Questions, answered
Yes. Sorsivo is a focused Distro alternative for complex, evidence-heavy RFQ-to-quote work where external supplier replies, technical deviations, landed cost and human approval determine the final quotation.
The main difference is scope. Sorsivo emphasizes source-linked requirements, supplier evidence, exception review and human-approved quotation preparation. Distro publicly positions a broader agentic sales automation platform with ERP-connected quoting, order entry and adjacent modules.
Sorsivo is purpose-built around UAE and GCC technical RFQ workflows. It is the stronger fit when the team sources externally, needs supplier evidence preserved and wants landed cost and quotation approval kept in one traceable case.
Choose Sorsivo when the RFQ cannot be completed from ERP and catalog data alone. Sorsivo connects the customer request, source evidence, supplier offers, deviations and commercial assumptions before a person approves the quote.
