New Features New - Issue Public or Private Requests for Quotations (RFQs) Buyers can now issue public requests for quotation to suppliers in a community. For example if you select to send the a public RFQ, the system will send your request to all suppliers in a particular community e.g. Brakes Community. Sending a public RFQ will also mean your company name (But not your contact details) will be exposed to all suppliers that receive your request. Suppliers can only respond to you through the ASF site. With public RFQs you can choose who you would like your RFQ to go out to and also exclude any known companies from the distribution list. If you wish to send a private RFQ, your company and contact details will be hidden from the suppliers. Coming Soon - Send Requests to Overseas Suppliers Working with our trade association counterparts throughout Europe and beyond, we plan to introduce overseas suppliers to the searchable database. The initial phase of 2,000 suppliers will be from Central and Eastern Europe.
