INVENTORY / AVAILABILITY

Check availability against the requirement, not a generic stock list.

A quote-ready request lets the supplier check available stock, reservation status, production route, quantity and lead time against the date and conditions of your enquiry.

Build an RFQ →

01 / STOCK

Check current inventory

Existing stock is compared with grade, form, size, finish, quantity and any reservation status relevant to the enquiry.

02 / PRODUCTION

Check an alternative route

If stock is not suitable, the production route, minimum order, schedule, processing and inspection needs can be reviewed.

03 / OFFER

Confirm the quoted scope

Before an order is placed, confirm quantity, availability date, certificate scope, packing, delivery term and offer validity.

03 / AVAILABILITY BRIEF

Make the stock question quote-ready.

A short request with the correct technical details is more useful than a broad question about availability. It lets the supplier check the right material and communicate any constraints clearly.
