Avent is the inside-sales layer for industrial distributors and manufacturers whose customer requests still arrive as messy emails, faxes and calls. It searches product and pricing knowledge, prepares quotes and turns a purchase order into an order in the existing ERP instead of asking a sales rep to re-key the work.

The [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/avent) says Avent watches the channels where requests arrive. For a quote, it finds the matching product and pricing and prepares the response. When a customer sends a purchase order, Avent matches it to the earlier quote and enters the sales order into the company’s ledger. The company also describes a procurement path for out-of-stock items, finding a cost through in-network distributors before quoting.
