The problem today
Generic inbound enquiries via email or WeChat rarely include enough detail to quote quickly.
Certifications, MOQs, lead times and past performance live in scattered documents instead of a verifiable profile.
It is easy to lose track of who approved what sample, and when.
How it helps
Show products, certifications, factory capability and trade history to buyers and sourcing agents evaluating you.
Requests arrive with product spec, target quantity and timing already filled in.
Track sample requests, feedback and sign-off against the RFQ they belong to.
Once an order is confirmed, the same record carries through to freight handover with the buyer's forwarder.
Create a supplier profile with products, certifications and capabilities
Receive and respond to structured RFQs from buyers and sourcing agents
Coordinate samples, costing and approvals in one thread
Hand off confirmed orders into freight and shipment coordination
“Buyers now send us a real spec instead of "can you make this cheaper" — it changed how fast we can quote.”

Creating a supplier workspace and profile is free to start. Paid plans unlock additional listings, RFQ volume and marketplace visibility.
Pricing you send in response to an RFQ is visible only to that buyer. Your public profile shows capability, not commercial terms.
The platform supports multiple languages, and RFQ threads keep a written record that reduces reliance on live calls.
Wharvex helps suppliers organise information and connect requirements with the relevant records and participants. Start with a defined workflow and the information your team needs to make decisions. Public discovery and workspace functions support coordination; the parties still need a clear operational agreement.
Capture product specifications, available variants, minimum quantities, packaging and lead times. Identify missing information before the next stage starts. Agree who can approve changes and how the current version will be communicated to everyone responsible for the work.

Use consistent references for published product information, buyer enquiries and supporting documents. Separate assumptions from confirmed facts and retain supporting documents in the appropriate workspace. This makes it easier to answer questions and reduces the risk of different participants using different versions.

Before proceeding, make the difference between a published listing and a confirmed order clear. Check the commercial scope, timing and unresolved questions with the parties involved. A software status is useful for coordination but should reflect an actual agreed decision or completed action.

Describe the product or service, origin and destination, quantities, dimensions, timing and any special handling. Include the assumptions behind your estimate so providers can respond on a comparable basis.
Ask the selected provider to confirm the scope, currency, exclusions, validity, required documents and next steps in writing. A published listing or planning estimate is not a confirmed booking or purchase order.
