You Didn’t Break Quoting. The Industry Did.

Marketplaces exploded. Platforms multiplied. Emails piled up. Now, suppliers aren’t just quoting — they’re translating.

One day it’s email RFQs. The next, a portal that makes you log in just to reply. Then another system scrapes your inbox, parses your quote, and sends it back to your ERP — hours later.

Meanwhile, the system that’s supposed to run quoting? Still waiting. Disconnected. Blind. Behind.

And in aviation, that kind of delay doesn’t just slow you down — it costs you deals.

The Modern RFQ Maze — Where Work Got Replaced by Workarounds

Here’s what quoting looks like for most suppliers today:

• ✉️ RFQs hit your inbox from known and unknown buyers

• 🔗 Others ping your ILS, PartsBase, and Locatory accounts

• 🌐 A third platform sends a request - but forces you to use their interface

• 📥 Then a “smart” tool parses your quote email… then just to sync it back into your ERP later

The result? You’re chasing your own workflow. Quotes are scattered. Certs get missed. Decisions happen late — or worse, blindly.

That’s why in 2024, ERP.Aero deployed a quoting breakthrough to shut the loop.

💥 Meet iRFQ — Built to Eliminate the Disconnect

We didn’t build a helper tool. We built a quoting core. Integrated, not adjacent.

And that system is called: iRFQ

It’s a multi-source RFQ, vendor quote, and cert capture that works as fast as you do

Today’s aftermarket is unforgiving. Procurement teams are flooded with RFQs from tons of sources, and vendor replies - buried in emails, scattered across PDFs, slowed by manual entry, missing certs, and broken trails.

You wait on one system to receive, another to communicate, and a sync process that might take hours. By the time you’re ready to quote, the buyer has already moved on.

iRFQ fixes that.

It doesn’t just help you respond faster. It eliminates the chaos altogether.

• RFQs from PartsBase, ILS, Locatory, your eCommerce portal, and email. All land in one unified inbox.

• Vendor replies are auto-captured with pricing, certs, docs, and images.

• Quotes are generated, compliant, and ready to win — without toggles, parsing delays, or retyping.

From RFQ intake to customer quote, and vendors quotes in between — it all happens in one continuous system, not later, right now.

What iRFQ Does

✅ Auto-Captures from All Channels

RFQs no longer just come by email. iRFQ pulls them from:

• ✉️ Email

• 🌐 Inventory Locator Service,® LLC

• 🔗 PartsBase Inc.

• 🌍 Locatory.com

• 🛒 Ecommerce portals

• 🖥️ Your website

No RFQ gets missed. No team member gets buried.

Vendor Quotes? iRFQ captures them too:

• Captured instantly

• Matched to the right RFQ

• Ingested with certs (8130s, CoCs, teardown, trace, product pictures)

• Logged, searchable, quote-ready

• Paired with every RFQ that requires the respective quote

Certs aren’t parsed after the fact. They’re embedded in the flow.

✅ Autoquote Engine — From Config-Based to AI-Driven

Whether you use config rules or AI-enhanced pricing logic:

• AI suggests pricing, alternates, cert choices, and buyer risk

• Rules can trigger autoquote generation for repeatable RFQs

• Every quote includes margin history, certs, and traceability

iRFQ doesn’t just respond. It thinks, learns, and quotes with confidence.

✅ Why it Matters — The iRFQ Edge

1. Manual Data Entry for RFQs

Most quoting teams still copy and paste pricing from vendor emails and PDFs. It’s tedious, error-prone, and burns valuable time with every quote. iRFQ replaces that entire step — vendor quotes are captured and auto-populated in seconds.

2. Missed Vendor Responses

When quote threads live in cluttered inboxes, it’s easy to lose track of vendor replies or miss attachments completely. And when the cert is buried, the quote stalls. iRFQ ensures every quote, cert, and reply is captured and attached automatically — nothing gets missed.

3. Compliance Risk

Certs like 8130s, CoCs, teardown reports, and trace docs often arrive late or live in someone’s inbox. That delay turns into quoting risk — or worse, compliance exposure. With iRFQ, certs are linked, searchable, and audit-ready from the start.

4. Sourcing Slowdown

Quoting speed isn’t just about decision-making — it’s about eliminating retyping. When buyers spend hours on admin, they miss the quotes that actually win. iRFQ frees them to focus on strategy, not screens.

5. Lack of Visibility

In most systems, there’s no clear view of what a vendor actually sent — or when. That forces teams to chase data instead of quoting. iRFQ provides a fully timestamped, unified quote log for every RFQ — instant clarity, no guesswork.

iRFQ in Action — The Flow That Changes Everything

1. RFQ Received — via email, ILS, ecommerce, Locatory, eCommerce, Website

2. Vendor Replies Arrive — email, with attachments

3. iRFQ Captures It All — price, lead time, condition, certs

4. Side-by-Side Comparison — all vendors, one screen

5. Quote Built — with certs already attached

6. Sent, Tracked, Converted — no toggles, no re-entry, no delays

7. Built-In Audit Trail

8. Single source of truth

🔧 Real-Time Isn’t a Feature. It’s the Baseline.

Let’s be clear:

You don’t win quotes because you respond fast. You win because you respond completely — faster.

Quoting today is about:

• Including the right certs the first time

• Surfacing the best alternates instantly

• Knowing your margin before the quote goes out

• Picking the best vendor without opening 12 tabs

Other tools intercept your email and they promise automation. iRFQ eliminates the need to leave it. ERP.Aero delivers execution.

There’s no delay. No sync. No dual entry. Because iRFQ isn’t next to your ERP — it is your ERP.

Not to patch the chaos. To remove the need for it — entirely.
