Global Trade, Connected. From Product Discovery to Final Delivery.
Start a Trade Request
For buyers
If you know what you need, TP4 helps turn that requirement into a structured trade request and work toward the right supply connection.
From vague to quotable
The single biggest difference to price, speed and disputes is the first message. Watch a typical request become one that gets comparable offers.
What most first requests look like
“We need steel. Send your best price.”
Suppliers either guess or ask ten questions. Quotes arrive late and cannot be compared.
A quote-ready requirement
0%What TP4 does for buyers
Sourcing, matching, comparison and coordination. Each one removes a reason a good purchase goes wrong.
01 Sourcing
TP4 looks at which countries and producers supply the grade you need, and what is realistic on volume, lead time and price basis.
02 Matching
Producers, mills and traders are considered against your specification, capacity needs and destination. Business information is reviewed as appropriate before introductions.
03 Comparison
Every supplier quotes the same specification, quantity and delivery term, so the comparison is about price and reliability, not about guessing what was included.
04 Coordination
Inspection, documents, freight and port handling are coordinated in one place, with finance introductions for eligible trades.
The buyer journey · 6 steps
Six steps, in the same order every time. Keep scrolling to walk through them.
Find the product or category.
Search the directory or open a category. Product pages show grades, standards and what a complete requirement includes.
Send a structured request.
Product, specification, quantity, destination, delivery term and timing. The more complete it is, the more comparable the quotes.
TP4 reviews the requirement.
If something is missing or unrealistic, TP4 says so before any supplier is approached.
Suppliers that fit are approached.
Matched on grade, capacity, origin and commercial fit, not just on the product name.
Compare like with like.
Offers against the same specification and delivery term, then terms, inspection and documents set out in writing.
Connected where needed.
Eligible trades can be introduced to finance partners. Freight, port handling and delivery are coordinated to your site.
What stays true
No guaranteed prices or delivery dates. Just the way every buying requirement is handled.
One specification goes to every supplier, so offers can be compared line by line instead of guessed at.
Capacity, grade and loading port are checked against your requirement before anyone is introduced.
Price basis, Incoterm, inspection and documents are agreed before money moves.
If TP4 cannot help with a requirement, you hear that early, with the reason.
Send the requirement. TP4 will review it and tell you if and how it can help.
