Responding to an RFQ should not mean hunting through your catalogue by hand

The same pricing grid, two very different afternoons.

Without Tenderbolt

  • Every RFQ line researched manually across a catalogue of hundreds of references

  • Product matches based on memory and keyword searches that miss synonyms

  • Pricing errors introduced when lines are filled under time pressure

  • Gaps left blank because no one had time to find the right reference

  • A grid that takes a day to fill and still needs a final check

  • Volume capped by how many grids one person can handle per month

With Tenderbolt

  • Every RFQ line matched to your catalogue automatically

  • 80% of lines matched and populated without manual input

  • Gaps and low-confidence matches flagged explicitly for your review

  • A structured, exportable response ready in a fraction of the time

  • The same team handling four times the volume

  • Your experts focused on the 20% that actually needs their judgement

From RFQ grid to submission-ready response

Four steps. No manual product hunt. No guesswork on which reference fits which line.

Read the pricing grid

Upload the client's pricing grid, in whatever format they sent it: Excel, Word or PDF. Tenderbolt reads the structure and maps every line, ready for matching. No manual reading required before the first reference is matched.

    Product matching

    Tenderbolt matches each RFQ line to the most relevant references in your product catalogue. Lines with a confident match are populated automatically. Lines where the match is uncertain, or where no reference exists, are flagged for your review. Every match is visible and traceable.

      Structured response

      Review the matched grid, confirm or adjust flagged lines, and complete the gaps that need your expertise. The structure of the client's original format is preserved throughout, so there is no reformatting work before submission.

        Export and submit

        Export the completed grid in the client's original format, ready to submit. No reformatting, no copy-paste, no version to reconcile. The file that goes out is the file the client sent, filled and structured.

          AI matching reasoning and score

          For every product matched, Tenderbolt surfaces the AI reasoning behind the match: which criteria were taken into account, why that reference was selected, and a confidence score from 1 to 10. Every line is transparent. Your team validates the matches that need judgement with full context, not a black box result.

            Handle more RFQs, with the same team

            Tenderbolt automates the product hunt so your team focuses on the matches that need real expertise.

            80% of lines matched automatically

            Eight out of ten lines populated without manual input. Your team reviews the 20% that needs their judgement, not the whole grid.

            x4 velocity on pricing responses

            The same team, four times the output. Handle 20 pricing grids a month where you were handling five.

            Nothing leaves without your sign-off

            Every flagged line reviewed before export. Every match visible and traceable. Your team stays in control of every response that goes out.

            Industrial distributor responding to an RFQ pricing grid with Tenderbolt

            An industrial distributor responding to 20 or more pricing grids per month was spending a full day per grid, hunting product references manually across a catalogue of thousands of SKUs. With Tenderbolt, 80% of lines are matched automatically. The team reviews flagged lines, exports in the client's format and submits. The same team now handles four times the volume.

            Frequently Asked Questions

            Discover how Tenderbolt accelerates the entire tender response process with AI.

            An RFQ (Request for Quotation) is a pricing-focused document: the client sends a grid listing the products or services they need, and asks suppliers to quote a price against each line. An RFP (Request for Proposal) is broader: it asks for a full solution proposal covering approach, methodology, team and pricing. Tenderbolt handles both, and the workflow on this page is specifically designed for the RFQ format.
            Tenderbolt ingests your product catalogue in standard formats including Excel, CSV and PDF product sheets. Once ingested, the catalogue is searchable and used as the matching source for every RFQ line. The more structured and complete your catalogue, the higher the automatic match rate.
            It flags the line rather than guessing. You see exactly which lines were matched with confidence, which were matched with uncertainty, and which had no match at all. Your team reviews and completes only the flagged lines, so the effort is focused where it is actually needed.
            Yes, for clients in sectors where the BPU format applies. Tenderbolt supports Bordereaux de Prix Unitaires for industrial distributors and medical device providers, where matching a large product catalogue to a pricing grid is the core workflow.
