Why a structured RFQ template

An RFQ that lists every item, quantity, unit, and code the same way every time is what lets a ship chandler quote fast and accurately. Loose email requisitions are where wrong-item deliveries and quoting delays start. This template runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored — and produces a clean document you can print, save as PDF, or paste into an email. If you're sending RFQs to more than one or two chandlers regularly, or need to track responses, Tidal's ship chandler software automates the whole RFQ-to-quote cycle instead.

FAQ

Free RFQ template, answered

What is a ship chandler RFQ template?
A ship chandler RFQ (request for quotation) template is a structured document that lists vessel details, delivery port and date, and every item a vessel needs, so ship chandlers can quote against a clear, complete requisition instead of a loose email thread.
Does this tool store or send my data anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — the preview is generated locally, and printing or copying happens entirely on your device.
Can I send this RFQ to multiple chandlers at once?
This free template produces one RFQ you can print or copy into an email to send manually. To send a single RFQ to multiple chandlers at once, track responses, and quote automatically, use Tidal's ship chandler software.
Should I include IMPA or ISSA codes in my RFQ?
Yes, where you have them. Matching items to IMPA or ISSA codes before the RFQ goes out means buyer and chandler are quoting against exactly the same item. Use Tidal's free IMPA code lookup to find codes for common items.

Tired of rebuilding this RFQ every time?

Tidal turns this into a workflow: send one RFQ to every chandler at once, get quotes back structured and comparable, and never retype a requisition again.
