Core Service

RFQ & Quote Coordination

Global Stitchers manages the entire RFQ process—developing specifications, distributing to matched factories, collecting quotes, and facilitating negotiations—so you get accurate pricing and favorable terms.

RFQs Are More Complex Than They Look

Poorly managed RFQs lead to inaccurate quotes, wasted time, and bad deals. Factories quote based on what you give them—unclear specs mean unreliable pricing.

 
 
 
 

60%

of initial quotes require revision due to specification gaps 

3-4x

more back-and-forth when RFQs lack clear requirements

 
 

15-30%

price variance between poorly and well-structured RFQs

RFQ Coordination Questions

Common questions about our quote coordination service

Do I have to use your RFQ process?
No, but we recommend it. Our structured process ensures factories receive clear specifications, reducing quote inaccuracies. If you prefer to handle RFQs directly after matching, we can facilitate introductions and step back.
Typically 2-5 quotes depending on your product and requirements. We focus on quality matches rather than flooding you with options. Each quote comes from a verified factory we’ve assessed for fit.
Yes, negotiation support is part of our RFQ coordination. We provide market context, help identify negotiation opportunities, and facilitate discussions—while you make final decisions on terms.
We’ll discuss options: adjusting specifications to reduce cost, exploring different factories, or providing market context on pricing. Sometimes expectations need calibration based on current market conditions.
