How to Request Supplier Quotes on Science Exchange

Getting a quote from a supplier shouldn't mean chasing down five different email threads. This walkthrough shows a scientist searching the Science Exchange Marketplace, adding an item to their cart, and requesting a competitive bid from multiple suppliers at once, so they can compare price, quality, and speed before committing to anyone.

The best part is the intake. Instead of filling out a separate form for every supplier, the scientist completes one request form that reaches every supplier in the cart at the same time. From there, suppliers respond directly to start the quote conversation, so less time goes to paperwork and more time goes to the research itself.
