Start a benchmark.

Send the product and its commercial context. The clearer the specification, the stronger the benchmark — and the more defensible the position it gives you.

What to prepare

  • The productDrawings, a reference product or a clear description — construction, materials, finish and dimensions.
  • VolumesRealistic annual or per-order quantities, ideally as the tiers you actually buy in.
  • Current priceIf you are validating an incumbent: the price and its basis (Incoterm, packaging, terms). Optional but sharpens the output.
  • Target priceIf you are testing a launch or negotiation target: the number and the basis it is stated on.
  • ConstraintsCompliance requirements, certifications, packaging standards or timing constraints the market must quote against.

What happens next

Your brief is reviewed and the specification confirmed with you before anything is priced. The controlled RFQ then goes to the selected factories, responses are normalised onto one basis, and the benchmark is returned as a comparison and decision memo.

Send the brief

Attachments — drawings, specifications or existing quotations — can be shared once the brief is received.
