Pentagon 2000 and ePlane AI Team Up to Eliminate Manual RFQ Entry
July 22, 2025
In today’s aviation landscape, where turnaround time can dictate revenue, the quoting process remains surprisingly manual.
For many aerospace suppliers, the first step in responding to a parts request still involves digging through emails, copying data into spreadsheets, and re-entering that information into their ERP system. This is all before a quote can even be generated.
That changes with a new integration from Pentagon 2000 and ePlane AI.
Announced today, the partnership aims to solve one of the most entrenched inefficiencies in aerospace operations: the manual handoff between incoming RFQs and ERP-based quoting workflows.
The integration embeds ePlane AI’s automation directly into the Pentagon 2000 ERP system, eliminating the need to rekey data and helping aviation teams quote faster, with greater accuracy.
From Inbox to ERP, No Copy-Paste Required
Instead of relying on manual processes, suppliers can now:
- Automatically extract key RFQ details like part numbers, quantities, and urgency
- Feed structured data directly into the Pentagon 2000 ERP platform
- Accelerate quote creation, especially for AOG and other time-sensitive scenarios
The goal? Streamline response time without forcing a change in how teams work.
“Manual RFQ entry is one of the most stubborn inefficiencies across aviation parts supply chains,” said Yuval Yatskan, CEO of ePlane AI. “Our goal with Pentagon 2000 was clear: turn hours of tedious data entry into real-time extraction of RFQ data from incoming emails, directly into the ERP. When suppliers can respond faster, they win more deals, drive more revenue, and increase customer satisfaction.”
Gabriel Mofaz, President & CEO of Pentagon 2000, added: “For nearly 40 years, Pentagon 2000 has built ERP solutions tailored to aerospace operations. Partnering with ePlane AI allows us to embed modern AI-driven automation directly into our workflows. The result is significant time savings for our customers without forcing them to change their established processes.”
Why Our Partnership Matters
With thousands of quotes initiated via email every week, even small gains in quoting speed can yield big results. Faster response times not only improve win rates but also free up sales and operations staff to focus on value-added work, not inbox triage.
This integration comes at a pivotal time for aviation suppliers, many of whom are juggling aging fleets, increased AOG events, and limited headcount. Solutions that increase quoting capacity without additional hiring can unlock measurable gains across revenue and customer experience.
The joint solution is currently in beta with select Pentagon 2000 customers. A broader rollout is planned into Q3 2025.
