Need Three Quotations? Why Not Five or Seven?
Obtaining three quotations for a list of as few as 20 items often involves lengthy searches, numerous emails, and multiple store visits. The most challenging part of the job is locating where the items are available. Isn't it frustrating to find just one or two items unavailable after visiting so many stores? Qvian solves this problem by broadcasting your request to all vendors simultaneously. You simply need to relax and wait for the vendors' responses.
The Power of Fan-Out Distribution
At the heart of Qvian's revolutionary approach is its fan-out distribution system. Much like hailing a ride on Uber, Qvian broadcasts your Request for Quotation (RFQ) to all relevant vendors within your specified geographic area. This means that with just a few clicks, you can reach a vast network of potential sellers, eliminating the need for time-consuming vendor research and outreach.
Effortless RFQ Creation and Distribution
Qvian simplifies the RFQ process down to three easy steps:
- Fill out a custom request for your desired category.
- Select your target geographic area.
- Send your request to all relevant vendors in that area.
Gone are the days of maintaining extensive email lists or spending hours on the phone. Qvian ensures that your RFQ reaches every potential vendor, maximizing your chances of finding the best deal.
Multiple Quotations at Your Fingertips
One of the most significant advantages of using Qvian is the ease with which you can collect and compare multiple quotations. Instead of waiting days or weeks for responses, you'll receive quotes from various vendors quickly and efficiently. This not only saves time but also provides you with a comprehensive view of the market, enabling you to make more informed decisions.
Streamlined Sourcing and Selection
Qvian doesn't just stop at collecting quotations. The platform offers powerful tools to help you analyze and select the best options:
- Auto-sourcing feature: Automatically select the lowest rates from any number of quotations with just one click, regardless of the currency used.
- Easy comparison: View all quotations at once to easily compare prices, terms, and other important factors.
- Flexible purchasing: Send purchase orders to vendors independently for selected items from their quotations.
