From four hours per quote to verified quotes in twenty minutes

Food manufacturer

A multi-site food manufacturer needed custom recipe RFQs (arriving as PDFs) matched to ingredients and costing in the ERP without losing the sales ops review.

2 daysfrom kickoff to live intake, matching, and verification

Why this matters for manufacturing & distribution

Food and beverage manufacturers win or lose margin at the quote desk. Unstructured RFQs become ERP exceptions unless intake, matching, and verification are built for the team that already owns the process and the audit trail.

A food manufacturer came to Structify Industrial with a recipe intake problem: custom food RFQs arriving as PDFs, four hours per quote to match ingredients against the ERP. In two days, we built the intake pipeline, the matcher, and the verification screen for their sales ops team. Today, recipes come in, get pre-matched in seconds, and their team verifies and quotes in twenty minutes.
