01
Filter by meaningful attributes
Use the attributes relevant to each family: thread system, diameter, pitch, length, head, material or grade. Avoid a single free-text description doing all the work.
Websites for fastener distributors.
A searchable fastener catalog with useful specification filters and quote requests that retain size, material, quantity and packaging.

The task
From a part reference to a useful RFQ.
A bolt name alone rarely identifies the requested item. Thread, length, material and grade need to stay attached to the part as the buyer moves from browsing to a quote request.
Example RFQ structure
- Identity
- Part reference or help identifying the fastener
- Specification
- Thread, length, material and grade
- Quantity
- Number of units and pack convention
- Next step
- Sales checks the specification and availability
Designed around the next step.
02
Keep packs and individual units separate
Show the quoting unit beside quantity. Carry the selected variant into the request so “100” is not mistaken for 100 boxes.
03
Allow an identification request
Give uncertain buyers a route to sales with a description and reference. Do not force them to choose a specification they cannot verify.
Try the intake pattern
Fastener request
Try it with sample details to see what your sales team receives. Nothing is sent.
Use “unknown” wherever the technical team needs to help.
Request for technical review
Specification, suitability, availability and price remain to be confirmed by the supplier.
What’s included.
- A product-family structure and agreed attribute mapping.
- Variant pages or selectors that preserve the internal part reference.
- An RFQ journey with quantity, unit and required date.
- An import guide and checks for duplicate or missing references.
Before we begin.
Data to prepare
Start with one approved product family. Keep the source revision and specification owner with the catalog data.
Approval stays with your team
Grades, standards and suitability come from your approved records, not from the website.
