BSE TECHNICAL NOTE
From RFQ Marketplace to API-Connected Commerce
Standard electronic or IT products can eventually support automated search, availability and checkout.
Marine, aerospace, configured or engineered products often still require technical review before a commercial commitment.
A modular connector layer allows supplier APIs to change independently of the BSE customer experience.
Practical checklist
- Classify products by commercial risk
- Connect approved supplier data
- Normalize search and availability
- Keep engineering review for complex items
- Add cart and payment only where appropriate
