Buying guides
Comparing quotes beyond unit price
The cheapest unit price can be the most expensive landed outcome. Compare packaging, spares, certificates, and risk.
Landed view
Add freight, insurance, expected damage, and financing costs.
Include spare percentages.
Spec equivalence
Highlight differences in IP, lumen, kA, or cable standards.
Non-equivalent quotes are not comparable.
Decision
Score vendors on documentation quality and communication speed too.
NMF welcomes side-by-side comparison sheets.
