Process

How Gemalli works

Gemalli is an RFQ-based marketplace — there is no cart, no checkout, no commission. Buyers send Requests for Quotation to verified Ukrainian manufacturers, who reply directly through in-platform chat. Every transaction is negotiated between the two parties.

For buyers

Sourcing in four steps

Browsing, contacting, and negotiating with manufacturers is free — no buyer registration required to start.

  1. 1

    Find a manufacturer or product

    Search by category, region, or keyword. Every published manufacturer is verified against Ukraine's Unified State Register (ЄДРПОУ), so the directory is a list of real, operating companies — not aggregator leads.

  2. 2

    Send a Request for Quotation

    Complete a short RFQ form — quantity, delivery Incoterms, target price, required certifications. Your request goes to the manufacturer by email and into their Gemalli dashboard in seconds.

  3. 3

    Negotiate directly in chat

    Manufacturers typically respond within 24–48 hours. Negotiate price, lead time, samples, and terms in the in-platform chat thread — no middlemen, no commission.

  4. 4

    Close the deal off-platform

    When you're ready, the manufacturer issues a proforma invoice and ships under the Incoterms you agreed. Gemalli does not handle payments, logistics, or escrow — that's between you and the manufacturer.


For manufacturers

From application to first RFQ in 3–7 days

Onboarding is invite-only and free. We verify every applicant before publication.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Submit your company details — EDRPOU code, contact, primary export markets, certifications. The application form is short; the review is rigorous.

  2. 2

    Verify

    We check your registration against the Unified State Register, hold a short video call to confirm production capacity, and review supporting documents for any third-party certifications you list.

  3. 3

    Publish

    Your profile goes live with your tagline, products, certifications, and contact form. You manage everything from a Gemalli dashboard — products, posts, RFQs, analytics.

  4. 4

    Receive RFQs

    Buyer enquiries arrive by email and in your dashboard. The Starter plan includes up to 50 RFQs per month for free. Negotiate, close the deal, and Gemalli takes zero commission.

Why Gemalli

What's different about this platform

Every manufacturer is verified

Three-step onboarding — state-register check, video call, export-readiness review — before a profile goes live. Certifications are validated against documentation before badges appear.

DCFTA-aligned

Ukrainian-origin goods exported to the EU qualify for duty-free tariff treatment under the EU–Ukraine Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, subject to rules-of-origin compliance. Manufacturer profiles surface the origin info you need for customs clearance.

Direct, no commission

Buyers and manufacturers negotiate in chat. Gemalli charges manufacturers a subscription for the published profile — there is no transaction fee, no escrow, no take-rate on closed deals.
