RFQ Süreci ve Yanıt SLA

This page explains how buyer RFQs are validated, routed and monitored on Airspring. It is the operational contract for response quality and turnaround time.

1. RFQ intake and validation

We validate core fields (buyer identity, part number, application, quantity and requirements). Incomplete or ambiguous RFQs may be held for clarification before supplier routing.

2. Supplier matching

Matching considers category fit, OEM cross-reference relevance, incoterms, payment terms, export regions, and document verification level. RFQs are sent to a focused shortlist rather than broad broadcast.

3. Response SLA tracking

Supplier response times are monitored against the platform target of first response within 24 hours. Repeated non-response affects supplier visibility and trust scoring.

4. Technical verification before order

OEM cross-reference indicates potential interchangeability only. Final fitment must be confirmed with dimensions, load/stroke characteristics, mounting interface and connection type.
