How Spyndl simplifies your lab purchases

Three clear paths to move faster: direct buy, grouped quotes, or a personalized request — pick the route that fits your need and timing.

  • Direct purchase
  • Grouped quotes
  • Personalized request
  • Recurring lists (Excel)
  • Jade (AI)
Case 1

🎯 Immediate direct purchase

Fastest for urgent needs: find, compare, buy — in a few clicks.

  1. 1

    Search the Spyndl catalogue

    Explore a complete, lab-specific technical catalogue with rich filters (brand, volume, range, etc.).

  2. 2

    Compare public prices

    Open product pages, images, cross-references, and compare pricing across multiple sellers.

  3. 3

    Add to cart & pay via Spyndl

    Confirm your purchase online. Delivery and after-sales are handled by partner suppliers.

Tip: ideal when you already know the exact reference.
Case 2

🧾 Grouped quote request before buying

Truly compare: receive personalized offers from multiple vendors before deciding.

  1. 1

    Search & compare

    Identify the products you’re interested in and add them to the cart.

  2. 2

    Send a grouped request

    In one click, ask several distributors/manufacturers for this basket: terms, discounts, lead times, MOQ, shipping.

  3. 3

    Receive offers, compare & buy

    You get an automatic email notification every time an offer is posted. Compare easily with our built-in analytics, then purchase the best option.

Perfect if you have time to compare conditions and optimize budget.
Case 3

🧩 Product not found in the public catalogue

Outsource the search: we source the reference and suggest relevant alternatives.

  1. 1

    Send a personalized request

    Describe your need (use case, preferred brand, reference) or upload your Excel file — we’ll handle the rest.

  2. 2

    Spyndl activates its network

    We consult non-publicly listed products and return same/alternative equivalent options.

  3. 3

    Receive centralized offers

    Compare easily and order through the path you prefer (via Spyndl or directly with the supplier).

Maximum time-saver: hand over the full search to us.
