Alternative · Quoting software
The alternative for automated quoting - built for metal.
Handle it manually, try a generic AI or build your own - every path has its price. vanadio is the software trained specifically on metal that reads every inquiry automatically, prices it and writes a ready-to-send quote back into your ERP. No system change, live in under four weeks.
Three ways to handle inquiries - and their limits.
Manual, as before
Safe, but slow. Your best salespeople retype line items instead of selling - and quotes go out too late.
A generic AI
Does not know grades, norms and mill certificates, and reads past what the quote depends on. Not built for the metal trade.
Build it yourself
Ties up months of budget and know-how, and the maintenance never ends. A project, not a result.
Trained on metal, live in weeks.

Trained specifically on grades, tolerances and mill certificates - with 98.5% accuracy on extraction.

The right alternative - in brief.
What is the best alternative to manual quoting?
Software trained on metal that reads inquiries from email, PDF and Excel, recognises grades and quantities, prices them and writes a ready-to-send quote back into your ERP. Your team keeps control, the retyping is gone.
Why is a generic AI not enough?
The metal industry has its own language: grades, norms, tolerances, mill certificates. A general AI does not know this logic. vanadio is trained on metal - 98.5% accuracy.
Should we not build it ourselves?
Building it in-house ties up months of budget and know-how, and the maintenance never ends. vanadio is live in under four weeks and gets better with every quote - without your own engineering team.
Do I have to replace my systems?
No. vanadio fits into your inbox, ERP and CRM and writes back into the ERP. No system change, no migration.
How fast is it live?
In under four weeks: connect the inbox, learn your business, ready-to-send quotes.
How secure is my data?
Enterprise-grade security, hosted in the EU, GDPR-compliant. Strictly separated from other customers, never used to train a shared model.
Who is vanadio the right alternative for?
For metal traders, distributors and processors who handle many inquiries a week and want to quote faster and more accurately.
