THE SAME FIVE QUOTES, LINED UP

You send the BOQ on WhatsApp, call the same three subcontractors, chase who has even opened it, then retype five formats into Excel.

The lowest total skipped two lines.

AI reads every quote file subcontractors attach, PDF scans included, and lines them up item by item against your RFQ. Gaps and brand swaps show up before you award.

Common questions

What does RFQsNow cost?

It is free for contractors. Subcontractors pay to unlock the RFQs matched to their category, as explained in how subcontractor pricing and unlocks work.

Will I get serious, qualified subcontractors?

Your RFQ goes to subcontractors matched to its category. Off-category ones are filtered out before distribution.

Can I keep my RFQ private?

Yes. You control visibility: public to all matched subcontractors, private, or invite-only to specific companies.

What if subcontractors don't respond?

Matched subcontractors are emailed when your RFQ goes live. You track every response for that RFQ in one dashboard instead of chasing by email.

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.
