Two AI-driven approaches to ship-supply RFQ automation. Here is how they compare, on the facts.
Supply Logic (Supply Logic Pte. Ltd., Singapore, founded 2019) is cloud software for ship suppliers built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Its "Supply Logic 365" range includes an "Auto Bot 365" that receives and translates RFQs from email, Excel, Word and PDF, which the company advertises as at least 20 times faster with 99% extraction accuracy, alongside AI stock control and vendor comparison. Tidal is also AI-native, focused on reading email RFQs and producing margin-protected quotes with item-code matching to your own catalogue.
Both automate RFQ processing, so the useful differences are in code matching, integrations, deployment model and pricing transparency.

|---|---|---|
| Category | AI software that turns email RFQs into margin-protected quotes | AI ship-supply software on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central |

| ERP model | Standalone, or integrates with ShipNet and Bassnet | Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central |

| Maturity | Newer, focused platform | Founded 2019, Singapore |

Competitor details reflect publicly available information at the time of writing; "Not publicly disclosed" means the vendor does not publish that detail. Nothing here is a guess.
Supply Logic will appeal to teams that want their RFQ automation inside a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP, with warehouse, financials and procurement modules in one Dynamics-based stack.
Tidal will appeal to teams that want RFQ-to-quote automation that runs standalone from day one, matches items to your own catalogue codes, and integrates with ShipNet and Bassnet if and when you want it, at a price published up front.
Both companies are relatively young and AI-native, and Supply Logic publicly advertises strong extraction speed and accuracy figures for its Auto Bot. We have not independently tested either vendor's accuracy claims, so treat all advertised figures, including Tidal's, as vendor statements to verify in a demo on your own RFQs. Where Supply Logic does not publicly state item-code matching to your own catalogue, that is noted as not disclosed rather than assumed absent.
