Intent-aware enquiry software for manufacturers and B2B suppliers that structures technical, quantity, compatibility, lead-time and quotation requirements from buyer messages.
B2B enquiries frequently include specifications, quantities, drawings, delivery deadlines and compatibility questions. Sales teams spend substantial time translating messages into quote-ready requirements.
“We need 250 stainless brackets to the attached dimensions, preferably 316 grade, delivered to Dandenong by the end of next month. Can you confirm lead time and quote?”
An intent-aware system can turn that message into structured context before the next step happens.
B2B enquiries often arrive as semi-structured requests containing a product name, dimensions, material, quantity, drawing reference, delivery deadline and request for pricing. Sales teams then spend time interpreting the message and transferring details into an RFQ or ERP process.
Intent-aware intake can extract those commercial and technical details into a consistent brief, identify what is missing and route the request to the right product or sales team. It is especially useful where product language differs between customers and internal systems.
Traditional website search is useful when a customer already knows the exact words your business uses. Intent search is designed for the messier reality: people describe a problem, goal or situation in their own language and often include several needs in one message.
“Can you quote 500 stainless-steel brackets to this drawing, delivered to Melbourne by the end of next month?”
Keyword search can find “stainless-steel brackets” but usually cannot interpret quantity, drawing/specification context, delivery deadline and RFQ intent as one commercial request.
It can still be useful for direct navigation, but the customer normally has to choose the right wording, page or category themselves.
Intent search can recognise an RFQ, extract product/material, quantity, delivery requirements and attached-document context, then route it to sales or estimating for technical review.
The result can therefore be more than a page match: it can become a qualified enquiry, guided next step, workflow trigger or deliberate human handoff.
The value of intent search is different in every industry. For this type of business, the strongest advantages are:
Product, specification, quantity and delivery details can be captured from emails or forms.
Drawings, part numbers and specifications can be associated with the enquiry context.
Pricing, compatibility, availability and after-sales questions can route appropriately.
Estimators receive clearer requirements rather than manually reconstructing every enquiry.
Repeated product, quantity and specification requests can reveal commercial opportunities.
One useful test of an intent system is whether it can deal with the variety of language real customers use, not just one perfect demo question.
“Please quote 500 stainless brackets to the attached drawing, delivery in October.”
Capture RFQ intent, quantity, material, drawing reference and deadline.
“Do you have a replacement motor compatible with model XZ-240?”
Recognise compatibility/product-match intent for technical review.
“We need 20 pallets monthly if you can supply nationally.”
Identify recurring/bulk commercial opportunity and distribution context.
“Can you send the data sheet and certification for this product?”
Route documentation intent without creating an unnecessary sales quote.
Technical specifications, tolerances, compliance requirements and final quotations should be validated by authorised staff.

The value is not simply producing an AI answer. It is reducing the friction between an unstructured enquiry and the next useful business action.
The Intent Engine does not need to become another isolated tool. A commercial build can be designed around the systems your team already uses, subject to the integrations and security controls those systems support.
Engineering suitability, certification, contractual commitments, lead times and final pricing should be confirmed from authoritative systems and qualified staff. The engine should not invent technical specifications.
Commercial fit for Manufacturing & B2B Suppliers
Website enquiries, forms, shared inboxes, portals or other approved customer and staff intake points.
Intent, context, timing, urgency and the industry-specific details already demonstrated on this page.
Routing, clarification, structured hand-off, notification or a controlled action in an existing business system.
We map your real request types, terminology, confidence thresholds, escalation points and integrations before deciding what should be automated.
Yes. It can extract stated quantities, specifications, timing and commercial intent into structured fields.
A custom workflow can capture attachments and associate them with the request; technical interpretation should remain with appropriate staff unless specifically engineered and validated.
Yes. That is a useful intent/ontology problem and can be designed around your catalogue.
Yes. Different intent classes can trigger different teams and workflows.
