Start the feature tour
Your entry point on the marketplace is always the
search bar
.
As with any other online store or marketplace, you can specify what you are looking for here. The most effective way to search on CheMondis is to directly
enter your desired substances or CAS numbers
.
Since the trade with chemicals is a bit more complex than an online purchase in a hardware store for example, you should
filter your search accordingly
. There are
12 filters available
.
Please note: We highly recommend to always filter by Delivery country, Quantity and Incoterm.

on CheMondis.

When you send a request, you will notice that some fields are mandatory while others are optional.
Why?
So that the supplier can make a reasonable offer. In case you are sending a multiple request, the data must only be specified once.
It may happen that your demand has changed or you have already found an offer that fits your requirements. In these cases, don't make the supplier wait unnecessarily long for your final answer.
As soon as you know whether the offer is suitable or not, please
accept or close the request
. This way it is ensured that suppliers do not hold back goods and are informed about the status of your negotiation at all times.
Please be aware that you can only have
3 open offers at a time
. If you want to send more requests, please close your outstanding offers first.
Remember, there can be more than one correct answer. You will immediately receive feedback if your choice was correct or incorrect.

You need to buy a specific product short-term so that your production capacities can be exploited and you do not want to invest the time to request from various suppliers and go through the full negotiation process?
For this reason we have launched our
Tender Board
.
In the yellow-marked boxes, unbeatable in-stock offers from our suppliers are waiting for you.
Every offer includes all necessary details
such as available volume or offered Incoterms.
If you are interested,
you can directly accept the offer from the posting or place your own request
for products that you need. Logically, all suppliers who have them in stock can respond with an offer.
Please expect suppliers to respond to your request with additional questions. This is often necessary to prepare an offer for you. Therefore, we recommend to check your mails regularly for updates or to check your requests on CheMondis at least once a day . As soon as something has happened within your open requests, you can recognize this by the blue request bubble on your start page.
Please note: via the chat and the offer form you have the possibility to contact the seller at any time and discuss the offer further. The supplier will receive a notification as soon as you get in touch.
