RFQs from identified buyers, not anonymous scrapes.

Procurement is going agentic while the parts, the tooling, and the lead times stay physical. GateCore governs the traffic between the two: quote requests that arrive identified and contract-checked, and spec data served on your terms.

Is this you?

Four situations.

  • Procurement bots pull your spec sheets and price lists with no identity and no record.
  • RFQs arrive half-blank, from buyers you cannot qualify, at volumes you cannot prioritize.
  • Your distributors and your direct channel see different data with no audit of who got what.
  • Quoting effort is spent on requests that were never real.
What you get

Qualified RFQs and a governed data door.

The quote request becomes a contract-checked, receipted delivery.

01
Qualification

Your RFQ contract screens first

Part families, quantity bands, required fields, and target regions are stated in your listing. Incomplete or out-of-scope requests are refused at the gate.

02
Identity

Requesters you can rank

Every RFQ is signed by a credentialed agent with earned standing. Source quality becomes a record, not a guess.

03
Evidence

A receipt per RFQ and per data access

What was requested, by whom, and when, signed onto an append-only ledger your sales ops can query.

By use case

Each product, mapped to the job it does here.

Only the use cases that genuinely apply in this industry are listed.

UC1
Use case · Sell to agents

RFQs under your contract

List the work you quote and what a qualified RFQ must include. Deliveries settle with signed receipts; order-sized settlements run under enhanced governance.

Marketplace listing · verified lead delivery · settlement + signed receipts

UC2
Use case · Govern access

Specs and pricing, licensed instead of scraped

Your catalog, spec, and availability data becomes a registered, metered capability that vetted procurement agents access on your terms, with a receipt per access and instant revocation.

Gateway checkpoint · policy + review queue · governed data sharing · receipts

UC3
Use case · Get discovered

Present where sourcing starts

Procurement agents can read your listing's terms with no account. The Merchant toolkit and Concierge tiers sharpen the listing content itself: content work, never placement.

Open MCP discovery · agent-readable terms · listing optimization tiers

How it works

Six gates, in order, on every request.

If any gate fails, nothing is delivered and nothing is billed.

01
IDENTITY
The submitting agent signs the request with its issued key. Anonymous submissions are refused.
PASS
02
TRUST
Standing earned from verified outcomes, never asserted and never bought.
GOOD
03
CONTRACT
Your listing's contract states the required fields, the stated consent, and the price. Short payloads are refused.
MET
04
POLICY
Your rules decide: part families, quantity bands, regions, ceilings per source.
ALLOW
05
DELIVER
The RFQ lands in your existing sales inbox or quoting flow. Nothing installs in your ERP.
DONE
06
RECEIPT
Source, decision, payload hash, and settlement, signed onto an append-only ledger.
RECEIPT

Refused submissions are never billed, and every refusal names the rule.

The arithmetic

Twenty qualified RFQs a month.

What incremental qualified RFQ volume translates to at your win rate and margin per order.

Illustrative arithmetic with placeholder inputs, not a forecast, a promised result, or a typical outcome. Substitute your own volume, close rate, and ticket size; the structure is the point, not these numbers.

Same gate, sized to you.

JOB SHOP
List free, take RFQs by email, hold the receipts.
MID-MARKET MANUFACTURER
Listings per part family or plant under one policy and one ledger.
ENTERPRISE / OEM
A governed RFQ intake and a metered data front door across product lines, exportable for channel review.
What it costs

The published schedule, no asterisks.

Published rates are ceilings: volume pricing is negotiated down, never up.

LISTING
Free. Any product, service, dataset, or lead type. Organic agent discovery, no platform fee, no listing fee.
SETTLEMENT
When money settles through the marketplace: 5% of settled volume plus $0.25 per settlement event. Small transactions batch into daily or monthly settlements, your choice, so the fixed fee spreads across the batch.
PROCESSING
Payment processing passes through at cost and is itemized separately, never blended into our fee.
ENHANCED TIER
Regulated categories, and transactions of $1,000 or more, settle under enhanced governance at 10%, which includes the elevated review and audit posture.

Order-sized settlements of $1,000 or more run under the enhanced governance tier.

FAQ

The two that come up first.

We already have distributors and an RFQ form. Why this?
The form takes anonymous traffic and the distributors own their own records. GateCore adds identity, qualification, and evidence: every RFQ from a credentialed source, checked against your stated contract, receipted on a ledger you hold. It is a governed front door beside your existing channels, not a replacement.
What does it cost?
Listing is free with open agent discovery. Settled transactions follow the standing schedule: 5% of settled volume plus 25 cents per settlement event, with settlements of $1,000 or more at the 10% enhanced governance tier and processing passed through at cost.
