Pricing responses are unforgiving. One wrong line can sink an otherwise strong bid.

Before your team can price a single line, there is a product hunt underway: matching requirements to your catalogue, checking specifications, validating quantities. Under deadline pressure, that is where errors happen.

  • Product matching done by hand

    Every line requires someone to find the right product from a catalogue that was not built to be searched under pressure.

  • Specifications scattered across documents

    Technical requirements, quantities and constraints sit across the RFQ, addenda and client attachments. Assembling them takes time you do not have.

  • Pricing errors that only appear at submission

    A misread specification, a missing line, a wrong unit: pricing errors are easy to make and expensive to correct after submission.

  • No consistent process across contributors

    Each person builds their pricing section differently. Quality and completeness depend on who is on the desk.

  • Validation bottlenecks at the last hour

    Without a structured review process, pricing sign-off lands on one person at the worst possible moment.

From RFQ lines to a structured pricing response

Tenderbolt reads every line of the RFQ grid, matches it to your catalogue, flags what it cannot match, and gives you a structured base to validate and submit.

Read every RFQ line before matching starts

Tenderbolt reads every line of the RFQ grid so you do not have to.

  • Line-by-line reading of the client's RFQ grid
  • Product requirements, quantities and specifications identified
  • Client constraints and selection criteria flagged
  • A structured view of what the client is asking for, line by line

Match every line to the right product from your catalogue

The right product for every line, drawn from your own catalogue.

  • Each RFQ line matched to the most relevant product references in your catalogue
  • Technical characteristics and specifications cross-referenced
  • Partial match and no-match flagged explicitly, nothing silently skipped
  • Your existing product data reused, not re-entered

x4 velocity on pricing responses

The product hunt is automated. Your team focuses on pricing decisions, not on finding what to price.

80% of BPU lines matched automatically.

The Grand Place in Lille at sunset

An industrial distributor handling 20 BPUs a month was spending hours matching product lines manually from a catalogue of thousands of references. With Tenderbolt, 80% of lines are matched automatically. The team reviews and adjusts the remaining 20% instead of building from scratch on every one. Same catalogue, same team, four times the throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Tenderbolt supports RFQ responses where product lines need to be matched against a catalogue, including BPUs for clients in sectors where that format applies. The matching engine works from your existing product data: references, specifications, descriptions. If you are unsure whether your format is supported, the demo is the fastest way to find out.
When a client sends an RFQ, it typically comes as an Excel grid with product lines to fill. Tenderbolt reads each line of that grid and matches it to the most relevant references in your product catalogue, based on product descriptions, technical specifications and the context provided. Matched lines are populated automatically. Lines where no confident match exists are flagged so your team knows exactly where to intervene before submission.
Yes. The matching engine is built for catalogues where manual search is impractical under deadline pressure. The larger and more complex the catalogue, the more time Tenderbolt saves on every RFQ line.
This page covers the product capability: what Tenderbolt does for RFQ responses, how it works, and what it saves your team. The By use case RFQ page is written for teams that have a specific RFQ tender on their desk and want to understand how Tenderbolt fits their workflow and tender format. Same product, different reading context.
