For electrical distributors

Keep electrical specifications attached to every quotation decision.

Electrical RFQs can combine detailed schedules, approved manufacturers, standards and delivery requirements. Sorsivo structures the request, organizes supplier replies and shows reviewers the evidence behind proposed matches and prices.

Move from item schedules to a controlled commercial answer.

A useful electrical quotation must preserve the customer’s technical basis while accounting for supplier scope, lead time and cost. Sorsivo helps organize that work without treating different products as equivalent by default.

  • Extract line items and specifications from customer emails, PDFs and spreadsheets.
  • Keep details such as voltage, rating, standard and approved make linked to their source.
  • Compare supplier descriptions and commercial terms on a consistent basis.
  • Route technical differences and pricing assumptions to human review.

Small specification differences can change the acceptable product.

Electrical schedules often repeat similar descriptions with one critical difference. The quotation workflow must preserve those details from the RFQ through supplier comparison.

01

Line-item schedules are dense

Ratings, poles, breaking capacity, enclosure details, standards and quantities may appear in compressed spreadsheet descriptions.

02

Manufacturer language varies

A supplier may describe an offer differently from the customer schedule, making source-linked comparison more useful than text matching alone.

03

Scope changes the commercial result

Accessories, documentation, delivery basis and lead time can materially affect the completeness and cost of an offer.

Prepare electrical quotations around requirements and exceptions.

The team gets a clearer review surface while retaining responsibility for the technical and commercial decision.

  1. 1

    Structure the electrical schedule

    Capture each requested item, quantity and specification while retaining the customer’s original wording.

  2. 2

    Map supplier responses

    Connect offered products and terms to the correct schedule lines and supporting documents.

  3. 3

    Expose technical differences

    Bring conflicting ratings, standards, makes, missing details or alternative products to the reviewer’s attention.

  4. 4

    Approve the complete quote

    Review the product basis, evidence, landed-cost assumptions and customer-facing price before anything is sent.

Technical control

AI can find the difference. A qualified person decides whether it is acceptable.

Sorsivo keeps customer requirements and supplier evidence in view so technical alternatives are not accepted by automation alone.

  • Original schedule language remains available to the reviewer.
  • Missing or conflicting specifications stay visible as exceptions.
  • Technical equivalents and customer-facing commitments require human approval.

Frequently asked questions

Can Sorsivo read electrical item schedules?

Sorsivo is designed to structure line items and specifications from spreadsheets, PDFs and email while preserving links to the source material.

No. It can organize the requested and offered details and surface differences, but an experienced person decides whether an alternative is technically acceptable.

Can electrical suppliers be compared on more than price?

Yes. The Sorsivo workflow brings technical compliance, missing details, lead time, commercial terms and landed-cost assumptions into the review context.

Does an electrical distributor need to replace its ERP?

No. Sorsivo is implemented for source-before-quote work beside the existing inbox and ERP. Customer-specific connections are configured within the agreed implementation scope.
