Atira develops an AI sales engineering platform that helps industrial companies process complex RFQs, configure solutions and generate bid documentation and proposals.
Atira, the AI‑driven sales engineering startup, announced a $17.5 million funding round aimed at scaling its orchestration platform for industrial‑grade requests for quotation (RFQ) processes.
Why industrial sales need AI orchestration
Industrial manufacturers often face highly technical RFQs that require deep product knowledge, configuration expertise, and rapid proposal generation. Traditional manual workflows can stretch weeks, increasing the risk of lost deals and pricing errors.
Atira’s platform leverages large language models to parse complex specifications, suggest optimal configurations, and auto‑populate bid documents, cutting turnaround time dramatically while preserving engineering accuracy.
Funding details and investors
The $17.5 million round was led by TechVentures with participation from Industrial Capital Partners and existing backer ScaleAI. The capital will fund product enhancements, expand the engineering team, and accelerate go‑to‑market efforts across Europe and North America.
Key capabilities of the Atira platform
- Automated extraction of technical requirements from unstructured RFQ documents
- Real‑time solution configuration using rule‑based and generative AI engines
- Dynamic generation of compliant bid proposals and pricing tables
- Integration with ERP, CRM, and PLM systems for seamless data flow
Early adopters, including a major European turbine manufacturer, report a 40 % reduction in proposal preparation time and higher win rates thanks to more precise, data‑driven bids.
Atira’s AI orchestration is transforming how we respond to complex engineering bids, turning weeks of work into hours.
The company plans to roll out industry‑specific modules for sectors such as aerospace, heavy equipment, and energy, positioning itself as a critical enabler of digital transformation in B2B sales.
