AI Enquiry Builder: from messy files to RFQs in minutes

Product 5 min read

Why this matters

Logistics teams are drowning in PDFs, screenshots, and scattered emails. The AI Enquiry Builder ingests those mixed inputs and drafts a structured RFQ with lanes, package dimensions, incoterms, and due dates prefilled.

Result: buyers move from document collection to quote comparison in one sitting.

Supported inputs

  • Supplier emails (EML/MSG copy or pasted text)
  • Packing lists & POs (PDF/PNG/JPG)
  • Mobile screenshots (WhatsApp, WeChat, etc.)

How it works

  1. OCR extracts text from PDFs/images.
  2. Parsing detects lanes, dims/weights, and shipment metadata.
  3. Prompting maps text to Logwo’s RFQ schema (fields you can edit).
  4. Review you confirm, tweak, and broadcast to vendors.

Example: transforming a packing list

// Extracted (simplified)
Origin: Shenzhen, CN
Destination: Dubai, AE
Packages: 12 cartons
Dims (cm): 60x40x35 each
Gross weight: 210 kg
Incoterms: EXW
Special: fragile

Becomes a prefilled RFQ with origin/destination, package count, average dims/weights, and a “fragile handling” flag vendors must acknowledge.

Improving accuracy

  • Prefer native PDFs over photos when possible.
  • Include unit labels (cm/kg) to avoid ambiguity.
  • Attach original docs — vendors can verify context.

Privacy & security

Documents are stored in tenant-scoped buckets. Access is time-limited via signed URLs. OCR output stays in your tenant; audit logs capture who uploaded and when.

What’s next

  • Template memory for recurring vendors
  • HS code hints from product descriptions
  • Bid form prefill for invited forwarders
