With the new supplier module, Hyfindr, the innovative B2B platform for the hydrogen industry, has set another milestone in accelerating purchasing processes in the hydrogen industry and improving transparency in the supply chain.
The approach: radically simplify purchasing processes
The hydrogen industry is growing, but companies often lack transparency about potential suppliers and their products. This is where the supplier module comes in: It enables users to send inquiries to all relevant suppliers in a product category with just a few clicks. This tool was specially developed to simplify the time-consuming process of researching and contacting suppliers.
The module also offers great advantages for suppliers: they receive qualified inquiries from their target group and can contact potential customers efficiently.
Data quality as a basis
Hyfindr draws on a comprehensive, regularly updated database for the module, which brings together information from various sources such as companies, publicly available data and industry experts. A strict quality process ensures that the data is always up-to-date and valid.
Use of the Supplier Module as a Buyer
The procedure is very simple:
- Registration: The use of the supplier module requires the user to log in and the company to register.
- Inquiry form:
- After logging in, the user selects the product category for which a request is to be made.
- The user can limit his request to suppliers in certain countries.
- The user can also select only certain suppliers from the supplier list, thus further restricting the request.
- Enter the number of products needed and the delivery location. You also need to specify by when you need the delivery and the offers.
- The description of the specification is of paramount importance. We recommend giving precise details of what is required and for what purpose. The more detailed the information is, the more likely it is that suppliers will submit offers that meet the requirements. So if possible, be more detailed rather than too brief.
- You can enclose an attachment with your request.
- Inquiry check: Hyfindr checks the inquiry to ensure that it is serious. Only if it is a serious request will Hyfindr forward the request to the selected suppliers.
- Dispatch: After approval, the request is automatically forwarded to the selected suppliers.
- Receipt of offers: Hyfindr will inform the selected suppliers about your request. Please note that it is up to the suppliers whether they reply. It is therefore possible that you will not receive a response from all suppliers. You can view the offers received in your user account.
Advantages of the Supplier Module for Suppliers
Hyfindr has carefully analyzed the product range of suppliers. As a supplier, you benefit from being listed on Hyfindr in the relevant category. We have three types of listed companies.
- Companies that already present their products on the B2B marketplace. These companies are always presented first in the supplier module. It is also possible for users of the platform to analyze the products offered by these suppliers on Hyfindr. Customers can request very specific offers (Pro Listing)
- Companies that do not yet present their products on the B2B marketplace, but for whom it is important to be listed in the supplier module with their website (Base Listing)
- Companies that are not yet represented on the B2B marketplace.
Hyfindr recommends that any company offering high-quality products in the hydrogen industry opens a vendor account with Hyfindr, or take over an existing account. This gives you the opportunity to specify exactly what kind of products you offer. With a Pro Listing you increase your visibility significantly; as a minimum we recommend a Basic Listing. Create a free vendor account to find out about the listing options or contact Hyfindr. We look forward to the exchange.

What should I do as a Supplier when I receive inquiries?
If your company already presents your products on Hyfindr, you can conveniently answer your inquiries in your vendor account with your team. If your company does not yet have a vendor account, you will first need to create one in order to process the inquiries. If you have any questions, please contact Hyfindr
Is use of the supplier module free of charge?
Hyfindr offers companies the opportunity to test the supplier module free of charge. Both buyers and suppliers can initially use three inquiries or responses free of charge. Thereafter, an annual fee is charged, but this remains manageable in view of the increase in efficiency achieved. With a corresponding user license, your company secures access to a constantly evolving database from Hyfindr. Once your company has acquired a user license, numerous people in your company can use the supplier module without incurring further license costs; this is an advantage for development and purchasing departments, for example, where different people are constantly searching for products.
Conclusion
Hyfindr's supplier module aims to accelerate the procurement process in the hydrogen industry. With a clear focus on efficiency, transparency and ease of use, it enables buyers and suppliers to optimize their business processes and unlock new potential. Companies are invited to test the tool and become part of this forward-looking approach.
