Procurement today is broken.

Every project cycle burns time chasing quotes that arrive late, incomplete, and impossible to compare.

01

RFQs scattered across WhatsApp and email

No structure. No audit trail. Critical scope gets lost in threads.

02

Supplier sourcing depends on personal networks

You call the same three suppliers every time, regardless of price or availability.

03

No structured bid comparison

Pricing comes in different formats, different currencies, different assumptions. Comparison is manual.

04

No visibility on response status

You never know if a supplier has seen your RFQ, is working on it, or has ignored it.


Five steps from RFQ to award.

The entire sourcing cycle — structured, trackable, and auditable — in one place.

1

Upload RFQ or BOQ

Attach drawings, specs, and line items directly on the platform.

2

Suppliers notified

Matched suppliers in your category receive instant notifications.

3

Structured bids submitted

Every bid follows the same format — price, lead time, compliance.

4

Compare in one view

Side-by-side comparison across all bids. No spreadsheets.

5

Award on platform

Accept, reject, and notify suppliers directly from the dashboard.


Not a marketplace. Not a directory. Not a tender portal.

Matching

Category-based supplier matching

Suppliers only see RFQs in their exact sector and geography. No spam, no irrelevant tenders.

Structure

Structured bid submission

Every supplier submits using the same format. No PDFs, no email chains, no formatting chaos.

Focus

Built for AV, ELV, Lighting only

Not a generic procurement tool. Designed specifically for systems integration and fit-out supply chains.

Tracking

Real-time response tracking

See exactly which suppliers have viewed, are drafting, or have submitted. No chasing.

Intelligence

Supplier performance data

Win rates, response times, and bid history inform your shortlisting decisions.

Control

Private and invite-only RFQs

Control exactly who sees your requirements. Public, private, or targeted to specific suppliers.

Answered directly.

Will I get serious, qualified suppliers?
Only vetted, category-matched suppliers receive your RFQ. Low-quality or off-category suppliers are filtered out before notification.
Can I keep my RFQ private?
Yes. You control visibility — public to all matched suppliers, private, or invite-only to specific companies.
What if suppliers don't respond?
Suppliers are notified instantly and tracked. Response performance is recorded and visible to buyers over time.
Is this just another marketplace or directory?
No. RFQsNow is built around active RFQs, not listings or catalogs. Every interaction is tied to a live procurement requirement.
