Talk to Walle

Talk to Walle is an RFQ automation tool designed to streamline the process of responding to inbound requests for quotes. Targeted at individuals and teams who regularly handle RFQs, the platform automates the extraction of part numbers, quantities, and specifications from a wide range of formats, including email bodies, PDFs, Excel files, Word documents, CSVs, and even photos of parts lists. Walle is capable of parsing information from both clean and messy threads, as well as scanned attachments, reducing the manual effort typically required in this workflow.

The core functionality centers on transforming incoming RFQs into ready-to-send draft replies in a matter of minutes. After extracting the relevant details, Walle matches each line item to the appropriate supplier from the user's existing vendor directory and, when necessary, searches the web to find additional vendors and prices. Source pages and prices are attached to the draft, allowing users to avoid manual tab-switching and information hunting. Draft replies are generated in the user's preferred style and can be produced in over 30 languages, supporting cross-border requests. Importantly, Walle does not send replies automatically; users retain control by reviewing and sending each quote themselves.

Integration is designed to be non-disruptive, as Walle operates as an added layer on top of existing inboxes, helpdesks, or CRM systems. There is no need for a full migration or replacement of current tools, and setup is described as being quick, with the platform becoming operational within days. The tool also provides tracking features to monitor how many RFQs it drafts, the time saved, and to identify more complex cases that require human attention.

Privacy and data security are addressed by ensuring that user data, including RFQs, vendor lists, and pricing, remains private and is not used to train public models. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections, and users have the option to delete their information upon request. There are no long-term contracts required, and users can discontinue use at any time. Talk to Walle positions itself as a solution for making RFQ handling faster and less repetitive for sales and quoting professionals.
