Industries & use cases

Folio's AI-powered sales platform addresses critical challenges in industrial sales, optimizing processes across key teams.

Industrial OEMs

You manufacture complex components with highly specific configurations and applications. Folio makes it easier for your sales teams and channel partners to find the right product fit, communicate value accurately, and reduce the load on engineering support.

Sales & Application Engineers

You’re on the front lines, matching customer needs with the right solution. Folio acts as your AI copilot, turning specs and tribal knowledge into fast, reliable answers, and automating repetitive tasks so you can focus on high-value conversations.

Distributors & Channel Partners

You’re selling across dozens of manufacturers and thousands of SKUs. Folio gives your reps instant access to verified product data, configuration guidance, and application context, so they can sell with confidence, even without deep technical expertise.

You’re fielding constant questions from sales, customizing responses, and protecting against misconfigurations. Folio scales your expertise without draining your time, ensuring your product is sold correctly while creating a feedback loop that informs roadmap and innovation.

In their words

Why manufacturers and distributors are choosing Folio

“We have 22 divisions, and each one can cross-sell the others’ products. But we often don’t know them well enough to speak confidently. Getting the right data at my desk while quoting is my top priority.”

Industrial Automation Solutions

“You're not just selling what you grew up with. We’ve acquired two companies in the last 18 months, and figuring out their products and how they fit hasn’t been easy. Folio could help us integrate, learn, and sell faster.”

Power Transmission Technology

“Sales can’t memorize 100,000 components. The differences are too vast. You hit your limit fast. Folio helps bridge those gaps so sales can keep moving without constant support.”

Industrial Connectivity and Automation

“We now have 5,500 employees. Our sales engineers don’t fit in one room anymore. Getting the right information to the right people at the right time, especially for technical questions, is a major challenge.”

Industrial Automation Components

“We sell the most premium-branded machines in the industry, and the quality justifies the price. But explaining that value match takes time. If Folio can help reps sell on value faster, I can reach more customers and close more quotes.”

Industrial Machine OEM

“Once we have the right data inside, Folio would absolutely make my work easier and eliminate the tasks I don’t want to spend time on as a product engineer.”

Industrial Connectors

“My inside sales team is bombarded with quote requests. They’re overwhelmed and not even replying to some emails. When you’re doing a lot of volume, you need to be organized and most teams just aren’t.”

Industrial Machine Distributor

“Even billion-dollar industrial companies haven’t invested enough in advanced sales enablement. Folio gives them the chance to speed up the funnel and close more business, faster.”

Industrial Metal Solutions

“Folio has an absolutely use case for us. People don’t want to talk with other people anymore… they just want to quickly get their answer and sell their product."
