Metal Networks

Metal Networks is an AI-powered B2B software platform that helps industrial suppliers digitize their quoting and procurement processes. It focuses on product taxonomy and catalog search, using AI to match messy product data from suppliers with buyer requests. The platform also automates the request-for-quote (RFQ) workflow and provides a configure-price-quote (CPQ) tool for inside sales teams. The goal is to reduce the manual effort that currently slows down B2B transactions, where procurement can take nearly a month and sales teams spend over 11 hours per week hunting for product information.

The platform includes three main products. JAQi AI is the core engine that translates, searches, and matches B2B products and industrial materials against backend catalogs. The RFQ module speeds up the entire quoting process, letting buyers submit requests and suppliers respond with minimal manual data entry. The CPQ tool helps sales teams configure products, set prices, and generate quotes on the fly. Metal Networks also provides ROI calculators so customers can estimate time and cost savings before committing to the platform. The system is designed to integrate with existing ERP and eCommerce systems rather than replace them.

Metal Networks is built for wholesalers, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, procurement buyers, and software integrators in industrial markets. It's most useful for companies that deal with complex product catalogs full of abbreviations and non-standard descriptions. Procurement teams can cut down on manual sourcing time, while sales teams can respond to RFQs faster and with fewer errors. E-commerce managers can use the AI search to improve the customer experience on their digital storefronts. The platform is subscription-based and focuses on helping B2B companies make the shift to digital without overhauling their entire tech stack.
