Founded by Abhay Kalra‍

Hey everyone 👋 Meet Abhay – founder of Avent.

‍

The Story

Abhay grew up in factories. As a kid, he would spend hours with his older brother talking about how to take things to the next level. Every brainstorm somehow ended in the same place: hiring. Turns out, that wasn’t just their problem—it’s everyone’s problem in distribution.

Avent is what the founder wishes they had back then!

‍

📉 The Problem

The Avent founder saw firsthand, as an operator, that growth in distribution is capped almost entirely by hiring. It’s hard to find good sales talent, and even harder to retain.

• Sales teams spend most of their day quoting, entering orders, and chasing product data instead of talking to customers.
• Training new reps takes months, and more than 50% of the workforce will retire this decade.
• Critical knowledge lives in inboxes or people’s heads, and disappears when they leave.

The result: companies can’t scale beyond the speed of hiring, while service slows and relationships suffer.

‍

📈 The Solution

‍

‍

Avent watches every channel where customer requests arrive—email, fax, phone:

• Quoting: When a customer asks for a price, Avent finds the correct product and pricing, generates the quote, and prepares it to send.
• Order Entry: When the customer follows up with a purchase order (PO), Avent matches it to the earlier quote, creates the sales order, and inputs it into the company’s ledger
• Procurement: Never lose an order. If a customer needs something that’s not in stock, Avent will find the best cost from in-network distributors and quote

Avent generates over $200,000 worth of quotes every day for distributors across North America and the UK.
