    Post one request and compare verified quotes side by side.

    T57 solves the slow, inconsistent way food is sourced and quoted, for buyers who need reliable supply and sellers who want serious, verified enquiries.

    The problem

    Quotes you cannot compare

    Food sourcing still runs on emails, calls and messaging apps. A buyer describes what it needs differently to each supplier, and quotes come back in different units, currencies and Incoterms. Comparing them takes days, and the agreed terms are then retyped into a contract and purchase order, often with errors. Sellers, meanwhile, spend hours answering enquiries from buyers they cannot check. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Quotes you cannot compare

    Different formats, units and terms make it hard to see which offer is truly best.

    Unverified parties

    Buyers and sellers often cannot confirm who is on the other side, or whether they are the producer or an intermediary.

    Errors between quote and contract

    Retyping terms into contracts and orders creates mismatches that surface at the bank, the port or the warehouse.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    Riyadh supermarket chain sources local dairy and imported rice in one place

    A Riyadh supermarket chain uses T57 for both domestic and imported supply. It sets a recurring RFQ for fresh laban and yoghurt, which verified Saudi dairies bid on each month, and a quarterly RFQ for basmati rice, which draws bids from verified processors in India and Pakistan. The category team compares each round against price data, awards contracts in a few clicks, and pays local suppliers through escrow and the rice exporter through an LC, all from the same records.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    How long does an RFQ stay open?

    The buyer sets the deadline. Bids received after it closes are not shown unless the buyer reopens the RFQ.

    Can I negotiate after receiving bids?

    Yes. You can ask clarifying questions or request a revised bid from any supplier before you award the contract.

    Can sellers create offers without an RFQ?

    Yes. Verified sellers can publish product listings and wholesale terms that buyers can respond to directly.
