Is the Cold Storage Procurement Platform really free to use?

Yes. ColdMatch Group is buyer-first and vendor-neutral. Creating tenders, generating documents and receiving supplier quotes is free for buyers. Suppliers pay when they win qualified business.

What file formats are produced?

The wizard produces PDF and DOCX for narrative documents (RFQ, RFP, tender, SOW, executive summary) and XLSX for structured artifacts (BOQ, supplier evaluation matrix, vendor comparison sheet).

Does the platform support international standards?

Yes. Templates include HACCP, BRC, IFS, GDP, ISO 22000, EN 378, ASHRAE, ATEX, EIAR and regional food-safety references. You can tick applicable standards and the generated documents cite them in the correct sections.

Can I save a draft and resume later?

Every step auto-saves locally, and signed-in users can save named drafts, resume them from any device, duplicate projects and keep version history for audit trails.

How is data privacy handled?

Tenders are private by default. Sharing is opt-in via secure links; suppliers only see what you release. Uploaded drawings and specifications are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Does it work in multiple languages?

Yes. The wizard interface and generated documents support English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Korean, matching the buyer's chosen locale.

Buyer-first economics

The buyer side of the platform — wizard, documents, dashboard, dashboard, sharing, version history — is free forever. Suppliers pay only when they win qualified business, which keeps quality high and the supplier list short but relevant.

Enterprise dashboard

The procurement dashboard aggregates drafts, live tenders and archived projects. Filter by country, project type, industry, status and date. Duplicate projects to accelerate rollouts. Share secure links with named suppliers.

Compliance and privacy

GDPR-safe by default. Consent recorded per submission. Documents encrypted in transit and at rest. Regional data residency available for enterprise agreements.
