1The problem

Every new customer is a lengthy qualification project.

Approval runs through many teams

Procurement, R&D, quality, compliance, marketing and finance each sign off, and each needs different evidence.

The evidence is scattered

Test reports, certificates and past jobs sit in inboxes and shared drives.

Samples go quiet

Samples get sent, then nobody knows whether the trial worked or what happens next.

2How it works

From spec sheet to final qualification.

  1. 1

    Send us the spec

    Forward an RFQ, tender or spec sheet as it arrives, in whatever format it comes.

  2. 2

    We match and build the case

    Your products are checked against each requirement, and each approving team gets the evidence it needs, with gaps flagged.

  3. 3

    You submit, we follow the trial

    You approve the response. We arrange samples and follow each approval stage until there's an answer.

3What you get

Stronger responses, less of your team's time.

Spec-to-product matching

Each requirement checked against your datasheets, with the best-fit product named.

Evidence for every approver

Datasheets, test reports and past jobs for R&D, quality, compliance and finance, with a clear approval trail.

RFQ and tender drafts

A first response in the buyer's format, for you to edit and approve.

Samples and joint development

Samples tracked through each review, and custom formulation projects run step by step, technical or commercial.

4Questions

Before you book.

Do you need our formulations?

No. We work from what you already share with customers: datasheets, safety data sheets, certificates and test reports.

Who submits the response?

You do, under your own name. Nothing goes to a buyer without your approval.

Do you ship the samples?

We book the courier and prepare the documents. You hand over the parcel.

What does it cost?

It depends on what you need. We agree it together on the call.

Do we need to learn new software?

No. Everything happens over email, WhatsApp or the existing tools you already use.
