to 55%, 267%

• Inventory accuracy: 43% to 99%

• Revenue: grew from $10.5M to $21.2M, 102%

• POs issued 75% faster, from 3 days to under 12 hours

• Zero third-party dependencies. Fully native

• Compliance audit readiness: from weeks of prep to continuous readiness, inside ERP.Aero, QMS, training, ASA Statements,...

Facts:

• ERP-native quoting engine, not a bolt-on

• Built for aviation, inside aviation's ERP

• Designed for both sellers and buyers — internal teams can quote instantly from real-time data

• Supports full lifecycle: RFQ ➝ vendor quotes ➝ customer quote ➝ PO ➝ shipment ➝ invoice ➝.

Differentiators:

• True automation — collapses multiple modules (RFQs, Inventory, Vendor Quotes, Compliance, CRM)

• AI-native: learns from past quotes, customer behavior, and vendor patterns (Proper architecture)

• Zero add-ons or sync lag (cost control)

• Built-in Customer Quote to Vendor Offers traceability

• Deeply tied to real inventory, warehouse transfer, freight, and inspection workflows

iRFQ vs. The Other Guys — What’s Missing?

Most quoting platforms claim they can handle RFQs. But once you look under the hood, it’s clear: they’re either sewn together, require armies of manual inputs to function, or “recommend” that you add on a separate RFQ handler, at a (hefty) cost.

iRFQ doesn’t ask your team to do more — it replaces the work entirely, letting them do more, faster, smarter.

Here’s just a glimpse of what iRFQ automatically gathers, syncs, and does — natively, inside ERP.Aero:

Intelligence & Automation

• Auto-margining based on rules, customer, and part type

• AI-powered pricing recommendations

• Auto-quote population based on internal logic and compliance checks

• Vendor Quotes, originally deployed in 2021, is enhanced and fully digitized to serve the needs of today

Inventory & Vendor Quotes

• Live vendor quote sync (not just stored history — iRFQ connects directly or links native vendor quotes)

• Integrated internal inventory check across multiple stock types (actual, consignment, catalogs)

• Direct part-to-quote matching from inventory with alternate PNs and condition mapping

Compliance & Documentation

• Built-in traceability, cert, and compliance validation

• Auto-attach airworthiness, trace, and required documents to outbound quotes

• ASA/ISO/FAA compliance tools embedded in the quoting process

Workflow & Lifecycle Integration

• Full quote lifecycle: RFQ ➝ Vendor Quotes ➝ Customer Quote ➝ PO ➝ Fulfillment ➝ Invoice

• Direct PO creation

• Audit-ready quote history and logs with continuous compliance

Speed, Feedback & Follow-Up

• Built-in follow-up automation with quote status tracking

• Quoting speed and performance analytics tied to users and departments

• Outcome tracking — won/lost quote insights

Platform Architecture

• Truly native — no bolt-ons, syncs, or browser overlays

• Single-page quoting UI integrated into full ERP stack

• API-native across — no data silos

Real Results & Case Studies

• Hard business results: revenue doubled, conversion up 267%, compliance time slashed

• Customer case studies and performance proof
