    The RFQ Quick Select

    The RFQ Quick Select is designed for speed and ease of use, enabling buyers to quickly generate a request for quote or direct purchase to suppliers. The Quick Select saves thousands of hours in compiling product lists and prices by phone or fax. Buyers simply log on, compile a list of products from the Materials List, and submit the RFQ to suppliers they are registered with on the site.

    The Materials List is displayed on one, easy-to-use interface, and features hundreds of thousands of product descriptions. Participating suppliers need only indicate which product descriptions they carry in order to quote on those products. This makes it much easier and much more affordable for suppliers to join RigSupplies.com, since it is not necessary to upload product pricing, descriptions and skus, or manage a separate online inventory.

    Using the RFQ system, registered buyers can submit RFQs to suppliers that have indicated they carry the product. This eliminates the hassle of buyers contacting suppliers for products they do not carry. Buyers only need to generate one material list for their RFQ, but can submit the list to multiple suppliers that carry each of those products. Buyers are also able to save regularly purchased items in folders for later retrieval, and have the option of printing and faxing the RFQ list.

    Buyers can browse and search the Materials List easily and quickly in order to generate the RFQ. The Materials List is built into different zones for quick browsing by category. Products featuring pencils () or camera icons () beside the description indicate further information is available.

    All information about the product, including its description and any associated photos or technical documentation, is carried with the product throughout the transaction. Buyers are also able to create address books for shipping to multiple locations.

    Both buyers and suppliers are able to communicate throughout the quoting process using electronic "sticky notes" to ensure all pertinent information is included with the purchase. This information is included with archiving as well, for quick and easy reference to product purchasing at a later date.

    Master Tracking Document

    RigSupplies.com features a proprietary Master Tracking Document (MTD) that provides huge cost savings for both buyers and sellers in the supply chain. The MTD enables buyers and sellers to generate electronic invoices, tracking numbers, and purchase orders to streamline the flow of information that follows any B2B transaction.

    Once a buyer has accepted an RFQ, or made a direct purchase with a single supplier, they can then generate an electronic purchase order. This electronic document is archived so buyers have access to every detail of the transaction at any time in the future, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

    Using the MTD, suppliers can generate electronic invoices for buyers once the purchase order has been created and the product shipped. These invoiced MTDs are also archived and accessible 24/7 from any location.

    With both suppliers and buyers using a common purchase order and billing system, registered companies can save significant time and money by using the MTD. This includes streamlining month end financial reporting since there is no lag time between the date purchase orders are generated and the arrival of the invoices for payment. This is all handled electronically, with the ability to generate printable versions for hard copies of the documents.

    The MTD also offers huge value in terms of its reporting abilities. For example, buyers can generate reports on prior purchases right down to specific products such as crescent wrenches and lock washers. Based on these reports buyers can then identify specific cost saving opportunities. This includes anything from bulk purchasing products based on buying history to identifying possible theft of supplies. For more information on the site’s antitheft capabilities click here.
