How does it work?

PartsTrader is an online tendering system. Unlike a parts location system it enables buyers to get multiple confidential quotes from suppliers. This means the buyer can always choose the best combination of price, delivery time, and quality. PartsTrader is an easy to use website - no special software is required.

The actual legal sale of parts still occurs directly between the buyer and supplier - PartsTraders role is to match suppliers with buyers and facilitate agreement on delivery, quality and price.
