MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

List Products Your Way

Unlike other B2B platforms, we give YOU complete control. List WITH prices, WITHOUT prices, or mix and match. Sell, hire, or invite bids - all on the same platform.

List WITH Prices

Perfect for standard products, parts, and services with fixed pricing. Buyers see prices immediately and can purchase directly.

Best For:

Standard Parts & Components - Bearings, bolts, filters with catalog pricing
Stock Equipment - Tools, machinery, PPE with transparent pricing
Fixed-Rate Services - Inspections, certifications, standard maintenance

Pro Tip: Show tiered pricing for volume discounts (1-10 units = R500, 11-50 = R450, etc.)

List WITHOUT Prices

Ideal for custom projects, bespoke manufacturing, or when pricing varies by specification. Generate qualified leads and quote on request.

Best For:

Custom Manufacturing - CNC work, fabrication, prototypes needing specs first
Project-Based Services - Engineering design, installation, complex repairs
High-Value Equipment - Specialized machinery where price depends on configuration

Pro Tip: Add "Request Quote" button - leads go straight to your CRM with full buyer details

Three Ways to Transact on Every Listing

Purchase

Standard buy-it-now transactions. Buyers purchase outright and own the product/equipment.

  • One-time payment & ownership transfer
  • Volume discount pricing tiers
  • Instant checkout or quote request

Examples: Parts, tools, materials, stock equipment

POPULAR

Hire / Rental

Equipment rental marketplace. List daily, weekly, or monthly rental rates with availability calendar.

  • Flexible rental periods (hourly to monthly)

Your B2B Marketplace Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about selling on South Africa's leading manufacturing B2B marketplace

What is a B2B marketplace for manufacturing?

A B2B (Business-to-Business) marketplace for manufacturing is an online platform where manufacturing businesses can buy and sell products, equipment, and services to other businesses - not consumers.

What Makes ManufacturingEzyFind Different:

Full ecommerce platform - List unlimited products with photos, specs, pricing (or request quote)
Integrated CRM & procurement - Manage customers, suppliers, quotes, and orders in one system

Invoice & inventory automation - Professional invoicing and real-time stock tracking

Unlike generic marketplaces, we're built exclusively for South African manufacturing and industrial businesses with features designed for how manufacturers actually operate - from custom pricing to multi-warehouse inventory.

Can I list products WITHOUT showing prices?

Yes, absolutely! This is one of our most popular features. You have complete flexibility in how you display pricing.

List WITH Prices

Perfect for standard parts, stock items, off-the-shelf equipment

Example: Bearings at R850 each (or R680 for 50+ units with volume pricing)

List WITHOUT Prices

Ideal for custom work, project-based services, made-to-order manufacturing

Example: CNC machining services with "Request Quote" button - buyers submit specs, you quote accordingly

Mix and Match

List some products with prices, others without - all on the same account

Example: Show prices for standard fasteners, but request quotes for custom fabrication work

Why This Matters:

Manufacturing isn't one-size-fits-all. Custom jobs, large orders, and complex projects often need individual quotes. Our platform lets you showcase capabilities WITHOUT locking yourself into fixed pricing when flexibility is needed.
