AI Product Matching Platform for Smarter Quotation Management- Ditto
Ditto is an AI-powered product matching and quotation platform designed for businesses with large, complex product catalogues.
It understands customer requirements from RFQs, emails, text, images, spreadsheets, PDFs and other business documents, identifies the most relevant products within your catalogue, and helps sales teams move from customer requirement to validated product selection and quotation faster.
Instead of spending hours searching catalogues, comparing specifications and preparing quotations manually, Ditto creates a continuous workflow from requirement capture → product matching → validation → quotation.
Your team remains in control at every critical decision point, with final product selection and pricing determined by the user.
What Is Ditto?
Ditto is an AI product matching and quoting platform built for organisations that manage extensive or complex product catalogues.
Customer enquiries are rarely presented in a perfectly structured format. An RFQ may contain product descriptions, specifications and quantities. A customer may send an image instead of a part number. An email may describe a requirement using terminology that differs from your catalogue.
Ditto interprets these different inputs, identifies the relevant product requirements and searches your catalogue for suitable matches.
Once candidate products are identified, your team can review and validate the recommendations before proceeding with quotation preparation.

This helps sales and quotation teams reduce repetitive catalogue searches and focus more time on customer engagement and commercial activities.
Why Businesses Need AI Product Matching?
For businesses with thousands of products, variants and specifications, finding the right product for a customer request can become a major sales administration task.
Customers may not provide a manufacturer part number. They may use informal terminology, incomplete descriptions or product images.
Sales teams may then need to:
- Read through RFQs and customer correspondence
- Identify product specifications and quantities
- Search extensive product catalogues
- Compare product variants
- Identify products from images
- Validate potential matches
- Prepare quotations manually
As catalogue complexity and enquiry volumes increase, these activities can slow down the quotation process.
Ditto uses AI to help transform this process into a structured product-matching and quotation workflow.
Understand Customer Requirements Automatically
Turn RFQs and Customer Documents Into Product Requirements
Ditto can interpret customer requirements submitted through multiple formats, including:
- Requests for quotation (RFQs)
- Emails and correspondence
- Text
- PDF documents
- Spreadsheets
- Product images
- Other business documents
The platform extracts relevant products, specifications and quantities from submitted information, helping sales teams move from unstructured customer requests toward actionable product requirements.
This is particularly useful when customers describe what they need without providing an exact manufacturer part number or catalogue reference.
AI Product Matching Against Your Catalogue
Find Relevant Products Across Large Catalogues
Searching a large product catalogue manually can be difficult when it contains numerous products, variants and specifications.
Ditto interprets the customer’s description and requirements and compares them against the organisation’s catalogue to identify relevant products.
Intelligent Catalogue Search
Ditto can:
- Understand customer product descriptions
- Interpret specifications and requirements
- Identify relevant catalogue products
- Search extensive product catalogues
- Return the most relevant product candidates
- Support product selection through user validation
Rather than requiring sales personnel to know exactly where a product sits within a large catalogue, Ditto helps surface relevant options based on the customer’s stated requirement.
Match Products From Images
Identify Products Even When Customers Don’t Provide Part Numbers
Customers do not always send a product description or part number.
Sometimes, the only available information is a photograph of the product.
Ditto provides visual product intelligence that can identify products from images and retrieve comparable products from the organisation’s catalogue.
This creates an additional route from customer enquiry to product identification.
Visual Product Matching
Customer Image → AI Product Identification → Catalogue Search → Relevant Product Candidates → User Validation
This capability can be particularly valuable for businesses dealing with spare parts, industrial components, electrical products, mechanical products and other visually identifiable catalogue items.
Search Large Product Catalogues Faster
Product Intelligence for Complex Catalogues
Large catalogues can contain extensive product ranges, variants and technical specifications.
Traditional catalogue searches often depend on knowing the exact product name, part number or terminology used by the organisation.
Ditto helps bridge the gap between customer language and catalogue language.
It interprets the customer’s stated requirement and searches across the catalogue to identify relevant products.
Built for Catalogue-Heavy Businesses
Ditto is designed for organisations where:
- Product catalogues are extensive
- Product variants are numerous
- Customer terminology differs from catalogue terminology
- Product identification requires technical understanding
- Sales teams receive frequent RFQs
- Quotation preparation creates a significant administrative workload
Consistent Product Selection With Human Validation
AI Recommendations With Your Team in Control
Product selection is an important commercial decision.
Ditto does not remove the user’s authority over the final selection. Instead, it presents candidate product matches for review and validation.
Your team can evaluate the recommendations before confirming the products to be included in the quotation.
Human-in-the-Loop Product Matching
Ditto helps with the research and matching process while keeping final authority with the user.
AI identifies potential matches.
Your team validates the selection.
Your business determines the final product and price.
This approach combines AI-assisted product intelligence with human commercial judgement.
Move From Product Matching to Quotation Faster
Accelerate the Search-to-Quote Workflow
Finding the right product is only one part of the sales process.
Once products and quantities have been identified and validated, the next task is preparing the quotation.
Ditto helps accelerate this stage by producing the quotation from the validated product selections and commercial data.
This creates a continuous workflow from customer requirement to quotation rather than treating product search and quotation preparation as separate manual activities.

Turn Customer Language Into Catalogue Intelligence
One of the biggest challenges in product sales is the difference between how customers describe a requirement and how products are represented in a catalogue.
A customer may describe what they need using:
- A functional requirement
- A specification
- An informal product description
- A technical characteristic
- A quantity
- A product photograph
- A combination of several requirements
Ditto interprets these inputs and searches the catalogue for corresponding products.
Customer Language
“I need this type of product with these specifications.”

AI-Assisted Product Matching Without Losing Business Control
Automation is most useful when it accelerates work without removing the people responsible for commercial decisions.
Ditto is designed around this principle.
The platform can identify and recommend candidate products, but final product selection and pricing remain with the user.
Autonomous approval of quotations and autonomous order placement are outside the product’s stated scope.
This gives businesses the opportunity to use AI for high-volume search and matching while retaining human oversight over commercially important decisions.
