Automate RFQ follow-ups to keep
sourcing on track
Monitoring supplier RFQ responses manually slows sourcing and leaves teams chasing updates. Kavida’s agent tracks supplier replies, detects delays, and automatically follows up using your email identity — keeping RFQs on schedule.
Manually chasing supplier responses delays your entire sourcing cycle
Late/missing supplier responses
Suppliers often miss RFQ deadlines, forcing teams to chase updates and push back sourcing timelines.
Time wasted on follow-ups
Buyers spend hours tracking RFQs, drafting reminder emails and checking inboxes for responses.
Incomplete submissions
Missing attachments or incomplete quotes slip through, creating rework and compliance gaps later.
Agent PO monitors every outgoing RFQ, tracks supplier replies, and automatically drafts tailored follow-up emails for overdue or incomplete responses.
Tracks which suppliers have replied, and which haven’t, based on your RFQ deadlines.
Drafts reminders at a predefined cadence — personalised, professional, and perfectly timed. You can also enable full automation for these to send without review.
Detects missing documents like specs or certificates and drafts contextual requests for suppliers to resend.
