Once you have a draft RFQ ready to send, Purchaser makes it easy for you to send RFQs out to your existing vendors or new vendors found through our Vendor Discovery. Navigate to the second step of creating an RFQ, Configure & Send to get started.
Review Subject: The Subject is the email subject line your recipients will see. Our platform automatically generates a clear, compelling subject line based on your RFQ’s content, saving you time. You always have the option to change it if needed.
Connect Your Email: This is the From address for your RFQ email. While we provide an automatically generated email address by default, connecting your work email can significantly improve your response rates. To learn more, visit our Connect Your Email guide.
Add Recipients / To: This will be where you will add your recipients for your RFQ. There are a few ways you can add who you want to send your RFQ to.
Add a New Email: You can directly add any email address as a recipient, even if it's not saved as a contact.
Select a Recommended Vendor: (Professional Plan only) Save time searching. We'll recommend the most relevant vendors for your RFQ from our database to select from.
Discover a New Vendor: Select Try Our Vendor Discovery to find a new vendor from our list of over 150K+ suppliers that matches your specific needs. Once found, click Add to RFQ and choose the RFQ you're working on (or start a new one).
Send RFQ: Once you're satisfied with your recipients, select Send RFQ to email your RFQ to all the recipients you’ve added.
Once your RFQ is sent, Purchaser helps you effortlessly manage responses and compare quotes. We organize all incoming responses, making it simple to track which RFQs have received replies, which have quotes, and more. This significantly streamlines the entire process for you and your team.
