◇ Built for Indian manufacturing SMEs

From a WhatsApp voice note to a normalised quote in 48 hours.

RFQClub is a request-for-quote exchange for machining, foundry, sheet-metal and fabrication buyers. Post a requirement the way it already exists, and we structure it, route it to the few right suppliers, and bring their quotes back compared on total landed cost.

Normalise

RFQClub maps it to an industry schema and asks before it routes — gaps become a clarify message to you.

Collect

Quotes come back by voice, PDF or text. Suppliers can't see each other — bids stay blinded.

Everything is normalised to total landed cost, so you compare like-for-like and award with a recommendation.

Why teams choose RFQClub

the difference is in the routing

Routed to ≤5, not blasted to 500

Every RFQ reaches a ranked shortlist of verified shops who genuinely make the part — no spray-and-pray listings, no broker spam.

Bids stay blinded

Suppliers quote independently and can't see each other's pricing until you award. That keeps quotes honest and prices competitive.

Priced on total landed cost

Unit price, tooling, freight and lead time normalised into one comparable number — so the cheapest quote isn't quietly the most expensive.

WhatsApp-first intake

Forward the voice note, the photo, the group message. Speak in Hinglish or your vernacular — we structure it for you.

It asks before it routes

Missing specs trigger a clarify loop back to you, so suppliers receive a complete, unambiguous requirement the first time.

Structured & comparable

Free-text chaos becomes a clean schema you can sort, save, compare and award — with a recommendation and its rationale.
