What Avent does
Avent builds AI agents for industrial commerce, aimed at distributors and suppliers. The platform automates manual processes such as quoting and order entry, working alongside existing ERP systems rather than replacing them. It aggregates data, captures pricing logic, and uses document understanding to generate quotes and validate orders.

Who it's for
Avent targets industrial distributors and suppliers looking to speed up order processing and customer communication. Its differentiation in the AI agents category is a modular, non-disruptive approach that turns institutional knowledge into automation, taking requests from RFQ to quote quickly while running around the clock. The platform is described as built by operators for operators.
