I have an industrial project or a procurement problem. How do I move forward?
The layer above the equipment market. Define the requirement, write a specification suppliers can price, issue one comparable RFQ, evaluate the counterparties, and finance the project — before deciding which supplier or which specialist platform you need.
Start from the problem
Each page solves the procurement problem first, then points to the tool or the specialist platform that carries it forward.
Usually a specification problem before it is a sourcing problem.
Different scopes, different Incoterms, different exclusions — same spreadsheet.
Specify the outcome and the constraints. Let suppliers propose the machine.
The quoted price is rarely the landed cost.
Bankability starts in the RFQ, not at the bank.
For EPC contractors, project developers and integrated operators.
Specification, supplier, payment, delivery, quality, and schedule.
Most lost time is upstream of the purchase order.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Industrial Procurement Intelligence Center?
It is the top-level, supplier-neutral entry point of Global B2B Group for companies that have an industrial project or a procurement problem but have not yet decided on the equipment, the supplier or the sourcing route. It covers planning, specification, RFQ, supplier evaluation, procurement risk, international purchasing and financing, and routes sector-specific requirements to the specialist platform that owns them.
How is it different from the specialist platforms?
The specialist platforms — ColdMatch, FishMatch, HatchMatch, SeedMatch and FeedMatch — answer the technical question of which system or equipment a sector requires. Global B2B Group answers the question before it: I have a project or a procurement problem, how do I move forward. Technical, equipment-level content stays on the specialist platform rather than being duplicated here.
Is any of this a supplier directory?
No. Global B2B Group does not rank, certify or endorse manufacturers, and never states that a supplier has been verified unless that verification has actually taken place. It provides the buyer-side structure — planning tools, specification method, RFQ, evaluation criteria and financing pathways.
What does it cost buyers?
The planning tools, RFQ Builder, guides, checklists and financing information are free for buyers.
