There are multi-sellers on some industrial products at Bidustry. 2 possibilities for these kinds of products:
1- Suppliers joined Bidustry independently from each other but uploaded the same product,
2- A manufacturer joined Bidustry with its distributors, retailers, or resellers. They serve all products together or regional or country by country!
Either way, as an industrial buyer, you can request a quote from all of the sellers with a few clicks. Bidustry offers industrial buyers three things:
-Request quotes or send messages,
-Reach directly to manufacturers and suppliers,
-Check price histories.
There are price histories for some industrial products. Those prices are older prices from sellers. It is mostly for construction projects and engineering companies.
They can have an idea about prices without reaching manufacturers and suppliers.
As a result of all, industrial product sourcing is one of the steps in procurement. It is very important to reach the right prices and delivery dates from the right manufacturers and suppliers at the right time.
As a buyer you can reach tens of sellers for some products or by creating a quote form you can reach dozens of sellers.
