Sound familiar?

These are the problems we hear from teams like yours every day. Laureo was built to solve them.

1

RFQs tracked in spreadsheets with no visibility into which quotes are outstanding and which went cold

2

Distributor and rep relationships managed informally, making it hard to evaluate channel performance

3

Quote follow-up depends on the sales rep remembering, and slow follow-up loses orders to competitors

4

Invoicing happens in a separate system, disconnected from the order pipeline

5

No revenue forecast because quote data is not organized in a way that supports weighted pipeline analysis

Built for the way you work

RFQ pipeline boards

Track every RFQ on a visual Kanban board from inquiry to PO received. Custom stages match your quoting process: received, estimating, quoted, negotiation, PO, shipped.

Product catalog and line items

Maintain a product catalog with SKUs, descriptions, and pricing. Build quotes with line items pulled from the catalog for accurate and consistent quoting.

Automated quote follow-up

Workflows send follow-up emails after quoting and flag quotes with no response. Timely follow-up improves your quote-to-order conversion rate.

Track distributor companies and rep contacts with territory assignments, sales volume, and commission data in custom fields.

Order invoicing

Generate invoices from won orders with line items from the quote. Track payment terms, outstanding balances, and overdue invoices.

How it works

From setup to results in 5 straightforward steps.

1

Import your accounts and contacts

Upload customer, distributor, and rep data. Tag by territory, product line, and account tier. Import active quotes with values and stages.

2

Set up your RFQ pipeline

Create stages that match your quoting process. Add custom fields for lead time, material type, and quantity requirements.

3

Build your product catalog

Enter products with SKUs, descriptions, and pricing. Use the catalog to build accurate quotes directly from pipeline records.

4

Automate quote follow-ups

Build workflows that send follow-up emails after quoting and flag stale quotes. Consistent follow-up converts more quotes to orders.

5

Track orders and revenue

When quotes convert to POs, generate invoices and track delivery. Dashboards show revenue by territory, product, and time period.
