Feature



Auto Inquiry Responder



Description



The Auto Inquiry Responder automates the process of handling user inquiries by automatically fulfilling them through registered suppliers without requiring admin intervention.



How It Works



1. User Inquiry Creation: Users submit inquiries through the website, seeking information about Price of products or services.







2. Supplier Registration: Suppliers register on the website by filling form, providing details about their offerings, including product/service information, pricing, and contact details.







3. Supplier Matching: The system matches user inquiries with registered suppliers based on predefined criteria such as product category, location, or specialization.







4. Automatic Response: Once a user inquiry is matched with a suitable supplier, the system automatically generates a response on behalf of the supplier.







5. Response Content: The response includes relevant information about the product or service, pricing details. Importantly, the response content does not include contact information of the supplier for communication between the supplier and the user.







6. Admin Oversight: While the system operates autonomously, administrators have access to monitor and manage its performance, including reviewing activity logs and making adjustments to the matching algorithm or supplier database.
