How RFQs work
Post requirements once. Receive quotes from matched, verified suppliers. Choose the best fit.
Four steps
Post requirements
Describe what you need — specs, quantity, timeline, certifications, budget. More detail means better quotes.
Suppliers get matched
Our algorithm identifies relevant, verified suppliers. Only suppliers in your category see your RFQ. 48-hour discovery window.
Compare quotes
Receive quotes during the 7-day engagement period. Compare pricing, terms, and capabilities side by side. Message to clarify.
Choose and proceed
Select the best offer. Communication history, quote details, and supplier credentials saved in your dashboard.
What makes this different
Verified responses only
Only suppliers who passed document-based verification can respond to your RFQ.
Smart matching
Your RFQ goes to suppliers with relevant capabilities. Not blasted to everyone on the platform.
Structured timeline
48-hour discovery window for supplier interest, then 7-day engagement period for detailed quotes.
Free for buyers
Posting RFQs, receiving quotes, and messaging suppliers costs nothing. No subscription required.

Common questions
Who sees my RFQ?
Only verified suppliers matched to your category and requirements. Your RFQ is not public and is not blasted platform-wide.
How long until quotes arrive?
Suppliers express interest during the 48-hour discovery window. Detailed quotes arrive across the 7-day engagement period. Most buyers can start comparing within days.
What does posting an RFQ cost?
Nothing. Posting RFQs, receiving quotes, and messaging suppliers are free for buyers. No subscription required.
Is my RFQ reviewed before matching?
Yes. Every RFQ passes automated moderation before suppliers see it. This filters out spam and incomplete requests, so suppliers treat matched RFQs seriously.
What if I don't award a supplier?
Nothing is locked in. You can close or cancel your RFQ at any time, and open RFQs expire automatically after a set period. Quotes and conversations stay in your dashboard.
