Prepare an RFQ suppliers can answer

A clear request lets suppliers quote the same scope. Use this checklist before inviting your selected contacts; MapleBridge does not use the brief to find factories for you.

Describe the actual product

Specify product type, use, material, dimensions and model or drawing references. Mark unknown requirements for follow-up rather than inventing specifications.

Define quantity and commercial terms

State order quantity, acceptable MOQ, price unit, currency and destination. Ask suppliers to itemize samples, tooling, packaging and other exclusions.

Request evidence and samples

List the documents and sample checks you need. Confirm the exact scope independently. The workspace does not certify documents or factory capability.

Resolve missing information

Review incomplete fields before sharing the request. If suppliers ask questions, clarify the scope directly before relying on their prices. An incomplete brief is not held for future automatic matching.

Share and compare

Save the RFQ, invite your contacts and compare explicitly submitted replies. Chinese and English interfaces support the workflow but do not imply automatic translation or semantic supplier discovery.
