AI RFQ & Lead Assistant for B2B Manufacturing & Industrial Suppliers

Manufacturers lose deals when RFQs sit in an inbox for three days. NimbleBiz.ai engages buyers on arrival, collects structured specs, and routes qualified opportunities to the right sales engineer in minutes.

The Problem

Industrial and manufacturing sales cycles are long — but the first 24 hours after an RFQ arrives still decides who wins. Slow technical intake means competitors with dedicated sales engineers get the deal.

How NimbleBiz.ai Solves It

NimbleBiz.ai engages every website and WhatsApp inquiry, collects structured technical specs (materials, tolerances, quantities, delivery timelines), and routes qualified opportunities to the right sales engineer or distributor with full context.

Upload your product catalog

Technical specs, materials, capabilities, certifications, past case studies.

2
Define qualification flows

Set thresholds for volume, geography, industry vertical.

3
Route to sales engineers

Qualified RFQs hit the right rep's queue with the spec summary ready.

Need a quote for aluminum bracket, 5000 units, ISO 9001 required.

We can help — our facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Quick specs: what alloy (6061, 7075, other), what's the bracket thickness, and do you have a CAD file to share? Also, target delivery date?
