Australian METS companies lose international deals not because their technology is inferior — but because their commercial infrastructure is. Quarterdeck Labs deploys AI systems inside your business that let a small team compete like a large one.
A typical METS company chasing international growth has one or two people stretched across everything — exhibitions, outreach, proposals, follow-up, reporting. The bandwidth simply doesn't exist to work a large pipeline consistently enough to generate reliable international revenue.
At the same time, their international competitors — larger companies with dedicated export teams — are running structured, systematic commercial operations. The gap isn't technology. It's commercial infrastructure.
AI automation closes that gap. Not by replacing people, but by making your existing team exponentially more effective — handling the volume, the consistency, and the intelligence work that humans can't sustain manually.
Every system below is built and operated by Quarterdeck Labs inside your business — not handed off to you as a tool recommendation.
Continuously scans global industry databases, LinkedIn, conference registries, project announcement feeds and tender portals to identify qualified international buyers that match your exact ICP. Delivers a live, prioritised list of prospects with context — who they are, why they're relevant, and when to approach them.
Personalised multi-touch outreach at scale — every prospect gets a tailored sequence based on their role, company, projects and context. Not a bulk email blast. We build the sequences, manage the sends, monitor replies, and continuously optimise based on open and response rates across each market.
Daily automated briefings synthesising signals across tender portals, competitor announcements, project news, commodity price movements, industry publications and government policy updates. Your team sees only what's relevant — filtered, prioritised, and ready to act on.
Real-time view of your entire international pipeline — conversation status, deal stage, forecast revenue, activity cadence and conversion metrics. Automatically populated from your CRM and outreach systems. No manual updates. Always current. Reviewed together weekly as part of your engagement.
Consistent international presence without consistent effort. A system that generates, schedules and optimises LinkedIn content targeting your exact buyer profile across each market — keeping your brand front of mind with international procurement and technical decision-makers between direct outreach touches.
AI-assisted drafting and review of international tender responses, RFQ submissions and capability statements. Synthesises your product documentation, case studies and past submissions into a structured response — significantly reducing turnaround time and ensuring your bid answers the actual evaluation criteria, not just the surface question.
The difference between a recommendation and a running system is everything.
Purpose-selected tools — assembled into an integrated system, not a list of software subscriptions you manage yourself.
