Component Website Phase 1: RFQ Desk or Full Mall?
Key takeaways
- Most distributors should ship an RFQ site first: searchable MPNs, readable params, on-page RFQ
- Cart, payment, and full ERP wait
- A standard RFQ site is often 2–4 weeks
What should a component website ship in phase 1? Most distributors start with an RFQ site, not a full cart and ERP. Pass bar: MPNs searchable, params/datasheets readable, RFQ on the part page. DAJIQUN standard RFQ sites are often 2–4 weeks; large SKU, multilingual, or ERP work extends by data tier—acceptance follows the signed SOW.
Phase 1 deliverables
Excel/CSV import, parameter pages, datasheet entry, on-page RFQ with ≤6 fields, mobile submit. Sample ≥20 real MPNs and pilot 10–15 days. Withhold empty shells. Tickets keep part context.
When phase 1 must be a mall
Stocked retail, online settlement, and multi-warehouse sellable qty. Still publish inventory wording before claiming a live mall.
When phase 1 needs quoting or ERP
Fabricators need a live estimate desk (not a deal price). Teams already on Kingdee/Yonyou who drop leads should connect RFQ→CRM first, not finance.
