More Relevant RFQs: How Your Partfox Profile Works Instantly

Visibility determines success. With the October update 2025, your profile becomes a real-time visibility driver. Machines, technologies, and capabilities are now instantly searchable - giving you faster access to relevant RFQs and better matches. Why does that matter? Because only those who are visible get invited. And only those who get found, win new business. In this article, you’ll learn how to optimize your profile in just a few minutes - and unlock measurable results.

More visibility, better RFQs - how you benefit right away

With the update, your Partfox manufacturer profile becomes a true competitive edge. As soon as you update machines, technologies, or capabilities, those changes take effect in real time - making you instantly visible for relevant RFQs.

In the new matching system, every detail counts. Those who describe what they offer with precision are found more accurately - and receive RFQs that truly fit their capabilities.

And responding to RFQs just got faster, too: Our offer module has been thoroughly optimized. Large inquiries can now be handled more quickly and more reliably - saving time, reducing errors, and increasing your chances of winning the job.

The numbers behind the update - what’s changed

This update is more than cosmetic - it’s built on a major expansion of the Partfox Machine Index:

  • Over 30,000 existing machine entries have been revised, and more than 2,000 new models have been added. That means a much higher match rate.
  • Axes, dimensions, and specifications are now not only stored - they’re fully integrated into the search and filter logic.
  • As soon as you update your profile, changes go live instantly - a  big plus when timing matters.
  • The offer module also benefits from the update: Large RFQs can now be processed more reliably and efficiently - saving valuable time in internal workflows and enabling you to submit a complete and compelling offer more quickly. And that can make all the difference in a competitive bidding process.

What does this mean for buyers?

The better supplier profiles are maintained, the more efficient your sourcing becomes. Thanks to real-time updates, you can now see machine parks, axes, technologies, and capabilities immediately and in full - no need for follow-ups, no delays. This improves your shortlist quality, reduces mismatches, and accelerates the entire RFQ process.

Conclusion

Profile maintenance pays off.
The more up-to-date and detailed your profile is, the better the matching results. Even small updates - such as machines, technologies, materials or manufacturing preferences - can make a noticeable difference.
