Looking for a supplier for sheet metal processing quickly and reliably

Googling potential suppliers, e-mailing and calling, searching for knowledge to solve a problem takes a lot of time. If that time is well spent, there is of course no problem. But everyone knows the frustration of the loss of time that often accompanies it. Identifying the right partner(s) faster and better is thus a shortcut to a more competitive and efficient economy.

Recognizable?

Google not always optimal

Everyone nowadays uses Google to often look for new suppliers within the manufacturing industry. This often assumes that the top search results are the best. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Not all companies have their digital findability in order. These websites are often old and contain little information. But more importantly, the website is not adapted to Google's continuously changing algorithms.

Shift to digital platforms

Fortunately, it can also be different. There are ever better tools to search for the right partners in a simple and reliable way. The global manufacturing industry is now making a shift to digital platforms. The business market increasingly demands solutions and user experiences that have already been further developed within the consumer market. Buyers are therefore increasingly looking for experiences that platforms within the B2C market have been offering for some time. In addition, companies want to avoid uncertainties in the supply chains. That stimulates local production.

Searching efficiently within a quality network?

At Tech2B you can place an application within minutes, including relevant files, non-disclosure agreement and general terms and conditions. Within 5 steps you indicate which expertise you are looking for and which conditions a supplier must meet. Then the system does the rest. Relevant suppliers will be contacted and if they are interested they will contact them themselves or submit a quote directly.

How does this work in 4 simple steps?

1. Efficient search within a quality network
2. Turn off quote request
3. Online audit & analysis

You can of course also invite regular suppliers to respond to an assignment. In addition, you can also exclude companies to protect your drawings or assignments.

To bring supply and demand together, Tech2B uses 8 categories, which are again subdivided into subcategories. This allows you to quickly find the right expertise or make your own expertise discoverable. The assignments and applications will therefore be found in the categories.
