How to Create an RFQ (Request for Quotation)

What is an RFQ?

A Request for Quotation (RFQ) is a formal process that allows you to request pricing and availability information for specific products or services from suppliers. It helps streamline procurement by enabling businesses to compare offers from multiple vendors and select the best option based on cost, quality, and availability.

With SinchB2B, creating and managing RFQs is quick, simple, and designed to meet your business needs.
