Quotes and orders, done before you hang up the phone.

Today a customer emails you: "We need 12 of the ½-inch brass fittings, 8 check valves, and a quote on 50 feet of ¾ copper."

To respond, someone has to open Outlook. Then the ERP. Next they have to look up the customer number, search for the first product, enter the quantity, search for the next, check inventory, check pricing, build the quote, submit, then flip back to Outlook to reply.

Fifteen minutes. For one email.

And if your team is handling fifty of those a day, that's hours of skilled labor spent on pure data entry, before you even factor in the mistakes that come with doing it manually at volume.

That's a significant slice of your headcount doing nothing but reading requests and typing them into a system. It's slow, it's expensive, and it's error-prone. But it's been the cost of doing business in distribution. Until now.

Proton reads incoming requests across any channel, matches the products to your catalog, and builds the quote or order automatically. Your team just has to review and approve, and then it's in the ERP.

The whole thing takes under a minute, with no manual entry required.

Margins in distribution are thin. Labor costs aren't. This is one of the fastest ways to close that gap.
