How this project moved from a first enquiry to a comparable RFQ
Every FishMatch project follows the same five stages. Nothing is sourced until a person has reviewed the brief, and supplier identities stay confidential until the buyer decides to engage.
- 01
Initial enquiry
The buyer described a feeding project in Chile in a few lines — species or product, target output and site situation — without naming or contacting a single supplier.
Result · A confidential brief in the FishMatch desk, acknowledged the same day.
- 02
Brief review
FishMatch read the brief before any sourcing began, listed the missing decisions and separated what was fixed from what was still an assumption.
Result · An agreed project definition: system type, production model and the constraints that change equipment selection.
- 03
Sizing and numbers
Duty figures were established for the feeding scope — load, water treatment, aeration or oxygenation, flow and energy — so equipment was specified from numbers rather than catalogue models.
Result · A sizing basis every supplier quotes against, using the same assumptions.
- 04
Structured RFQ
The scope was split into lots (feed barges with silos, blowers and pipework to each cage and the rest of the package) and issued as one RFQ with identical questions to each shortlisted manufacturer.
Result · Comparable offers on one sheet: scope, exclusions, lead time and commissioning support.
- 05
Review and handoff
Offers were normalised, deviations declared, and only then were introductions made manually — supplier identities were held by FishMatch throughout.
Result · Reference scope used to compare feeding automation suppliers on control architecture, service coverage and warranty.
