Frequently asked

How long does the matching process take?
Typically 24-48 hours. Once you submit your structured request, our system matches it to compatible companies and notifies them immediately.
Can I modify my requirements after submission?
Yes. You can update your request at any time before companies submit proposals. After proposals are received, you can still negotiate terms directly with each company.
Is there a platform fee?
No hidden fees. Pricing is transparent and agreed between you and the manufacturer directly on the platform.
