RFQ is published on Twitter and can be opened as pdf-file by anyone
Quotes can be received from suppliers that are not known yet
The RFQs published on Twitter contain a detailed description of what exactly is needed by the buying company
The RFQs can be seen by any interested company in the world who have an Evernote account
They can use the provided contact information such as e-mail or phone to get in contact with the buyer
By this the buyer gets in contact with potentially new suppliers he didn’t know before
In addition the hastag #rfq allows companies to easily find RFQs from different suppliers on Twitter, e.g. by using an RSS feed
Beside Twitter this scenario also works with Facebook, Google Buzz and all other social media websites supported by Tarpipe
With Tarpipe you can even publish it on all those sites at once
