Create an RFQ record with the customer, requirement, deadline and source.
RFQ MANAGEMENT
Track inbound RFQs from receipt to quotation and follow-up.
Give the request one visible owner and keep handovers in the activity history.
Record that a quotation was sent and keep the RFQ open while a response is pending.
Attach the next follow-up date to the RFQ instead of relying on a separate reminder.
Record the final outcome so open work and completed work are easy to distinguish.
Linker is being built for seller-side teams that receive requests for quotation and need a clear record of ownership, response status, follow-up and outcome.

Seller-side RFQ tracking, not procurement sourcing software.
The term RFQ software is used for several different jobs. Procurement teams use RFQ tools to send requests to suppliers and compare bids. Proposal teams use response platforms for structured RFP and tender documents. Linker is focused on a different part of the process: the inbound RFQ that arrives at a supplier or B2B seller and needs to be owned, quoted, followed up and closed.
That distinction matters because the operational problem often starts before a quotation is prepared. Someone has to notice the request, decide who owns it, keep the deadline visible and make sure the enquiry does not disappear after the quote is sent.
Make workflow gaps visible before work is missed.
Linker is designed around the difference between scattered operational state and a shared record that stays current.
Where friction starts
RFQs buried in shared inboxesUnclear ownershipQuotation deadlines tracked manuallyFollow-ups dependent on memory
