How it works for suppliers

Get an upfront, market-aligned price for standard sheet materials in seconds — before speaking to anyone.

How it Works for Suppliers

Materials Hive is designed to protect supplier time and pricing.
Buyers see prices upfront, and enquiries are only passed to you after price acceptance — no speculative RFQs, no wasted quotes.

Step 1 – Set Your Pricing

You provide pricing for standard sheet materials by grade and thickness. You stay fully in control — update or withdraw pricing at any time.

Step 2 – Instant Prices, No Admin

Our pricing engine calculates prices instantly for buyers using your approved pricing rules. Prices are shown upfront, before any enquiry is sent.

Step 3 – Only Serious Buyers Get Through

Buyers can only proceed if they accept the displayed price. No acceptance, no enquiry. This ensures you only receive requests that are commercially viable.

Step 4 – You Close the Order

Once a buyer proceeds, their details are passed directly to you. You confirm final pricing, agree terms, and fulfil the order as normal.

If a buyer isn’t willing to accept the price, they never reach you.
