Bring the information you have. Middleman will structure it, show the gaps, and help you decide what needs confirming before anyone approaches the market. Prefer your own agent? Give it the buyer onboarding skill.

​
What to provide

  • Manufacturer and part number, when known.
  • Item description or the outcome you need.
  • Quantity and unit of measure.
  • Required condition, certification, or acceptable alternatives.
  • Delivery location and deadline.
  • Budget, currency, and commercial constraints you want considered.
  • Photos, drawings, specifications, or other supporting evidence.
You can start with an incomplete request. Mark estimates and assumptions clearly so they do not become purchasing facts.

​
What happens next

1

Review the requirement

Correct uncertain details and keep anything still unknown visible.
2

Confirm the product

Check the manufacturer, part number, condition, and unit against the intended item.
3

Compare routes

Read source, observation time, quantity, location, terms, and validity together.
4

Approve the next step

Review the exact recipient, message, terms, and purpose before anything leaves the workspace.

​
You stay in control

Middleman can prepare research, comparisons, and proposed messages. You review the recipient, content, and commercial purpose before contact, acceptance, ordering, or payment.
