In a December 2022 CNBC survey, 61% of logistics managers described their supply chain as 'not operating normally,' and 29% predicted normalcy won't return until at least 2025 — meaning urgent procurement needs surface at all hours, not just 9-to-5.

When a procurement manager sends an RFQ covering 50 SKUs, a 4-hour response window often means they've already sourced from a competitor with faster follow-up. In a market where 61% of logistics managers say their supply chain isn't operating normally, buyers can't afford to wait — and neither can your fill rate or perfect order rate. The distributor who answers first wins the order."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"","color":"from-yellow-500 to-green-500","title":"Sales Reps Burn Hours Filtering Tire Kickers from Real RFQs","description":"Your reps spend hours separating low-intent inquiries from genuine requests for quote.
