Industries where technical sales runs through an engineer
Thousands of SKUs. Datasheets that run to thousands of pages. Configurable parts with no fixed part number. A customer who describes a job or a requirement, not a product they already have in mind. Rapidflare connects your disparate knowledge sources into a structured catalog and a detailed knowledge graph, then builds AI agents that select the right part, answer the technical question, write the proposal, or automate any other step of the sales process.
Multiple industries, the same problem
Every one of them is missing a product intelligence layer, so the right information never reaches the right person. That routes technical questions through your sales engineers instead of your product, and it slows the sales cycle, shrinks deal size and stalls deal velocity. Pick your industry to see how Rapidflare fixes it.
Automate the long-tail of customers
Your parametric search works when the customer already knows the parameters. Your best application engineers work when they have time for the account. Rapidflare answers "I’m designing an automotive infotainment system, what should I use?" the way your best AE would, for every customer, including the long-tail who never got that engineer’s attention at all.
Explore → EMS, ODM and OEM customers, each served properly
Distributors serve three kinds of customer and each one buys differently: an EMS quoting a bill of materials, an ODM team specifying a system for a design win, and an OEM working from a plain-language requirement. Rapidflare builds the catalog across your line card and gives each motion its own agent.
Explore → Bid on more jobs, and get there first
Whoever comes back first with the right options, a clear technical explanation and a detailed proposal wins the job. We build the product catalog across every line card you carry, give you the product information management system you never had, and turn a requirement into a proposal today. That means faster deal velocity and a higher win rate, not necessarily a bigger deal.
Explore → Support, sales and channel enablement from one vendor
A channel business runs on the volume of deals it can bid and close, not on one large contract. Rapidflare answers the support question before it becomes a ticket, enables the sales team, and gives the channel the same technical depth as your own team.
Explore → Check stock, cross-reference, configure, order
Many of your components are configurable: the SKU does not exist until someone specifies it, and the requirement arrives as prose in an email or over the phone. Rapidflare checks live inventory first. If the part is in stock, it ships. If not, it finds a compatible part through cross-reference. If nothing matches, it runs the configuration tools and creates the SKU. Then it enters the order, with the right shipping details, into your ERP: the whole workflow, automated.
Explore → A buyer describes the job, the site returns a quote
Keyword search cannot do anything with "I need pricing on rivets and hardware for a solar install we’re bidding on." Rapidflare clarifies the spec, filters the catalog, checks live inventory, substitutes what is out of stock, builds the BOM and generates the quote.
Explore → Different industries, the same underlying problem
Too many products, too few people who can explain them. The expertise sits with a handful of engineers, and everything queues behind their calendar.
- The catalog holds a fraction of the knowledge. The rest is in datasheets, application notes, reference designs, support tickets and schematics.
- The question does not arrive as a query. It arrives as an application, a BOM, a site walkthrough or a photograph.
- The answer requires reasoning, not retrieval. Matching a requirement to a product means understanding both.
- The people who can do it do not scale. Application engineers are the bottleneck in every one of these businesses.
- A product intelligence layer. We ingest your technical documentation and normalize it into a catalog and a knowledge graph.
- Agents on top of it. Selection, technical support, cross-reference, proposal, order entry, each task-specific rather than general purpose.
- Deployed where the work happens. Website, inside your product, partner portal, Slack, Teams, developer communities, ERP.
- With a source on every line. Every answer traceable back to the document it came from.
