AI Quote and Order Automation for Distributors & Manufacturers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built software that automates the quoting and order processes for sales teams at distributors and manufacturers in the construction supply chain. It turns requests that used to take days into minutes, by removing repetitive data entry and back-office tasks so reps can focus on selling.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in multiple locations and plan to remain remote after YC, with a distributed team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being remote lets us hire the best engineers and sales talent without geographic limits. The construction supply chain is spread out nationally, so a flexible setup works best for us and our customers.
