Halo product / request-for-quote intake

Capture the request. Keep review in view.

Halo RFQ is a product candidate that keeps a field request, distributor context, private supporting files, and a person’s review together.

  • Halo-built product
  • Salesforce
  • Controlled pilot candidate

At a glance

A request with its context intact

Controlled pilot candidate; the public demonstration uses fictional data.

Capture → distributor context → private evidence → human review.

The operating problem

What made the work difficult?

Requests arriving through fragmented channels can lose context before anyone can review them. The intake path needs to preserve the request, source, supporting material, and next decision together.

  • Incomplete requests create follow-up work.

  • Files and distributor context can detach from the request.

  • A notification status is not proof that a message was delivered or acted on.

What Halo did

Preserve request context through review.

Halo developed a Salesforce RFQ model and Quick RFQ intake path, plus a separate, publicly viewable synthetic demonstration of the capture-to-review handoff. The demo does not submit a live RFQ or sync a review queue to Salesforce.

  • Define a structured request and distributor context.
  • Keep supporting files private and associated with the work.
  • Design bounded review and oversight without implying automatic quoting.

Halo RFQ — a request with context

AI-generated narration. All visuals are illustrative, fictional records.

00:00:00.000  The field representative records a replacement need and why it matters. This is a fictional request, not a live RFQ submission.

00:00:09.463  The request gathers distributor context and supporting detail. A missing delivery window stays visible instead of disappearing into an email thread.

00:00:19.501  A reviewer sees the unresolved question and can ask for clarification or flag an exception. Neither path automatically creates a quote.

00:00:29.348  The next action has an owner and a reason. The interactive demo lets you try both paths; this video illustrates one of them. No notification is sent.

Explore the handoff / Halo RFQ

An RFQ is more than a form.

Follow a fictional request from field capture through human review. See how context, supporting information, and the next decision stay connected.

Synthetic explanation only. This does not submit an RFQ, upload a file, send a notification, sync a Salesforce queue, or create a quote. No information is collected or sent.

03 / REVIEW

Keep a human in the decision.

A reviewer sees the request and the unresolved question. A queue state is not an approved quote or a delivered notification.

Ownership and exceptions become explicit.
