How to Process Unstructured RFQs using OpenAI RAG and Node.js

The article explains how to build a multi-stage pipeline using Node.js, OpenAI RAG, and AWS to transform unstructured RFQs (from PDFs, emails, scanned documents) into structured procurement data. It covers document ingestion, OCR preprocessing, and RAG-based parsing to extract meaningful fields like item names, quantities, and specifications from inconsistent formats. The system aims to eliminate manual bottlenecks in procurement workflows by automating RFQ parsing and vendor matching.
