Quote Qualification Intelligence Agent

Automatically qualifies quote requests by validating required data, evaluating customer and product fit, and enforcing go/no-go rules.

Quote qualification often requires sales teams to manually verify whether a request contains all necessary information, meets customer and product eligibility constraints, and aligns with pricing and policy rules. This manual analysis is time-consuming, subjective, and causes delays when information is missing or misaligned — ultimately slowing down the quote cycle and increasing the risk of unqualified requests progressing unnecessarily.

The Quote Qualification Intelligence Agent automates this early-stage evaluation using rule-based logic. The agent ingests structured and unstructured inputs such as quote request forms, customer profiles, product catalogs, discount and pricing rules, territory assignments, and credit or eligibility checks. It confirms whether all required fields and supporting documents are present, evaluates customer-product fit based on predefined business criteria, validates pricing and discount thresholds against policy, and identifies any blockers such as product incompatibilities or restricted customer status. When requirements are met, the agent automatically approves the request to advance in the workflow. If issues or gaps are detected, the agent flags them and escalates only true exceptions for manual review — providing clear, actionable guidance on what needs correction or approval.

By ensuring every quote request is complete, eligible, and compliant before progression, the agent reduces manual review cycles, eliminates unnecessary sales–legal handoffs, and standardizes go/no-go decisions. This results in faster quote turnaround, higher process productivity, and improved sales team efficiency.
