Publishing a request
A purchase request is your structured demand for a chemical product or supply need. Publishing one lets relevant suppliers discover and respond to it.
To create a request, sign in, open your workspace, and start a new purchase request. You can also start from a compound page to prefill the product details.
Fields that improve matching
The more precise your request, the better the matches:
- CAS number — strongly recommended. It helps ensure accurate matching to the right compound instead of a similarly named one.
- Purchase volume band — helps suppliers judge fit and respond faster.
- Specifications and use — purity, grade, packaging, and intended use where relevant.
What happens next
Relevant suppliers can respond with a supply offer. Matches you accept become matched requests, managed inside your workspace.
