How It Works

From finding a vendor to a completed order

Buyers and vendors each work from one company account. Here’s every step, start to finish.

For buyers

1

Create a free account

A work email and a password — that's it. No fees for buyers, ever.

2

Browse the marketplace

Search verified vendors by category and location, or browse to see what’s out there.

3

Message a vendor, or request a quote

Send a direct message, or a structured request with your quantity, timeline and budget.

4

Compare quotes side by side

See price, lead time and terms from every vendor you reached out to, in one place.

5

Award the vendor you choose

Your contact details stay private until you award — vendors never see each other’s quotes.

6

Track the order to completion

Once the vendor accepts, you’ll always know what’s next — no guessing where things stand.

For vendors

1

Create your company profile

Tell us what you do, where you work, and the qualifications you hold.

2

Get verified

The NXT//LINK team reviews every vendor before they can list — nothing goes live unchecked.

3

Build your listings

Describe what you offer, your pricing, and your capabilities.

4

Listings are reviewed, then go live

Same review as your profile — buyers only ever see approved listings.

5

Respond to buyers

Messages and quote requests land in your inbox. Answer directly, or send a quote.

6

Accept the award, do the job

Accepting creates the order and starts the job. NXT//LINK takes a commission on completed orders — buyers never pay a platform fee.
