Tidal automates the entire RFQ workflow for ship chandlers serving the Port of Valencia. Email to quote in under 30 minutes — no manual entry, no missed margins.
The Market
The Port of Valencia is one of the busiest container ports in the Mediterranean and the leading port on Spain's Mediterranean coast. Mainline container vessels and feeders call in volume for cargo, stores and provisions, and ship chandlers there compete on how fast they can quote. The first complete, accurately coded response wins the order — and Tidal makes that chandler you.

The Platform
Tidal is an AI-native RFQ automation platform built specifically for ship chandlers. It automates the full RFQ-to-profit cycle — from email inbox through quote generation, confirmed orders, purchase orders, vendor invoice reconciliation, and P&L reporting. Designed for high-volume chandling where a single RFQ can carry 800+ line items and night/weekend arrivals are routine. Tidal's 24/7 automated processing means your operation responds to every RFQ — even the 2am vessel arrival — before your competitor's team arrives at the office..
AI RFQ Extraction
Reads incoming RFQs from email — PDF, Excel, or plain text — and extracts every line item automatically. No manual copy-paste.
IMPA / ISSA Matching
Matches items to catalogue codes at 90%+ accuracy. Handles 800+ line item RFQs in under 30 minutes — the same time manual teams spend reading the email.
Margin Protection
Your pricing rules and client-specific tiers are applied automatically. Zero pricing errors since go-live across all Tidal customers.
Full P&L Visibility
Confirmed orders, PO generation, vendor invoice reconciliation, and profit reporting per RFQ and per vessel. Complete financial visibility at the transaction level.
