"One RFQ – excellent quotes - top results"
"I placed my first Easy-RFQ on Techpilot within a few minutes. After a couple of days I had some very good quotes in my e-mail account and finally I found a new regular supplier, who was not only economically and qualitatively convincing, but also based in my area. The result of the RFQ satisfied me entirely."

"Techpilot always keeps it simple!"
"Our parts are quite complex and therefore an RFQ often raises many questions. Fortunately, Mr. Semin at Techpilot is able to clarify most of them in advance. He helps me to finalize my RFQs, so that no further issues arise for suppliers. In this way, I get offers and parts much faster. "
