Maritime quote-to-cash

Maritime quote-to-cash, run by AI

Quote-to-cash is the whole job: an RFQ comes in, a quote goes out, an order is placed, it is delivered and it is invoiced. When each step lives in a different tool, margin leaks in the gaps. Tidal runs the whole cycle on one set of coded, priced lines.

Maritime quote-to-cash is the full cycle from inbound RFQ to received payment: quoting, ordering, delivery and invoicing. Tidal runs the whole cycle on one set of catalogue-matched, margin-protected lines, so nothing is re-keyed between steps and the margin you quote is the margin you bill.

One thread from RFQ to cash

Tidal reads the inbound RFQ, returns a margin-protected quote, generates the purchase orders on approval, and carries the order to a reconciled invoice, all from the same coded lines. Nothing is re-keyed between quoting and cash, so the margin you quoted is the margin you bill.

Coded, priced and margin-protected at every step

Every line keeps its and code, cost, margin and quantity from quote to invoice. Discrepancies at delivery or invoicing are flagged against the original quote, so leakage is caught rather than absorbed.

Frequently asked questions

What is maritime quote-to-cash?
Quote-to-cash is the full cycle from inbound RFQ to received payment: quoting, ordering, delivery and invoicing. Tidal runs the whole cycle on one set of catalogue-matched, margin-protected lines, so nothing is re-keyed between steps.
How is this different from an ERP?
A legacy ERP holds the data but leaves the slow parts, quoting and reconciliation, to people and spreadsheets. Tidal automates the quote-to-cash workflow AI-first and can run as your system of record or alongside a finance ERP.
Where does margin usually leak in quote-to-cash?
In the gaps: a quote re-keyed into an order, a short delivery not reflected on the invoice, a stale cost. Because Tidal keeps one coded, priced line from RFQ to invoice, those gaps are flagged instead of absorbed.
How fast can we go live and what does it cost?
Most suppliers are live in about one week.
