Illustrative example
A 12-person furniture wholesalerFrom enquiry to a drafted quote, without retyping
Enquiries from the website and email land in the CRM, and a quote draft with current prices waits for the salesperson.
Enquiry to quote
- FormEnquiry receivedWebsite form or sales inbox
- AIProducts and quantities readUnclear items are flagged
- CRMContact and deal createdChecked for duplicates first
- ERPStock and prices looked up
- EmailQuote drafted for the salesperson
The situation
Enquiries arrive through the website form and a shared sales inbox.
Whoever sees one first types the contact into the CRM, looks up prices and stock in another system, and writes the quote in a document. On busy days enquiries wait, and some are answered twice while others are missed. Nobody can say for sure how many are open.
What we would build
- 01
One intake for the form and the inbox, so every enquiry is captured once with its source
- 02
An AI step that reads the free text and picks out products, quantities and the delivery place, and flags what it could not read
- 03
A duplicate check, then a contact and a deal in the CRM, assigned by region and product group
- 04
A quote draft filled from the current price list and stock, placed in the salesperson’s drafts
- 05
A reminder to the owner when a deal has had no reply, and an alert to a person if any step fails
What changes
- Salespeople open a prepared draft and check it, instead of starting from an empty document
- Every enquiry has an owner and a status the whole team can see
- The sales lead sees what is open without asking around
- Prices in quotes come from one source, so they match what is invoiced later
Use cases in this example
