Network Requests allow buyers to share their material needs directly with their links (via Private Requests) or with the entire Matium Network (via Public Requests).
Suppliers can then browse all active demand on the platform including Private Requests shared directly with them and Public Requests shared with the entire Network. They can respond to any request with a material offer that will be shared privately with the buyer.
Buyers and suppliers can negotiate the price and other terms of an offer. Offers are not final until accepted by the buyer and then confirmed by the supplier. Once confirmed, all contact information for both buyer and supplier will be shared with the other party.
Note that for Public Requests, buyers and suppliers may be asked to complete a credit application. This is to facilitate payments and insure transactions on the platform.
