Frequently Asked Questions
Who is NaviSpare for?
NaviSpare is built for maritime procurement teams sourcing urgent or difficult-to-find spare parts, and for qualified suppliers looking to access real, high-intent RFQs from the global shipping industry.
How does NaviSpare work?
Buyers submit a single RFQ with their part requirements, specifications, urgency and delivery needs. Relevant suppliers receive the request, submit structured offers, and buyers compare bids, communicate directly, and award the best option.
What types of parts can be sourced through NaviSpare?
NaviSpare is designed specifically for difficult sourcing cases — including obsolete, surplus, reconditioned, non-OEM, secondhand, and hard-to-find marine spare parts. Standard RFQs are also welcome.
How quickly can suppliers respond?
Most RFQs begin receiving bids within hours, depending on urgency, part availability, and supplier coverage.
Who can become a supplier?
Any legitimate marine spare parts supplier, trader, stockist, workshop, or reconditioning specialist can apply to join the platform.
Is NaviSpare free to use?
Posting RFQs is currently free for buyers. Suppliers receive a free trial period with full platform access before any subscription begins.
How are payments handled?
NaviSpare facilitates sourcing, bidding, and communication. Commercial transactions, invoicing, and payments are handled directly between buyers and suppliers.
Does NaviSpare verify suppliers?
NaviSpare reserves the right to perform legitimacy and compliance checks on supplier accounts, including VAT and company verification, in order to help maintain platform quality and trust.
Can buyers and suppliers communicate directly?
Yes. Once a supplier submits a bid, both parties can communicate directly through the platform's built-in messaging system linked to the RFQ.
Why use NaviSpare instead of traditional sourcing methods?
Traditional sourcing often means contacting suppliers one by one, waiting for replies, and restarting the process when stock is unavailable. NaviSpare replaces that friction with one structured RFQ that reaches multiple relevant suppliers simultaneously — reducing sourcing time and increasing visibility of available options.
