The procurement reality
Fit-out sourcing is slow, opaque and hard to compare. We fix all three.
Pain
Buyers don't always know how to write a complete RFQ
Guided RFQ builder closes the technical and commercial gaps suppliers ask about.
Pain
Apples-to-oranges proposals impossible to compare
Every offer normalised: price, lead time, transport, install, warranty, payment terms.
Pain
Opaque intermediary layers, no price discovery
More direct supplier access where possible — and a structured competitive process when it helps.
How it works
Four steps from a rough scope to a contract you can defend.
- 01
Build a professional RFQ
Upload your layout, scope and constraints. Our guided builder closes the technical and commercial gaps that usually slow suppliers down — load class, finishes, incoterms, install responsibility, warranty scope.
- 02
Reach the right suppliers
We route the RFQ to qualified European manufacturers and service partners — filtered by category, geography and current capacity. Reducing intermediary layers where possible.
- 03
Compare on total value
All offers land in one normalised view: product, delivery, transport, installation, warranty, payment terms, supplier reliability. Not just sticker price.
- 04
Award — or run a structured competition
Award the best offer outright, or run a transparent RFQ / reverse-auction round to sharpen price, delivery and service terms. Decision trail is exportable.

AI-assisted matching & structured competition
The price-discovery layer manual sourcing never reaches.
ProfiCircle reads your brief, identifies suppliers with proven delivery in your category and geography, and — where useful — runs a structured competitive round. Buyers stay in control of the rules; suppliers compete on a level field. The aim is better total value, not the lowest sticker price.
AI Matching
Suppliers ranked across 30+ dimensions in seconds.
Category fit, geographic coverage, current capacity, certifications, past on-time delivery, financial health. The brief reaches the right shortlist on the first pass.
- Guided RFQ builder closes scope gaps before suppliers see the brief
- Supplier matching across category fit, capacity, certifications and delivery history
- Optional reverse-auction round with anti-sniping and price-floor controls
- Procurement-grade audit trail for compliance, finance and approvals
Reverse Auctions
Compress price by 5–25% in a single transparent round.
Anti-sniping, price floors, full audit trail. Buyers control the rules; suppliers compete on a level field.

Exportable decision summary
Total value, not list price
Compare what actually lands on your dock — and what it costs over 10 years.
A low sticker price becomes an expensive project when freight, install, certification, warranty and service aren't on the same page. ProfiCircle forces every offer to expose the full picture so you can decide on total value, not headline price.
Product & technical fit
Like-for-like on load class, finish, accessories, code compliance — not just SKU code.
Delivery time
Realistic lead times, milestone visibility, penalty terms for slippage.
Transport & logistics
Incoterm, freight, insurance, unload responsibility, on-site lift.
Installation
Day rate, mobilisation, snag-list, sign-off, protective fitments.
Quality & warranty
Years, scope, what voids it, response time on warranty claims.
Service & inspection
Annual EN 15635 inspection cost, response SLA, spare-parts pricing.
Supplier reliability
Financial health, references, on-time delivery history, capacity headroom.
Payment terms
Deposit / milestone / retention — and the working-capital impact.
Margin transparency
More direct supplier access where possible — reduced intermediary layers, not aggressive 'no margin' claims.
Equipment & energy categories
All categories Source the full warehouse, store and industrial fit-out stack — equipment and energy infrastructure — in one place.
Solar PV & Energy Storage
Rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems, battery storage, inverters and EPC partners for warehouses, stores and industrial sites.
Pallet Racks
Selective, drive-in, push-back, double-deep systems from EU manufacturers.
Light Picking
Shelving and bin systems for high-frequency, low-weight SKUs.
Material Handling
Conveyors, sorters, AMR/AGV integration and automation.
Cantilever
Long-load storage for pipes, timber, profiles and panels.
Mezzanine
Multi-tier structural platforms engineered to local code.
Solar PV & Energy Storage
Compare commercial solar and storage offers on what actually matters.
For rooftop PV, ground-mounted systems and battery storage, ProfiCircle normalises every supplier proposal so total project value is comparable line-by-line.

FAQ
What procurement teams ask first.
Don't see your question? Talk to procurement →
- How fast do offers actually arrive?
- First offers typically arrive within about 3 working days, depending on category complexity and supplier availability. A complete, comparable shortlist usually lands within roughly a week.
- Will I really pay less than going direct to a dealer?
- Not always — and we're careful not to claim it. What ProfiCircle does is give you more direct supplier access where possible, reduce unnecessary intermediary layers, and make total cost (product + transport + install + warranty + service) transparent so you can compare like-for-like. In published case studies, the auction module has delivered 15–50% budget savings depending on category.
- Who pays — buyer or supplier?
- Buyers use ProfiCircle free. Suppliers pay a performance-based fee only on contracts they actually win. No subscriptions, no listing fees.
- What happens to my project data?
- Briefs are visible only to invited, qualified suppliers. NDAs are templated and signed in-platform. You stay in control of who sees what.
- Do you cover installation, certification and energy infrastructure?
- Yes. Design, install, EN 15635 inspection partners — and solar EPC, battery storage and grid-connection providers — sit alongside equipment manufacturers in the same RFQ, so total value is comparable end-to-end.
Stop chasing suppliers. Start receiving comparable offers.
Upload a brief in about 10 minutes. We help structure the RFQ, route it to qualified European suppliers, and bring the offers back in one comparable view.
