Automate quotes with AI: from briefing to proposal in 10 minutes
In many SMEs the quote is the number one commercial bottleneck. The customer asks for something, the salesperson or technical office spends hours reading specs, consulting price lists, calculating discounts, and generating a presentable PDF. The average time between request and quote delivery is often 2-4 days: meanwhile, the customer has received two proposals from faster competitors. IL DOGE DI VENEZIA builds AI systems that automate the entire quoting process: the agent reads the request (email, web form, WhatsApp, PDF specification), extracts the specs, queries price lists and cost databases, applies your company's commercial rules, calculates the margin, and generates a ready-to-send PDF quote — always keeping a human review point before sending to the client. The result: quotes ready in minutes instead of days, salespeople free to work on the relationship, and a close rate that rises simply because you arrive first.
Why it works
From briefing to PDF in 10 minutes
Quoting time drops by 90-95%. Your salesperson receives the ready draft and focuses on the deal, not on Excel.
Price lists and rules always up to date
The agent always works on the latest version of price lists, commercial discounts, and supplier costs. No quotes with old prices or wrong margins.
Automatic extraction from specifications
Reads PDF specifications, RFQs, and long emails and extracts codes, quantities, and technical specs. Eliminates the most-hated manual reading work.
Human oversight on sends
The salesperson receives the ready quote and decides whether to send it, modify it, or hold it. AI proposes: people decide.
Concrete use cases
Recurring quotes on standard catalog generated directly from the customer's email
Reading RFQs and PDF specifications with automatic extraction of codes, quantities, and specs
Quotes for configurable services (modules, options, service levels) with margin calculation
Automatic response to quote requests received after hours with draft ready for the morning
Multi-scenario offer generation (basic, standard, premium) from a single briefing
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to automate quotes with AI?
It depends on catalog complexity and integrations. Pilots on a product segment start contained and pay for themselves in 3-6 months of hours saved.
Does it work even if price lists are in Excel and not in an ERP?
Yes. We start from what you have: Excel sheets, PDFs, management databases. If the price lists are structured in some way, the agent can use them.
How soon can you see the first automated quote?
The first end-to-end flow on a product subset is operational in 3-5 weeks. Then it extends progressively to the rest of the catalog.
