Frequently Asked Questions

For Buyers

What is ZeozGig?

ZeozGig is a 0% commission RFQ marketplace where businesses can request quotations from suppliers. Instead of contacting multiple suppliers individually, buyers can submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) describing the work they need and receive responses from suppliers capable of producing it. Once a buyer and supplier connect, they conduct business directly with each other.

Why use ZeozGig instead of a traditional marketplace?

Traditional marketplaces often charge commissions on every job. ZeozGig operates differently. Businesses connect directly and keep 100% of the revenue from their work, while the platform operates using small credit-based actions instead of transaction fees.

Who should use ZeozGig as a buyer?

ZeozGig is designed for organisations that regularly source products or services through quotations, including:

How do I request a quote?

The process is simple:

  2. Submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) describing the job
  3. Suppliers receive the opportunity
  4. Interested suppliers respond with quotations

You can then select the supplier that best fits your requirements.

Do I have to pay to request quotes?

Posting RFQs requires small platform credits. Credits help ensure RFQs come from genuine businesses and reduce spam or automated submissions.

How many suppliers will respond to my RFQ?
