Profile Membership

The Profile Membership is for large or small Suppliers looking to be searchable in the First Index marketplace. These shops are not actively pursuing new business development but do want to be considered by medium and large OEMs. Since many OEMs of all sizes exclusively post RFQs on the First Index platform, this becomes your only opportunity to be seen and considered for RFQs by a significant number of companies seeking your capabilities.  If you are interested in doing business with those companies with which First Index has sourcing contracts, it is much more likely that you’ll be considered by them if you at least have a Profile Membership.

Your Bottom Line

As a savvy Supplier, you need to know where the work is and how to get it.  First Index is the most trusted and largest marketplace for custom-made parts.  Be part of the action.

Why Does First Index get the most and highest quality RFQs?

We get RFQs 2 ways: Research and the PRO Platform. Both are built on business-to-business and person-to-person relationships.

Our Research Department, made up of sourcing experts, goes after RFQs by contacting thousands of manufacturers yearly. Researchers talk to buyers, procurement managers, engineers, owners and others with purchasing responsibilities. We offer them a better way to source custom parts. We learn what they buy, what they want to improve and what sourcing changes they are considering.  Prints, specifications and job descriptions are sent directly to our Members.  Members will then directly contact the Buyers after consulting the Researcher responsible for the job.

Our PRO Platform is considered an “eRFX” solution for buying organizations in middle and large market OEMs who typically spend at least $50MM per year in custom made components.  These companies have sourcing contracts with First Index, and therefore are highly motivated to award work to First Index Members that are a fit.
