How it worksFrom specification to decision: the full route.
On Matravo, every job starts with one technical request and ends with comparable offers. Below is what each step does, who sees what, and what every offer is required to state.
Define your specification once
A good request is the precondition of good offers. On Matravo a request is a structure, not free text:
- 01Line items — every product on its own line: description, dimensions, standard (e.g. EN 14411, EN 997).
- 02Quantity and unit — m², pieces, sets; the unit is fixed up front, so offers arrive in the same unit.
- 03Delivery terms — destination country, preferred Incoterms, required lead-time window.
- 04Documents — drawings, a BOQ file or datasheet requirements, if any.


The request reaches matched manufacturers
Your request does not land on a public board. It is routed to Turkish manufacturers verified as companies and matched by category and capability. Your identity and contact details are not shared at the offer stage; manufacturers see the technical scope only.
Türkiye is one of the largest manufacturing bases within close reach of Europe and MENA for ceramic, sanitaryware, facade, insulation, doors and MEP items — Matravo's launch categories were chosen around that strength.
Offers arrive in one structure
Every offer is made inside your request's structure and is required to state:
- aSpec compliance — per line: compliant / with alternative / out of scope.
- bUnit price basis — in the fixed unit and currency.
- cIncoterms — the rule and the named place or port.
- dPackaging — export specification.
- eLead time — production + dispatch window.
Because these fields cannot be left empty, there is no "footnote on page 7 of the PDF" — differences show up in the table.


Compare, clarify, move
You review offers side by side, shortlist, and request per-line clarification where needed. Every request has a status — both sides always see what moved and what is waiting on whom.
You then trade with your chosen supplier on your own terms: Matravo operates no catalog, no checkout and no logistics; it establishes the technical and commercial clarity of the job.
Be first in your category.
