Making complex projects easy to request

The new tender function on the PROTIQ Marketplace

In the world of manufacturing, every project faces unique challenges - be it the selection of the right material, specific surface requirements or special certifications for certain industries. The new tendering function on the PROTIQ Marketplace now offers you the opportunity to efficiently request even complex projects for individual pieces, series or long-term production and receive offers from a large number of qualified suppliers.

This new function eliminates the tedious search for suitable providers on various platforms or websites. Instead, you can submit a single request via the PROTIQ Marketplace and conveniently view the best solutions in one central location.

The tendering function on the PROTIQ Marketplace: overview and how it works

The new tendering function is designed to simplify and streamline the entire inquiry and quotation process for complex projects. Customers can define their specific requirements via a user-friendly form - from the material to the desired production technology to the quantity. As soon as the inquiry is submitted, it is checked and forwarded to the suppliers on the PROTIQ Marketplace. They can then create customized offers for the project request. The quotes are then gradually made available in the customer account of the requestor.

How does the tendering function work in detail?

Creation of the inquiry: The customer fills out a detailed inquiry form and can define all the important parameters. These include material, process, quantities, specific surface requirements and delivery times. Files such as 3D models or technical drawings can also be attached directly to make the inquiry as precise as possible.

Review and approval: The request is first reviewed by the PROTIQ Marketplace team. The main focus here is to check whether all the important information about the project has been provided and to clarify any discrepancies with the customer in advance. As soon as all the information is available, the tender is opened to the PROTIQ Marketplace providers. Each provider receives the necessary information and can create an individual offer based on this.

Submission of offers: The providers submit their offers, which the customer can then view and compare collectively in the customer account. Customers can carefully weigh up the offers received and, if necessary, ask the providers questions - and vice versa.

Offer acceptance and order placement: As soon as the customer has accepted an offer, the selected provider receives the necessary order information and can start production. The invitation to tender is closed for all other suppliers once an offer has been accepted.

Advantages of the new tendering function: efficiency, transparency and flexibility

The tendering function on the PROTIQ Marketplace has a number of advantages. Here are some of the most important ones:

Central platform for complex requests: instead of searching for suitable providers on different platforms or websites, customers can now submit all their requests in one place and receive offers from several qualified companies at once. This saves time and reduces complexity in the enquiry process.

Individual offers from qualified providers: The providers on the PROTIQ Marketplace are experts in their respective fields. Each provider examines the request carefully and creates a tailor-made offer that is specifically adapted to the customer's requirements. This means you receive customized solutions and not a "one-size-fits-all" model.

Transparency and comparability: Customers can view and compare the incoming quotes directly in their customer account. Each offer can be checked in detail so that an informed decision can be made. All offers are collected in one place, which creates transparency and simplifies the decision-making process.

Easy access to high-volume and long-term projects: The tendering function is particularly suitable for requests with higher quantities or for long-term projects. Series deliveries or interval orders can also be easily requested.

Possible uses of the tendering function: From prototypes to large series

The tendering function is not only interesting for one-off projects, but also ideal for companies that want to realize regular or large-scale production projects. Here are some typical applications:

Prototyping with special requirements: Companies looking to develop a prototype benefit from the variety of materials and production technologies available on the PROTIQ Marketplace. The tendering function can be used to specifically request suppliers that meet complex requirements such as special surface structures or specific certifications.

Series production and long-term projects: For companies that plan for the long term and require large quantities, the tendering function offers a reliable way of finding suitable suppliers for series productions. Customers can specify the intervals at which production should take place, ensuring that they always have an overview, even for long-term projects.

Industry-specific projects: Many projects, especially in the automotive or aviation industries, require strict standards and special certificates. You can use the PROTIQ Marketplace to search specifically for suppliers who meet these requirements and also take industry-specific specifications into account.
