NEXTMRKT Others*
Getting in A person reviews every business before it can join the network. Many let a supplier list for free before anyone checks it.
Who gets screened Every business in the network, whatever plan it's on. Verification is often a paid badge, so only the suppliers who pay for it carry one.
What's checked State registration in good standing, website and work email, role for each product line, and certification numbers against public registries. Usually business registration. Deeper checks are an extra paid upgrade.
Buyers Screened too: a real, operating business with a stated need, here to buy. Usually just an account with a name and email.
Ranking Matched on capability and fit, plus your own history with a supplier. Paying for a plan never buys preferential placement. Paid plans and ads often buy a higher spot in search.

How we screen

From one RFQ to quotes you can compare

  1. For buyers

    Structured RFQ's, Clear requirements

    A vague request comes back as a vague quote, or a week of back and forth.

    Our structured RFQ templates ensure you provide the right information to help suppliers structure a quote quicker, so you both can get more done, in less time.

    Create RFQ for a 12 oz trail mix pouch: a tracker for where the draft stands, a summary that fills in as you type, and the guided packaging questions with the product, dimensions and material filled in.

  2. NEXTMRKT Match, both sides

    The right RFQ to the right Supplier. Your search is over.

    When buyers complete their RFQ, they can see which suppliers in the network match best. Suppliers see which RFQ's they are competitive for. No searching or cold outreach required.

    *Available in Buyer basic and Supplier Basic plans only.

    See matches on an RFQ: suppliers ranked for the request, each with the reasons it fits.

  3. For suppliers

    Quoting made easy with NEXTMRKT's Quote Builder

    Simple quoting leads to faster responses. Every line gets its own unit price, lead time and minimum order, with price breaks for larger runs. Tooling and freight terms have their own place too, so your quote is solid from the start.

    The Quote Builder: a tracker for where the quote stands, the RFQ’s key facts beside the supplier’s running total and lead time, and a line item filled in with unit price, extended price, lead time, minimum order and a price break for a larger run.

  4. For buyers

    Instantly Compare quotes side by side

    With structured RFQ's and Quotes, you can instantly compare quotes side by side. No more spreadsheet manipulation to figure out how each quote matches up, just clear answers to help you make decisions faster.

    Compare Quotes for an RFQ: three quotes side by side with unit price, tooling, lead time and minimum order.

  5. Both sides

    Keep the conversation in one place

    With Message boards on quotes, you can keep the conversation in one place. Transparent and open to the whole team on both sides. No more back and forth emails threads and people falling off the CC lines

    The message board on a quote, between the buyer and one supplier.
