Prepare an RFQ and Split It Across Suppliers
Sourcing a project rarely means sending one document to one supplier. Different trades go to different specialists, some positions you already have priced, and every supplier replies in their own format. Keeping that straight across email threads is where quotes get lost and deadlines slip.
Streckenheld AI turns a bill of quantities into a single request for quotation you can slice by supplier. Ask each recipient for exactly the positions you want from them, send everyone a personal link, and collect every reply — typed prices or PDFs — in one place, ready to compare.
Key features
- BOQ becomes a draft RFQ automatically — the positions extracted during BOQ analysis seed the request; review and edit the line items grouped by section
- Split by trade or supplier — request a different subset of positions from each recipient, so the steel supplier sees the steel and the insulation supplier sees the insulation
- Flexible recipients — pick a featured storefront, choose a contact from your address book, or add a supplier by free-text name and email with no record yet
- Token-gated submission links — every supplier gets a personal link to submit their offer; no account, no login
- Suppliers type prices and/or upload a PDF — recipients can enter unit prices per line, attach a quote file, or both, along with contact details, VAT, payment terms, and rebates
- Versioned re-submissions — a supplier can send an updated offer; the history is kept per recipient
- GAEB X83 export — hand suppliers a structured GAEB DA 83 file for their ERP
- Add offers from other channels — got a quote by email or WhatsApp? Drop the PDF in as a new offer with its supplier name and it joins the same comparison
How it works
- Create the request from your BOQ. Uploading and analyzing a bill of quantities produces a draft RFQ. Review the extracted positions and construction site.
- Add your recipients. Tap a storefront, pick a contact, or paste a name and email. Each recipient's name and email pre-fill from the record.
- Split the positions. For each supplier, select the subset of positions you want quoted — or send the full list. Each supplier's email includes only their positions.
- Send the invitations. Every recipient receives a personal message with a secure link to submit their offer, and the relevant positions attached.
- Collect the offers. Suppliers type prices or upload a PDF through their link. For quotes that came in off-channel, use "Add offer" to include them. Each new offer is read and its line items extracted.
- Compare. Once offers arrive, move on to comparing them and choosing the best supplier.
Who it's for
RFQ preparation is for procurement managers and site managers who source across multiple trades and suppliers and are tired of chasing quotes by email. Splitting one bill of quantities into targeted, per-supplier requests — with a no-friction way for suppliers to reply — turns a scattered inbox into a single, comparable set of offers.
