Buyer portal
B2B procurement buyer portal: how to submit and track an RFQ
The buyer portal is a private B2B procurement account for one thing: getting an industrial project structured properly and then following the RFQ stage by stage. Each step below states what you submit, what we do and what you see in the portal.
Global B2B Group is a buyer-side project coordinator. It is not a marketplace, not a manufacturer and not a lender. No supplier is connected to you automatically: every introduction follows human review and internal approval.
Step 1
Register a buyer account
Create the account with the email address you will use for the project. Everything submitted with that address is collected into one private dashboard.
- Registration is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
- RFQs you submitted as a guest with the same verified email are attached to the account automatically.
- Your contact details are never published and are never shown to manufacturers.
Step 2
Submit a structured RFQ
The RFQ builder asks for the information a manufacturer needs before a serious offer can be made, so quotations arrive on comparable terms.
- Scope, capacity, technical requirements, standards and site location.
- Budget range, timeline, delivery and payment terms, deadline for offers.
- You can submit more than one project; each is tracked separately.
Step 3
Close the information gaps
Each request shows a completeness score and a list of what is still missing, with the reason it matters for supplier selection.
- Missing budget, capacity, standards or deadline slows manufacturer research the most.
- The portal explains why each field changes the outcome instead of just flagging it.
- You can update details at any time before offers are collected.
Step 4
Human review of the project
A person reads every request. Nothing is routed by an automated matching engine and no contact details are released during review.
- Statuses run Received → In review → In dialogue → Qualified → Active engagement.
- We may call you to confirm scope, budget realism and timing.
- Structured routing and financing discussions generally start around USD 250,000 and above.
Step 5
Manufacturer research and applications
Once qualified, an anonymised version of your requirement is opened to approved manufacturers. Your identity stays private throughout.
- Manufacturers apply against the structured requirement with scope, lead time and indicative budget.
- Applications are compared on a normalised basis, not by who replied first.
- Price is weighed alongside lead time, warranty, service network and references.
Step 6
Controlled introduction and tracking
Only after internal approval is a shortlisted manufacturer introduced to you, and clarification runs with our team present.
- The portal shows the current stage and the date of the last action.
- Applications, Agent Code requests and RFQ history stay in one place.
- You are never added to a supplier mailing list and your data is not sold.
Buyer questions
- Does the buyer portal cost anything?
- No. Registration, RFQ submission, status tracking and human review are free for buyers. Commercial fees sit on the supplier side and only after a transaction closes.
- Will manufacturers see my company name?
- No. Requirements opened to approved manufacturers are anonymised. Your identity and contact details are only shared after you approve an introduction.
- What project size is relevant?
- Structured review, routing and financing discussions generally start around USD 250,000 and above. Smaller enquiries are recorded but are not prioritised for supplier routing.
- How long does a project stay in review?
- It depends on how complete the request is. Requests with budget, capacity, standards and a deadline move into manufacturer research fastest; incomplete requests stay in review until the gaps are closed.
Open your buyer account
Register once, submit the project through the RFQ builder and follow every stage from review to controlled introduction in one private dashboard.
This guide describes a process, not a commercial commitment. Submissions are not orders and do not create a contract. Global B2B Group is not a lender and makes no credit decisions.
