Turn Your Website Traffic Into Qualified RFQs
Engineers sourcing a component don't wait for your sales engineers to answer their questions. ZipTier puts an AI Sales Rep on your website 24/7 that answers spec, compatibility, lead time, and MOQ questions from your catalogs and datasheets, captures the application and volume, scores the lead, and routes the buyer to your goal, from an RFQ to a call with a sales engineer.
Embed ZipTier as a search bar, button or a link, anywhere on your site.
Buyers Research Deep and Identify Late
Engineers and procurement teams evaluate suppliers anonymously, around the clock, across continents. ZipTier answers from your published documentation, captures application and volume, and turns a 3am question from Frankfurt into an RFQ by your 9am.
- Answers from your technical documentation. ZipTier answers only from your catalogs, datasheets, spec PDFs and product pages, so specs, ratings and lead times come from your record, never invented.
- Qualifies application and volume. It picks up use case, quantity, timeline and region from the conversation, and combines them with captured lead data to score the lead on rules you set.
- Captures the buyer when intent is high. No gated datasheet form. It asks for contact details once the conversation shows real buying intent, so engineers keep researching instead of leaving.
- Routes to an RFQ or a sales engineer. A quote request or your calendar opens inside the chat. The conversation, application and volume flow to your team and HubSpot, so the quote starts scoped.
Results that speak for themselves
“I'm really impressed with ZipTier! As someone managing B2B paid advertising accounts and obsessed with increasing website conversion rates, ZipTier provides a great set of tools and functions to squeeze more out of the traffic my clients are already getting. I just told a client today they need it and they were excited to test it!”
Three Problems Endemic to Industrial B2B
These gaps quietly eliminate you from shortlists you never knew you were on.
Buyers research deep and identify late
Engineers and procurement teams do most of the evaluation anonymously across supplier sites. If your documentation can't answer their questions, you're eliminated without ever knowing you were considered.
Technical questions bottleneck on scarce experts
The people who can answer spec questions are your sales engineers: expensive, few, and busy. Simple pre-RFQ questions queue for days behind quotes in flight.
Global demand, single-time-zone sales
Distributors and OEM buyers across continents hit your catalog around the clock. A question from Frankfurt at 3am your time is a PO that lands with a competitor by your 9am.
The Research Is Clear: Self-Service Wins the Shortlist
Independent research on industrial buying shows why an always-on technical assistant on your catalog is where RFQs are won or lost.
Of B2B buyers prefer a rep-free buying experience, up from 61% a year earlier. Most of the evaluation happens before a supplier hears from them.
A building-products manufacturer's conversational tools reached 31.5% engagement and drove a 233% uplift in conversions over twelve months.
Industrial buyers rank detailed technical content as the top supplier-selection factor.
Of the buying process is complete before an industrial buyer contacts a supplier. If your documentation cannot answer them, you are cut before you know you were considered.
Industrial buyers self-serve their evaluation and rank technical content above everything else. ZipTier answers from your published documentation only, in any time zone.
Guiding Buyers From Spec Sheet to RFQ
ZipTier supports engineers and procurement at every stage of sourcing, and captures application, volume, and region before a sales engineer spends an hour.
“Does it fit my application?”
Answer spec and compatibility questions from your published documentation, never invented.
- What are the exact specs and tolerances for [product]?
- Is it compatible with [material / system / standard]?
- Is it rated or certified for [IP67, UL, CE, RoHS]?
- Do you have CAD files or datasheets I can download?
- Can it be customized to our requirements?
“Can you supply it?”
Handle lead time, MOQ, and logistics questions in any time zone.
- What are current lead times?
- What are your minimum order quantities?
- Do you ship internationally or have local distributors?
- What is your quality certification (ISO 9001)?
- Do you offer volume pricing tiers?
“Send me the quote”
Route to RFQ or a sales engineer, with application and volume already scoped.
- How do I submit an RFQ?
- Can I get a sample or prototype run?
- Can I speak with a sales engineer about my application?
- What payment and Incoterms do you support?
- Can you quote 500 / 5,000 / 50,000 units?
Everything You Need to Turn Research Into RFQs

Feed It Your Catalogs and Datasheets
Catalogs, datasheets, and spec PDFs. Manufacturers are documentation-rich and chat-poor; ZipTier closes that gap.

Route to RFQ or Sales Engineer
The CTA is a quote request as often as a meeting. Both land scoped.

Any Time Zone, Any Shift
A 3am question from Frankfurt gets a documented answer before your sales desk opens.
Distributor and MOQ Routing
Direct, distributor or reseller, and whether the volume clears your minimum, sorted before a quote is built.
See Which Parts Get Specified
Which products, certifications and applications buyers ask about, straight from your catalog traffic.
Into HubSpot or Your Quoting Workflow
Scoped RFQs sync to HubSpot natively, or export as CSV for your quoting workflow, with application, volume and region already captured.
Capture at Trade Shows
A QR on the stand and in the printed catalog turns booth traffic into scoped RFQs.
The Lead Arrives With the Application
Your sales engineer opens one record and already knows the part, the application, the volume and the region, before the first call or an hour spent building a quote.
Food-grade washdown at 1,200 units a year, well clear of the MOQ. Read from the conversation itself, so this buyer lands as High before anyone picks up the phone.
IP69K, NSF H1 lubricant and a 6–8 week lead time, all from published documentation, never invented. A rating a bot guessed wrong is a liability, and engineers check.
Nineteen minutes of reading across two days from a buyer six time zones out. Your sales desk was closed for much of it.
Over three minutes on the certifications page. Your sales engineer joins the call already knowing what this line has to pass.
Frequently Asked Questions
What manufacturers and industrial suppliers want to know before putting an AI assistant in front of their buyers.
What does ZipTier do for a manufacturer?
ZipTier answers engineers and procurement teams from your own catalogs, spec sheets, and technical documentation, in any time zone. It also captures application, volume, and region, and routes the buyer to an RFQ or a sales engineer.
Can ZipTier answer spec, tolerance, and certification questions from our datasheets?
Yes, but only from what you give it. You can upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, TXT, JPG, and PNG files, and ZipTier answers from that content rather than from the open internet, so it does not invent specs, ratings, or lead times.
What happens when a buyer asks something our documentation does not cover?
The assistant answers only from your knowledge base, so it will not guess a figure. The Knowledge Base Gaps panel lists each question it could not fully answer, so you can add the missing content and cover it next time.
How does ZipTier qualify industrial leads and hand them to sales engineers?
It captures use case, quantity, timeline, and region during the conversation, and scores each lead High, Medium, or Low. The lead record includes a chat summary and detected intent signals, so the quote starts scoped.
Can the call to action be a quote request instead of a meeting?
Yes. In industrial B2B the conversion event is often an RFQ, so the call to action can be a quote request as easily as a meeting. If you want meetings too, ZipTier can open a Calendly or Google Calendar scheduler inside the chat.
Does ZipTier work with HubSpot and our quoting workflow?
Yes. ZipTier syncs leads to HubSpot natively on every plan, creating or updating a contact with the conversation summary attached. For any other CRM or quoting tool, you can export leads as CSV.
How long does setup take, and what does it cost?
Most teams launch their first assistant in under 10 minutes with no coding, using a three-step wizard and a single script tag on your site. The Free plan costs $0, needs no credit card, and includes 20 AI conversations a month.
