Models for firms

In most trading and supply companies, the real operation lives in an inbox, a few spreadsheets and the memory of two or three people. A request arrives, someone hunts for prices, someone chases suppliers, someone types the quotation — and when one of them is busy, the deal waits.

FirModel builds models for firms: complete systems that take on that daily work and run it with AI, while the people who own the business keep every decision that matters. Each model runs one part of the business from start to finish. The first, Rafid, handles sourcing and quotations.

Rafid was built inside a working trading company, on real requests. Before we offered it to anyone else, it was run through more than 1,600 end-to-end scenarios and nearly 2,000 automated tests. Every error found goes back to be fixed and tested again, and nothing is released until it passes.

Where the time goes

  • Requests lost in the inbox

    A request for quotation sits between newsletters and replies. By the time someone opens the attachment, the customer has asked someone else.

  • Hours spent on prices

    Finding who makes the part, who sells it nearby and at what price means tabs, calls and guesswork, for every item on every request.

  • Quotations and follow-ups by hand

    Copying items into a template, adding margin and freight, sending, then remembering to follow up. Every step is manual, and every step can slip.

The world is running. With Rafid, so are you.

Businesses everywhere lean more on technology every year. Instead of spending your days pricing requests and hunting for suppliers, let Rafid coordinate the work between your customers and your suppliers.

It builds your data as you work, keeps it safe, and tells you who you dealt with and when. When you correct Awn, it writes down the lesson and, once you confirm it, applies it from then on. When a deal is lost, Rafid asks you why and keeps the answer in that customer's history, and Awn reads it before the next quotation.

Rafid remembers

  • Every request, with its dates
  • Every price each supplier gave you, and when
  • Every part and every line you have priced
  • Who you dealt with, and when

That is effort, time and money back from work that returned too little.

One platform, a model for each part of the business

Each model is a complete system run by AI. Start with Rafid today; the next two are on the way.

How Rafid works

Six steps, from the request in your inbox to the purchase order in your records.

  1. The request arrives

    A customer's request for quotation arrives by email. Rafid reads it in any format — email text, PDF, Excel, Word or images — identifies the customer and registers the request with its items.

  2. Rafid finds the price

    First what you already know: past prices and your own suppliers. Then linked platforms, such as eBay in 12 markets and Farnell. Then the wider web in more than ten languages, reaching for the source: the manufacturer, its authorized distributors and the nearest regional office.

  3. Suppliers are asked

    Rafid prepares and sends requests for quotation to suppliers, follows up, and reads their replies and offers in any format.

  4. You compare and choose

    Prices sit side by side: the cheapest, and the closest to the source. You choose, and Rafid builds the quotation with your margin and freight, including air and sea estimates.

  5. The quotation goes out

    On your company letterhead with your stamp: by email from your own mailbox, or as a stamped PDF you share through any app.

  6. Nothing is forgotten

    Follow-ups, purchase orders and collections are tracked, so every request reaches its end.

Built for the way trading companies work

  • Source-first pricing

    Rafid looks for the manufacturer, its authorized distributors and the nearest regional office before resellers.

  • Linked platforms

    Prices from connected platforms, such as eBay in 12 markets and Farnell, next to your own suppliers.

  • Search in 10+ languages

    Rafid searches the web in more than ten languages, so a supplier in Germany, Turkey or China is within reach.

  • Supplier offers in any format

    Replies in email text, PDF, Excel, Word or images are read and placed side by side.

  • Freight estimates

    Air and sea freight estimates go into the quotation, using the supplier's own figure when it gives one.

  • Quotations on your letterhead

    Your letterhead and your stamp, sent from your mailbox or shared as a stamped PDF.

  • Arabic and English

    Quotations and letters in Arabic or English, and requests read in either. The full English interface comes with launch. Part numbers, brands and company names stay exactly as they are.

  • Android app
