Buyer Questions Answered
Q1. What problem does Proqure solve for buyers?
A. Proqure helps buyers find the right supplier for a precise steel requirement, not just any supplier. It brings structure to specifications, improves price discovery, and reduces dependence on informal calls and WhatsApp follow-ups.
Q2. How is Proqure different from platforms like IndiaMART?
A. IndiaMART helps you discover sellers. Proqure helps you close deals cleanly. RFQs are specification-driven, suppliers are matched algorithmically, and transactions move through negotiation, PO, and tracking — not just leads.
Q3. Can I raise very specific or rare size requirements?
A. Yes. Proqure is designed for microscopic specifications — material, shape, size, thickness, BIS standards, finish, quantity units, and more. Rare or non-standard requirements become visible instead of getting lost.
Q4. How do I know if a supplier is trustworthy?
A. Proqure shows behavioural trust signals, not guarantees. You can see how suppliers have performed historically — delivery consistency, quality issues, dispute behaviour — so you can make informed decisions. Learn more on our How Trust Works page.
Q5. Does Proqure guarantee quality or delivery?
A. No. Proqure does not replace your judgment. It provides structured visibility and history so you can assess risk clearly, just as experienced traders do offline. See How Trust Works to understand our behavioral trust approach.
Q6. Why doesn't Proqure use escrow or hold payments?
A. Steel trade runs on relationships and routine credit. Escrow changes behaviour and adds friction. Proqure focuses on making trust visible, not replacing it with financial intermediaries. Read more about our philosophy on the How Trust Works page.
Q7. What happens if there is a dispute?
A. Disputes are structured and recorded, not hidden. This helps both parties resolve issues more clearly and builds long-term trust history for future transactions.
Q8. Is Proqure expensive for buyers?
A. No. Buyer access is free or negligible. Proqure's goal is to improve buying outcomes, not tax demand.
Q9. Can I use Proqure via WhatsApp?
A. Yes. Proqure is WhatsApp-native. RFQs and interactions follow the way steel trade already works, without forcing new habits.
Q10. Will using Proqure reduce my negotiation power?
A. No. In fact, structured RFQs usually increase price competition and reduce ambiguity, giving buyers stronger negotiating positions.
Q11. What steel products does Proqure cover?
A. We're starting with steel pipes (round, SHS, RHS in Black/GI/GP) and expanding to other steel products based on demand and our ability to maintain quality.
Q12. Do I need to download an app?
A. No. You can use Proqure via WhatsApp or web browser. No app installation required.
Proqure does not remove risk.
It makes trust visible — so good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour becomes expensive.
