Introduction
If you buy for a business in India, you know how sourcing
usually goes. A requirement comes in. Someone calls a few vendors, sends
WhatsApp messages and emails, and waits. Quotes come back as PDFs, voice notes
and one-line replies. Someone builds a spreadsheet to compare them, and by the
time the order is placed, days have passed and very little is on record.
If you sell to businesses, you know the other side: good
products, fair prices, and still no order, because the requirement never
reached you.
AI-native sourcing, from RFP to award. Soarix is a B2B sourcing platform for India. Buyers send RFPs to their own suppliers or the Soarix network, then evaluate and negotiate in one place. Suppliers see live demand and bid in minutes.
This post covers the problem Soarix solves, what the
platform does for buyers and suppliers, and how to tell whether it’s right for
your business.
Why B2B sourcing in India is still so hard
Sourcing is rarely hard because buyers don’t know what they
need. It’s hard because the process around the need is fragmented, disconnected
and spread across calls, chats, emails and spreadsheets.
Quotes don’t line up: different delivery timelines,
different payment terms, different assumptions about what’s included. Chasing
vendors who haven’t replied becomes a job in itself. And when a decision is
finally made, the reasoning lives in someone’s head or in a chat thread nobody
will find again.
So buyers fall back on the vendors they already know, not
because they’re always the best choice, but because they’re the easiest to
manage. Finding new suppliers in India often means trade fairs, directories and
referrals, and each of those is slow and hit-and-miss.
Why suppliers struggle to find B2B buyers
Suppliers face the mirror image of this problem. Most of the
demand in a market is invisible to them. They hear about requirements late, or
not at all. They pay for listings and ads before there’s any sign of real
demand. And when they do get to quote, they’re often guessing whether their
price is anywhere close.
A supplier with a strong product and sharp pricing can still
lose, simply because they weren’t in the room.
What is Soarix?
Soarix is an AI-native B2B sourcing platform where every
deal starts with a real buyer need, not a product listing.
A buyer raises an RFP (request for proposal) that
describes what they need. They send it to their own suppliers, to suppliers
across the Soarix network, or both. Suppliers respond in one structured format,
so the buyer can compare bids like for like, negotiate and award, all in one
place.
Simply put: one RFP, the right suppliers, comparable answers
and a clear record of every decision.
