How Sparehawk works

Sparehawk is a marketplace, not a seller. Buyers search by part number and send one request for quotes to matching suppliers, free of charge. Suppliers list their own stock, quote and invoice the buyer directly. Listing is free for the first 90 days; after that up to 500 active listings stay free, and larger catalogues pay from €39 a month. Below are the four steps on each side.

For buyers

  1. 01.1

    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 Where the number has been superseded, the current part and its predecessors are both shown.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. 01.2

    See who has it

    Current offers with condition, country, lead time and — where the supplier publishes it — the price. You do not need an account.

  3. 01.3

    Send one request

    Add lines to a basket or upload a bill of materials and send one request. It goes first to the best-matched suppliers for each line, and to more of them if quotes are slow. They see the parts and your country, not your contact details.

  4. 01.4

    Compare and choose

    Quotes arrive in one comparison: price per line, lead time, condition, warranty, terms. When you accept a quote, we send your contact details to that supplier, and you arrange the order with them directly.

For suppliers

  1. 02.1

    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. 02.2

    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. 02.3

    Quote

    Price per line, lead time, condition, warranty. Your response rate and median response time are measured here and shown on your storefront.

  4. 02.4

    Sell directly

    When a buyer accepts your quote, you get their details and invoice them on your own terms. We take no commission, and the buyer pays you directly.

Questions buyers ask

Short answers; the details are in the terms of service.

3.1What is Sparehawk?
Sparehawk is a marketplace for spare parts of every kind of equipment: automation, electrical, hydraulics, machinery, HVAC, vehicles and more. Buyers search by part number and request quotes for free; independent suppliers list their stock. Your request goes to the suppliers who stock or can source the part. Their quotes come back in one comparison, and we email you as each one arrives.
3.2What does it cost to request quotes?
Nothing. Requesting and comparing quotes is free for buyers. Once you pick a quote, you deal with the supplier directly.
3.3Who are the suppliers?
Independent distributors, stockists, surplus dealers and refurbishers who list their stock on Sparehawk, by file or by hand. Suppliers that pass our company check carry a Verified badge, and serious or repeated rule breaks get a supplier blocked.
3.4How reliable are the replacements shown?
Each one is labelled. “Official” links to the manufacturer’s own migration document; “verified” means our team checked it manually and recorded why. Community suggestions are marked as such.
3.5Who sees my contact details?
Only the supplier whose quote you select gets your contact details. Until then suppliers see the part, quantity, country and deadline, and any name and company you entered — never your email address.
3.6How current is the stock information?
Every offer shows when the supplier last updated it, and every part page shows how many suppliers can quote. Prices are always confirmed in the quote itself.
