Industrial Distribution & MRO

Turn every inquiry into revenue.

Lily is InstaLILY's AI Forward Deployed Engineer for distributors. She learns your pricing, product data, branch rules, and approval logic, then deploys AI agents that turn fragmented leads - email, PDF, fax, voicemail - into clean insights, talking points, and quote-ready follow-ups inside the systems you already use.

Not a copilot. Not another system of record. AI that executes the work.

The problem today

Revenue leaks while reps do admin.

  • Every unanswered email and slow quote is lost revenue - and volume scales faster than headcount.
  • SKU and pricing complexity makes accurate quoting slow and error-prone.
  • PO processing, order entry, and case handling eat rep hours that should go to selling.
  • Margin and cross-sell opportunities sit buried in the data, unseen.
