WHY IT MATTERS
What Our RFQ Service
Delivers for You
Pre-Vetted Factories Only
Every factory is evaluated before entering our network, for production capability, quality standards, and reliability.
Full Transparency
Our comparison reports show you everything including factories we don't recommend and why. No hidden agendas, no preferred supplier kickbacks.
Faster Decisions
What typically takes procurement teams weeks of back-and-forth, we compress into a structured process delivering a complete comparison report within 2-3 weeks.
Compliance Checked
We verify that shortlisted factories hold relevant certifications social compliance, environmental standards, product testing before they make your comparison list.
Local Language & Culture
Our team communicates with factories in local languages, eliminating misunderstandings and ensuring the specifications you intended are the ones being quoted.
Best Price, Not Cheapest
We negotiate on your behalf and flag when a quote is suspiciously low because the cheapest factory is rarely the best value over the life of a project.

Questions
Have a specific question about our RFQ process? We’re happy to walk you through it.
We typically approach 4-6 factories per RFQ. This gives you meaningful choice without overwhelming the comparison. For complex or niche products, we may expand the shortlist. For products where one specialist factory stands out clearly, we’ll tell you and explain why limiting to fewer options serves you better.
Absolutely. If you have existing supplier relationships you’d like to include in the comparison, we’ll add them to the RFQ process and evaluate them against our network using the same criteria. This gives you an objective, side-by-side view of your existing vendors versus alternatives.
From brief to comparison report, the RFQ process typically takes 2-3 weeks for standard products. More complex or highly customised products may require 3-5 weeks to allow factories adequate time to quote accurately. We’ll provide a clear timeline at the outset.
Our comparison report covers: unit pricing at stated volumes, MOQ, sample cost and lead time, production lead time, payment terms, compliance certifications held, our quality assessment of the factory, and our recommendation with reasoning. We present it in a clear, decision-ready format.
