Beyond Speed: Why iRFQ Is the Only Quoting System That Closes the Loop
Published 5 days ago • 4 min read
Lesson One
Quoting Alone Isn’t Enough — Why iRFQ Wins (and the Other Guys Can’t Keep Up)
Quoting isn’t just about speed. It’s about intelligence, compliance, and closing power. ERP.Aero’s iRFQ isn’t a quoting tool. It’s the quoting system aviation has been missing — until now.
TL;DR
Still quoting from email threads? Still checking margins in spreadsheets? Still chasing certs and attachments manually?
The other guys help you respond. ERP.Aero helps you win and overcome email parsing obsolescence.
✅ Quotes that build themselves
✅ Compliance, freight, and inventory already embedded
✅ No parsing. No bolt-ons. No syncing. Just results.
The Other Guys Built a Tool. ERP.Aero Built a Platform.
The market is full of fast-response quoting apps — but fast alone isn’t enough. You don’t just need to reply to RFQs. You need to quote intelligently, completely, and operationally.
The other guys?
They’re not ERPs. They’re quoting shells.
No inventory sync
No vendor logic
No freight automation
No PO generation
No compliance trace
What you get is a quote that’s fast (ish)… but fragile.
Watch quotes build themselves — while the other guys are still parsing emails.
The others reply.
You win.
Built with Purpose, Proven in the Field
At ERP.Aero, we didn’t set out to make quoting faster. We set out to make it right.
Because we’ve seen what happens when teams are forced to work across disconnected systems — when quoting lives in inboxes, compliance is tracked in folders, and inventory is verified with fingers crossed.
It doesn’t scale. It doesn't protect margin. And over time, it wears down your people and your profit.
That’s why we built iRFQ as more than a quoting tool.
We built it as a system of truth — fully embedded, aviation-native, and designed to support the entire RFQ lifecycle. What you quote should match what you can deliver and what you send should be auditable and compliant from the start. And every RFQ should be an opportunity to move faster, respond smarter, and close with confidence.
That’s what iRFQ gives you — and why teams that switch to it don’t go back.
If you’re still quoting with patchwork tools, plugins, 3rd-party services, it’s not your fault.
But it’s now your opportunity.
We invite you to see what quoting looks like when it’s finally built on solid ground.
Aviation moves fast—and, so does life. That’s why your ERP should be keeping up, not holding you back. At ERP.Aero, we’re all about cutting through the clutter: lightning-fast RFQs, no data fees, and real support whenever you need it—day or night. No wasted time. No busywork. Just smart, built-for-aviation tools that help you stay ahead and scale with confidence. Because every second really does count. Let’s make sure your ERP isn’t slowing you down.

Ralph Merhi April 26 Faster Quotes, Smarter Ops, and a More Connected Future ↓ TL;DR ERP.Aero isn’t just transforming quoting — it’s quietly building aviation’s first real-time business network. Faster quotes, fewer clicks, and full inventory visibility are just the start. As more companies connect, RFQs auto-trigger, quotes arrive pre-filled, and POs flow system to system — no emails, no delays, no nonsense. It’s not a marketplace. It’s a movement. An aviation first solution — where...
This is what it looks like when an entire industry finally gets the system it’s always needed. Built for reality — not theory. The outcome? Speed you can feel. Control you can trust. Visibility that matters. And finally, an end to the ERP mess that’s slowed aviation for two decades. This article is a little long, but rather than break it up, or turn it into a simple marketing piece, I wanted to tell the whole story. I hope you find it useful, and I appreciate you reading it.

Lesson One When the Truck Rolled Downhill: Hype, Illusion, and the Real Future of Aviation ERP A slick demo. A confident pitch. A shiny new platform that says it’ll change the game. That was the story behind Nikola—the EV truck company that looked like the future. Until it rolled a truck downhill to fake a product launch. Hype turned to headlines. Innovation gave way to illusion. In the aviation ERP world, we’re watching the same thing happen again. Promises of “AI-powered that,” “fully...
