Issue an RFQ – Anvyl

Anvyl has an open marketplace in which we allow brands to issue RFQs. Our goal through the RFQ process is to partner you will world-class suppliers. Upon issuance of an RFQ, the general turnaround time is 48 business hours during which you may receive a quotation, feedback, or any questions pertaining to the issued RFQ. We want to ensure you have a great experience with these suppliers and will share and make introductions to the supplier contacts as soon as possible. Ultimately these are your suppliers, are responsible for the relationship, and should be treated as you would when onboarding any new supplier to your organization.
