Europe · Las Palmas
Tidal automates the entire RFQ workflow for ship chandlers and suppliers serving vessels at Las Palmas. Email to quote in under 30 minutes, no manual entry, no missed margins.
The Market
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria sits in the mid-Atlantic off the northwest coast of Africa, one of the busiest supply and bunkering ports in the Atlantic. It is a natural waypoint for vessels crossing between Europe, Africa and the Americas, and a long-standing base for fishing fleets, offshore and oil-and-gas support vessels, cruise ships and container traffic. With so many vessels calling for stores, spares and bunkers, chandlers here compete on how fast they can turn an RFQ around.

The Platform
Tidal is an AI-native RFQ automation platform built specifically for ship chandlers. It automates the full RFQ-to-profit cycle, from email inbox through quote generation, confirmed orders, purchase orders, vendor invoice reconciliation, and P&L reporting. Designed for high-volume chandling where a single RFQ can carry 800+ line items and night and weekend arrivals are routine, Tidal responds to every RFQ, even the 2am vessel arrival, before your competitor's team reaches the office.
AI RFQ Extraction
Reads incoming RFQs from email, PDF, Excel, or plain text, and extracts every line item automatically. No manual copy-paste.
IMPA / ISSA Matching
Matches items to catalogue codes at 90%+ accuracy. Handles 800+ line item RFQs in under 30 minutes, the same time manual teams spend reading the email.
Margin Protection
Your pricing rules and client-specific tiers are applied automatically. Zero pricing errors since go-live across all Tidal customers.
Full P&L Visibility
Confirmed orders, PO generation, vendor invoice reconciliation, and profit reporting per RFQ and per vessel. Complete financial visibility at the transaction level.
Port Context
The Port of Las Palmas handles bunkering, ship repair, fishing-fleet supply, offshore support and cruise calls, helped by a strategic position on the main Atlantic crossing routes. Primary vessel types include fishing vessels, offshore support vessels, tankers, container ships and cruise ships. Competition among ship chandlers and suppliers is intense, and the speed and accuracy of quoting decide who wins the order.
