The AI revenue engine
for chemical distribution
From RFQ to shipment documents. CAS numbers, COAs, proforma invoices, LC tracking, landed cost calculations, dangerous goods declarations — one platform, not twelve spreadsheets.
CAS-matched quotes · LC-tracked shipments · COA auto-extracted. Built for how chemical distributors actually work.
Your sales rep wasn't hired to calculate anti-dumping duty.
An RFQ arrives for 5 metric tons of Melamine, CIF Mumbai, LC 90 days. Your rep opens the email. Then opens the ERP to check stock — by lot, because each lot has a different COA. Then opens a spreadsheet to calculate landed cost — CIF value times exchange rate, plus 7.5% BCD, plus 10% SWS, plus anti-dumping duty at $183.98 per MT from China, plus 18% IGST on the compounded base.
Then opens another spreadsheet to check if the customer's spec requires purity above 99.8% — Berger does, Asian Paints doesn't. Then drafts a proforma invoice with bank details and SWIFT code for the LC. Then tracks the LC expiry in a diary. Then generates a packing list with marks and numbers. Then finds the right COA PDF in an email folder from three months ago. Then checks the SDS version. Then generates an E-Way bill.
Four hours later, one quote is out.
QuickQuote does all of that in 12 seconds.
AI reads CAS numbers, not just part numbers.
Your customers send RFQs with CAS numbers, chemical names, abbreviations, grades, purity specs, Incoterms, and payment terms — all in one messy email. QuickQuote extracts every field, matches products by CAS number with 99% confidence, suggests the right lot using FEFO allocation, and validates against the customer's specific quality specs. Automatically.
Dear LOK team,
Please quote for the following:
CIF Mumbai. LC 90 days from BL date.
Delivery within 4 weeks.
Regards, Aniket Sharma
Procurement Manager, Berger Paints
CAS Number Matching
Products matched by CAS registry number, not just name. 99% confidence — 180,000+ chemical identifiers in our index.
Grade & Purity Validation
Never offer a lower grade than requested. AI enforces Food > USP > BP > Tech > Industrial hierarchy automatically.
Lot-Level FEFO Allocation
Suggests the lot expiring soonest that still meets the customer’s specific purity and moisture specs.
Chemical Abbreviation Understanding
MEG, TDI, IPDA, SLS, STPP, MDI, MEK — AI knows the full name, synonyms, and CAS for every trade abbreviation.
Every lot tracked. Every COA extracted. Every SDS versioned.
Supplier sends a COA PDF by email. QuickQuote's AI extracts every test parameter — purity, moisture, ash content, pH, heavy metals — validates against your product spec AND the customer's specific requirements, stamps it with your company verification, and links it to the lot. When you invoice, the right COAs attach automatically. When a customer asks 'do you have a COA for lot 042?' — the answer takes one click, not thirty minutes of searching email folders.
AI COA Extraction
Upload a PDF. AI extracts every test parameter, method, and result in seconds. No templates required.
Customer-Specific Spec Validation
Berger wants 99.8% purity. Asian Paints accepts 99.5%. One COA, two verdicts — both auto-validated.
SDS Version Control
New SDS version from supplier? System identifies every customer who bought that product and needs the update.
Compliance Gates
Quote blocked if the lot has no COA. Invoice blocked if SDS is missing. No exceptions, no drift.
Quote to PI to LC to invoice — no spreadsheet in between.
Electronics distributors go Quote \u2192 Invoice. Chemical distributors go Quote \u2192 Proforma Invoice \u2192 Purchase Order \u2192 Letter of Credit \u2192 Commercial Invoice \u2192 Packing List \u2192 Shipment. QuickQuote manages the entire chain. Your PI includes bank details and SWIFT codes. Your LC tracker counts down to expiry. Your document compliance checker tells you exactly which shipping documents are ready and which are missing.
14 Payment Terms
LC at sight, LC 90 days, TT advance, DA, DP, open account — every term your customers actually use.
LC Expiry Alerts
14-day warning. 7-day critical alert. Shipment-deadline countdown. No more missed LCs.
Document Compliance Checker
Cross-checks every document the LC requires. Flags what’s missing before you ship.
One-Click PI → Invoice
Convert PI to commercial invoice. Packing list auto-generates with marks, weights, and package counts.
Know your landed cost before you quote.
Import 5 MT of Melamine from China at $1,200/MT CIF Mumbai. What's the landed cost per kg in rupees? Your rep shouldn't need a spreadsheet to answer that. QuickQuote calculates the full cascade \u2014 CIF value, exchange rate, Basic Customs Duty, Social Welfare Surcharge, anti-dumping duty, IGST \u2014 and shows the per-kg landed cost instantly. Lock the exchange rate on the quote. Get margin alerts if the rate moves more than 2% before the customer accepts.
Same product from Thailand under ASEAN FTA avoids both BCD and anti-dumping duty.
Cascading Duty Calculation
BCD → SWS → ADD → IGST calculated on the compounded base, exactly how Indian customs does it.
Anti-Dumping Duty Lookup
Product + country combo checked automatically. $183.98/MT on Chinese Melamine. $535.89/MT on Chinese Citric Acid.
FTA Detection
Importing from Thailand? ASEAN FTA drops BCD to 0%. The system flags the savings versus China automatically.
Exchange Rate Locking
Lock the rate when you quote. If it moves more than 2% before acceptance, you get an alert.
One click. Every document. Ready to ship.
Chemical shipments need more than an invoice. Commercial invoice, packing list, COAs per lot, SDSs, DGD for hazardous cargo, e-way bill, certificate of origin — QuickQuote assembles the full shipment package from data you already entered. Attach-on-send, download-as-ZIP, IMDG-compliant.
Auto Packing List
Package counts, gross / net weight, marks & numbers computed from quote line items — never typed twice.
Dangerous Goods Declaration
UN number, class, packing group, and shipping name auto-populate from SDS section 14. IMDG-compliant, ready to sign.
Container Loading Calculator
Weight and volume tracked against 20ft / 40ft limits. Suggests consolidation when a container ships half-empty.
E-Way Bill with Hazard Info
GSTN-ready e-way bill generated on dispatch. Hazard class, UN number, and emergency contacts pre-filled for DG cargo.
Every customer has their own quality bible. Now it\u2019s enforced.
Berger Paints wants melamine purity ≥99.8% with iron ≤5 ppm. Asian Paints wants ≥99.9% with iron ≤3 ppm and particle size ≤60µm. Pidilite is happy with standard grade. QuickQuote stores every customer\u2019s spec profile, auto-validates incoming COAs against the right one, and refuses to route a lot that won\u2019t pass.

Per-Customer Profiles
Berger wants Iron ≤5 ppm. Asian Paints wants ≤3 ppm. Each profile stored, versioned, applied automatically.
Automatic Grade Routing
When a customer’s spec is tighter than standard, AI routes the right lot — never ships under-grade.
Extra Parameters Tracked
Bulk density, particle size, heavy metals — fields you don’t publish but one customer cares about, captured per profile.
Incoming COAs Auto-Validated
Each inbound COA is checked against every active customer profile the lot might ship to — before you quote.
Platform
Plus everything your sales team already needs.
Chemical-specific workflows sit on top of the full QuickQuote platform. Pipeline tracking, competitor alerts, field operations, GST compliance — all included.
Your CRM. Your ERP. And every government portal chemicals actually need.
Keep Tally for books. Keep Zoho for CRM. QuickQuote syncs both ways. On top of that, we talk to ICEGATE for BOE filings, GST Portal for invoice validation, CBIC for anti-dumping notifications, and RBI EDPMS for export realisation — the systems every chemical distributor files to but nobody built integrations for.

India's $220B chemical industry still runs on email, Excel and WhatsApp.
We spoke to 40+ distributors across Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi and Bangalore. Every one told the same story — orders lost to CAS confusion, margin lost to missed duty changes, nights lost to chasing COAs across WhatsApp groups. QuickQuote is the operating system that belongs on top of this workflow.
You don't need another CRM. You need software that speaks CAS numbers, HSN codes, and LC terms — the language you actually run your business in.
Your competitors are still searching email folders for COAs.
