FAQ

What to know before you submit.

What information do I need to submit?

Send us whatever you have — a supplier name, invoice, quote, part number, drawing, specification sheet, photo, product description or purchase information.

The more detail you provide, the more precisely we can compare replacement options.

What kinds of products can QuoteAcquire source?

QuoteAcquire is designed primarily for commercial and industrial sourcing — including equipment, components, materials, replacement parts, consumables and MRO supplies.

If you're unsure whether your requirement is a fit, submit it and we'll review it.

How long does the process take?

Requests are handled promptly and in a timely manner.

Timing depends on the product, specifications, quantities, supplier availability and complexity of the sourcing requirement.

Are the alternatives always Canadian?

Not necessarily.

We take a Canadian-first approach where practical, while also considering qualified international suppliers when they offer a stronger commercial or operational alternative.

The objective is to find the best replacement options for the Canadian customer.

How do tariffs factor into the comparison?

Where relevant, QuoteAcquire considers country of origin, potential tariff exposure, freight and other commercial factors when estimating landed cost.

Tariff treatment and customs classification can depend on the specific product and circumstances. Final HS classification, duties and import treatment should be confirmed by the importer or their customs broker before purchasing.

What do I receive?

You receive a decision-ready comparison of the strongest alternatives we identify.

Depending on the request, the comparison may include:

  • Supplier
  • Product or specification match
  • Price
  • Country of origin
  • Tariff considerations
  • Freight
  • Lead time
  • Commercial terms
  • Estimated landed cost

The goal is to make the alternatives easy to compare before you make a purchasing decision.

Do I have to switch suppliers?

No.

QuoteAcquire gives you alternatives and commercial information so you can make the decision.

You may choose to switch suppliers, negotiate with your current supplier, investigate an option further or keep your existing source.

What happens after I submit a request?

We review the information you provide and assess the sourcing requirement.

If additional specifications or clarification are needed, we contact you using the work email submitted with the request.

From there, we begin the supplier-replacement search.
