How it works
With Stoora, in order to receive RFQs from buyers worldwide, a supplier just has to define his manufacturing activities by using the adequate grid of the Stoora Manufacturing Classification.
Each manufacturing activity is represented by a supplier grid. Its boxes allow a supplier to define his profile, i.e. his available manufacturing techniques.
| DEEP DRAWING | DRAWING PAD RUBBER | DRAWING LIQUID OR GAS | DRAWING EXPANSION OR EXPLOSION | DRAWING MAGNETO FORMING | SPINNING FLOSPINNING | ENHANCEMENT DIMPLING TUBES | OTHER | |
| CUTTING PIERCING | LASER CUTTING | WATER JET CUTTING | WIRE CUTTING | OXYGEN CUTTING | SHEARING GUILLOTINE | TRIMMING CUTTING | CUTTING DRAWING | OTHER |
- When registering, a supplier must choose the grid(s) corresponding to each of his manufacturing activities, and tick in each one the boxe(s) corresponding to his manufacturing techniques.
- Later, when receiving RFQs that so not match his know-how, he may delete the corresponding manufacturing activities, subject to reinstatement whenever he so decides.
WITH STOORA, FINDING CLIENTS IS AS SIMPLE AS 1 – 2 – 3
1 - A supplier receive all the RFQs corresponding to the Manufacturing Results he has registered with the Stoora Manufacturing Classification and IT'S FREE.
2 - The supplier can study the details and the drawing(s) of the RFQ that remain at this stage anonymous, and IT'S FREE
3 - Any supplier wanting to answer the RFQ can obtain the name and address of the buyer by paying a fixed fee, not connected to the value of the quote.
Cost
No yearly subscription, no registration fee
Registration is free for suppliers
Receiving buyer RFQs corresponding to their manufacturing activities is also free
Suppliers can also study the RFQs including full CAD drawings without any payment; the only information not available at this stage is the name of the buyers.
