The Problem

What’s Actually Slowing You Down

An RFQ lands in a crowded inbox on Friday evening. It is answered on Tuesday, and the buyer has already placed the order with a competitor.

✗

RFQs arrive by email and WhatsApp and are answered late

✗

Buyers and dealers keep asking for order and dispatch status

✗

Payment follow-ups are manual and awkward

✗

Repeat buyers and dealers are not nurtured

If this sounds like your week, the next section is for you.

Illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. Results depend on your volumes, team and follow-through. Setup and retainer use the Automation Bundle range; your exact quote is confirmed after a short discovery call.

How this is calculated

Time saved = (tasks per enquiry × enquiries + fixed monthly tasks) × minutes saved per task.
Extra customers = (enquiries recovered from slow or missed replies + new enquiries from lead generation) × your conversion rate, plus existing customers brought back by reminders and recalls.
Extra profit = extra customers × average customer value × your profit margin.
To stay conservative, new customers are capped at 15% above your current monthly customers, and returning customers at 6% of your existing base. A repeat visit is valued at the share of the average revenue that is realistic for your industry.
Payback = setup ÷ (monthly benefit − retainer), shown for the low and high end of the bundle range.
