Platform Overview
About Request Parts
Request Parts is a smart B2B platform for sourcing parts fast. Whether you need electronic components, auto parts, tools, or industrial supplies, we connect requesters with verified distributors across Europe. Post a request, compare real-time offers, and choose the best option by delivery time, country, and price — all in one place.
Our mission is to eliminate the back-and-forth of sourcing: one request, multiple qualified offers, transparent comparisons, and a direct line to the right supplier.
How It Works
- Create a request: Add brand, model, specs, quantity, urgency, images, and target countries. Post a request.
- Receive offers: Verified distributors respond with price, stock, ETA, and shipping options.
- Compare & choose: Side-by-side comparison by delivery time, location, and total cost.
- Contact & confirm: Message the distributor, finalize terms, and proceed to purchase.
