RFQ and supplier quote comparison guide

Use MapleBridge to prepare a purchasing request, invite suppliers you select and compare their submitted quotes. Start with your own supplier contacts.

Prepare one clear request

Record product specifications, quantity, packaging, required documents, delivery destination and requested date. Keep uncertain requirements visible for supplier clarification.

Review and save

Check the saved RFQ before sharing it. Saving a request is not a supplier invitation, an email delivery confirmation or a purchase order.

Share private invitations

Create a private quotation link for each intended supplier and share it with that contact. Do not publish confidential invitation links on public pages.

Wait for explicit submission

Suppliers can respond through their private links. Filling a form or saving a draft is not submission; compare replies after suppliers explicitly submit them.

Compare and clarify

Compare price units, currencies, quantity tiers, MOQ, lead times and delivery terms. Ask suppliers to clarify missing fields and exclusions.

Make purchasing decisions independently

Verify company identity, samples and documents before agreeing contracts and payment. MapleBridge does not find factories, certify suppliers, provide buyer leads or arrange logistics.
