PVF distribution runs on quotations, and those quotations are slow. A single RFQ can contain dozens or hundreds of line items written in inconsistent shorthand, and someone has to interpret each one, search catalogs and ERP records for the right part, confirm pricing and availability, and assemble a response. IDL targets exactly that bottleneck with industry-trained AI that parses line items, performs complex product matching to identify appropriate suppliers for each item, and generates priced output inside the tools the sales team already uses.

IDL's stated outcome is a reduction in quote processing time from hours to minutes, which feeds directly into win rates: the first responder on a PVF bid usually has the advantage, and faster turnaround frees inside sales staff for customer engagement instead of administrative hunting. The company also emphasises scalability, so a distributor can handle more RFQs without adding headcount, along with market responsiveness and AI-assisted analytics for pricing and inventory decisions.

Deployment is designed to be pragmatic. IDL integrates with ERP, CRM and other business applications, but the company notes that teams can get started quickly using just their product catalog, which shortens time to value and avoids a heavy systems project before the first quote. Support includes guided onboarding, immediate activation, tiered plans, and a dedicated support team, and the sales motion is built around a short 15-minute demo.
