How it works

AI does the chasing. A sourcing expert signs off.

Send one email. The RFQ Desk reads your package, matches it to the right vetted partners, follows up until quotes are in, and returns one clear comparison.

  1. You send your RFQ

    Email rfq@scimon.co with your drawings, 3D files, quantities and target date. We confirm receipt and give your request an RFQ number.

    AI reads your package
  2. We check what's missing

    The desk pulls out process, material, finish, tolerances and quantities, and asks you about anything unclear before suppliers ever see it.

    AI, reviewed by a person
  3. We match the right partners

    Your part is matched to two to four vetted suppliers on capability, certifications and track record. A SCiMon sourcing expert approves the shortlist.

    Human approval
  4. Suppliers quote, and we follow up

    Suppliers receive your package under our MNDA. The desk tracks deadlines and follows up, so you don't have to.

  5. You compare quotes side by side

    Unit prices by quantity, tooling, lead time, payment terms and any exceptions, in one comparison with our recommendation.

    Expert recommendation
  6. You place your PO directly

    You buy direct from the factory at factory-direct pricing. The supplier owns quality and delivery, and the relationship is yours.

    Your PO, your supplier

Before you send

What to include in your RFQ

A complete package gets you faster, more accurate quotes.

  • 2D drawing (PDF) with revision, tolerances and notes
  • 3D model (STEP or similar)
  • Quantities, including any price breaks you want quoted
  • Material and finish requirements
  • Required date and ship-to location
  • Certifications or industry standards you need

Your files stay confidential

Your drawings go only to the suppliers on your approved shortlist, each under a signed MNDA with SCiMon.co. The whole engagement stays in one email thread.

Export-controlled work is handled differently

Please don't email ITAR, EAR or other controlled technical data to the RFQ Desk. See how we handle export-controlled programs.
