The GCC procurement platform built for systems integration.

RFQsNow exists to fix a broken procurement cycle. AV, ELV, lighting and home automation procurement in the GCC was still running on WhatsApp threads, personal networks, and manual spreadsheet comparisons.

Who built this

RFQsNow was built by Mahmoud El Sagheir, a commercial operator with direct experience in AV, ELV, and lighting procurement across UAE construction and integration projects. Before building RFQsNow, Mahmoud facilitated over AED 33.9M in tracked procurement pipeline and closed a AED 1.65M residential AV/ELV contract in Dubai through structured supplier engagement — the exact process RFQsNow is designed to systematize. RFQsNow exists because that process should not depend on who you know.

Our mission

Make procurement fast, structured, and transparent for systems integration projects in the GCC. Buyers should get qualified bids in hours, not weeks. Suppliers should access real demand, not cold leads.

Who uses RFQsNow

Built with direct sector experience.

RFQsNow was shaped by direct commercial exposure to AV, ELV, Lighting, and Home Automation procurement in the GCC. The product reflects operational lessons from how these supply chains actually work.

The team understands the pressure points around incomplete scopes, late supplier responses, incomparable bids, and the commercial risk of relying on the same familiar names for every package. RFQsNow exists to make that process more structured and easier to manage.

The business is informed by direct sector experience in GCC AV, ELV, and Lighting procurement across UAE and KSA project markets. RFQsNow is an attempt to turn that operational knowledge into a clearer procurement workflow.

A large, fragmented market that has never had procurement infrastructure.

AV, ELV, Lighting, and Home Automation procurement in the GCC still largely runs on personal relationships and WhatsApp groups. Main contractors call the same three suppliers every project cycle. Suppliers discover RFQs too late to quote competitively. Buyers award to whoever responded fastest, not whoever was best qualified.

The market is not short of demand. It is short of infrastructure. RFQsNow is building the procurement operating layer that this category has never had.

GCC focus

RFQsNow is purpose-built for the GCC market. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The platform, currency support, sector coverage, and supplier base are all designed for how procurement actually works in this region.
