How it works for suppliers
A buyer sends an invitation to quote on an item. You receive an email or SMS with a secure link. You open the brief, check the specification, delivery terms and volumes, and submit your price. If the event is a reverse auction, you can update your price during the open window — you'll see your ranking but never the names or specific prices of competitors. When the event closes, the buyer awards the order based on price and any weighted criteria they have set.
Tips for winning more orders
- Complete your supplier profile fully — categories, certifications, regions served, lead times.
- Respond within the first half of the open window — late bids feel like an afterthought.
- Quote sharply on your first event with a new buyer; repeat work compounds.
- Keep delivery promises. QuickSource tracks supplier performance and shares it with buyers.
- Use the event chat to clarify the spec — buyers reward suppliers who ask intelligent questions.
