One approval card instead of email threads, price lists and drawing lookups.

How it runs
  1. 1An inquiry arrives by email or WeCom. Specs are extracted, each field with a confidence score.
  2. 2The item is matched against the product master: repeat products pull this buyer's last agreed price, new ones go to costing.
  3. 3Two lanes: a target-price check when the customer names a price, or a new-product estimate from the spec-library weight and today's material price, refined after sampling.
  4. 4A WeCom approval card shows the suggested quote with its full evidence: past quotes, cost basis, margin floor.
  5. 5One tap approves. A polished reply is drafted. A human sends it.
  6. The human gateEvery quote is approved by the owner.Every edit teaches the system his real floor.

Copper moves every day. Quotes stay locked for months.

The ROI
~25%*

of gross margin at risk when quotes stay locked through a 10% copper move.

*Modeled for a typical metal-trim factory, not yet measured in production.

Why it matters

For a metal-trim factory, copper is around 70% of unit cost. If quotes stay locked while copper moves 10%, roughly a quarter of the gross margin is gone. Speed compounds it: a study of 2,241 firms found sub-hour responders were nearly 7 times likelier to qualify a lead (Harvard Business Review, 2011).

Market signal

In November 2025, QAD acquired Kavida.ai, whose RFQ agent does for Western enterprises what this workflow does for Asian factories.
