AI-powered sourcing for materials, production & trims

Textile sourcing,
fully automated.

You describe what you need — a fabric, a trim, a production job. FBRQ finds the suppliers, writes and sends the requests and chases the replies — and hands you quotes you can actually compare. You approve what matters; the rest runs itself.

Everything you’re sourcing,
on one screen.

This is live, not a concept — the screen you open shows only what needs a human, plus the state of every collection.

FBRQ.ai — dashboard with the action queue and collection health

Inbox

Only what needs you. Stalled conversations and quotes waiting on your decision — everything else the agentic AI handles.

Requests

Every request at a glance. Status per material: suppliers found, requests sent, quotes in, deadlines.

Collections

Grouped by season. A collection shows what is on track and what is stuck, without opening anything.

In plain words

You describe it.
We do the chasing.

Describe what you need

You write one sentence. FBRQ matches it against the catalog and finds suppliers on the spec, not on a keyword.

Approve, then step away

You tick the suppliers to approach. FBRQ writes a personalised RFQ each, sends it in their language and follows up when nobody replies.

Compare and decide

You pick the offer. FBRQ reads every reply and turns quotes into comparable numbers — price, minimum order, lead time.

The machine part

Finds the supplier.
Writes the email.

Match score

Ranked on the spec you wrote — composition, weight, finish — not on a keyword match.

MOQ & lead time

Visible before you send anything, so you can drop the suppliers you could never order from.

Certificates

GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GRS and the rest, kept on the supplier record.

FBRQ.ai — supplier matches for a fabric spec, with match score, minimum order, lead time and certificates
The human part

Your suppliers.
Your team.

The directory is a starting point, not a boundary. Bring the suppliers you already trust, and run the whole thing with the people you work with.

Keep the suppliers you already have

Existing relationships come with you. They sit in the same workspace as everyone the AI finds — and get the same treatment.

Bring your own supplier list — it is matched to the directory, so nobody ends up in twice.

The AI writes and chases their requests too, in the language you already use with them.

Agreed prices, contacts and terms stay on the supplier record, not in someone’s mailbox.

Work on it as a team

Sourcing is rarely one person. Everyone works on the same requests instead of forwarding each other mail.

One status per request, visible to the whole team — no “who asked whom”.

Hand a request over to a colleague without briefing them first.

Approvals and decisions stay on the request, in the order they happened.

Start with one material list.

In a 30-minute pilot session we run your list against the catalog and show you the RFQ drafts — before anything is sent.

Who we are

Why we built FBRQ.

FBRQ started as a research project. We were early to AI and agentic systems — building with them long before they were a headline.

The more we looked at fashion sourcing, the clearer it got: the technology had finally caught up, but the way brands find suppliers, send requests and compare quotes hadn’t changed in decades. It had to be doable better.

So we built it — not a chatbot, but a structured, self-updating supplier catalog with an agentic autopilot on top. Live today. Built in Stuttgart, Germany and Oxford, UK.

And we built it as a tool, not a marketplace: your suppliers stay yours, and nothing leaves your workspace without your say-so.
