How to set up: Are you a buyer?
You can onboard your suppliers using one of four methods:
1. If your supplier is a 3D Spark user, they can share live pricing data with your organization.
2. You can leverage historical quotes from your supplier to train a price estimation model, effectively creating a virtual representation of that supplier.
3. If your supplier is not using 3D Spark but has their own pricing tool, it can be integrated with 3D Spark for seamless access.
4. If you prefer, you can send RFQs to your supplier with one-click without prior pricing information.
