AI SpecMatch

AI SpecMatch is an Azure-based agentic AI solution for industrial quote-to-order operations. It helps application engineering and sales operations teams automate the most manual parts of product comparison: competitor cross-reference, legacy and obsolete SKU substitution, sizing validation, and head-to-head bid response. The agent works inside the Oracle CPQ workspace that many application engineers already use. It parses inbound RFQs, customer datasheets, scanned nameplate photos, and free-text emails; extracts service conditions, mechanical requirements, materials, certifications, and performance attributes; queries a governed cross-reference knowledge graph; validates recommendations through brand-native sizing engines; and configures the recommended product in CPQ for human approval. rSTAR deploys the solution into the customer Azure tenant, configures the Oracle CPQ, ERP, CRM, document intake, and sizing engine integrations, loads and extends the knowledge graph, and launches a controlled Crawl / Walk / Run adoption path. The result is faster quote turnaround, reduced manual re-entry, better application engineering capacity, and a durable way to preserve expert substitution knowledge before it leaves the organization.
