Requests for Quotations (RFQ's)

Your potential customers will likely negotiate with you, so you should definitely negotiate with your supply chain

Requests for Quotations (RFQ's)

Requests For Quotations

Sometimes, you might work with suppliers and products where costs vary so you can’t have fixed costs stored in your items list. Other times, you might have more than one supplier from whom you buy specific products or materials. Maybe you just want to secure better prices for a specific customer project where you need to get a competitive edge or improve your profit margin.

Either way, our Requests for Quotations module (or ‘RFQ’ module) will let you manage all of this without the time-consuming calls and emails.
