Ambry Hill Technologies has announced that VistaQuote now uses the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically understand and process human-typed, freeform emails into the www.Vista-Quote.com platform just like any other RFQ. This capability is available right now in VistaQuote and is a shining example of putting
the power of AI directly in the hands of end-users to create real-world and practical benefits. The gap in technology, where AI is a perfect fit as a solution, is in the recognition and processing of the non-marketplace and non-listing service RFQs.
VistaQuote has been great for processing marketplace and listing service RFQs, but what about the random RFQ emails typed by a human that is asking for availability and pricing? Cole Davisson, Vice President of Software Innovation at Ambry Hill Technologies explains: “VistaQuote already had the ability to auto-quote RFQs based on a feature-rich selection of customisable parameters. Now imagine pairing the auto-quoting with our AI recognition of human-typed RFQ emails. This exciting combination of AI and auto-quoting means that RFQ emails are recognised, interpreted, have the data extracted, are made into an RFQ within VistaQuote, and within seconds the customer will receive a quote without a human shepherding it throughout the entire process.”
When the AI in VistaQuote successfully extracts the information from an email, VistaQuote can kick off a variety of automations like dispatching it to the appropriate salesperson, executing an export compliance check through Descartes 700+ restricted third-party databases, or check inventory availability. All this is to stage the RFQ/RFP for immediate action.
