How Sparehawk works
Four steps for a buyer, and the same four seen from the supplier side.
For buyers
1. Search the number you have
Ordering code, legacy number or description, with or without spaces. Where the number has been superseded, the current part and its predecessors are both shown.
2. See who has it
Live offers with condition, country, lead time and — where the supplier publishes it — the price. No account, no gate.
3. Ask everyone at once
Add lines to a basket or upload a bill of materials and send one request. It reaches every supplier able to cover a line; they see the parts and your country, not your contact details.
4. Compare and choose
Quotes come back into one comparison: price per line, lead time, condition, warranty, terms. Accepting one exchanges contact details and the order proceeds directly with that supplier.
For suppliers
1. Publish your stock
Upload a CSV or XLSX export and map your columns once. Re-upload weekly, or let us fetch it, or push changes through the API.
2. Get matched
Requests reach you when you have an active offer for a line, or when you list the brand and category and ship to the buyer’s country.
3. Quote
Price per line, lead time, condition, warranty. Your response rate and median response time are measured here and shown on your storefront.
4. Sell directly
When a buyer accepts, you get their details and invoice them on your own terms. We take no commission and are not in the payment.
