The Kpex Ecosystem

A closed, curated network where every actor plays a defined role. No noise. Only qualified buyers and sellers with real CAPEX projects.

Vendors & Manufacturers
Equipment suppliers, technology owners and licensed process vendors. That's you.
Project Owners
Industrial companies with active CAPEX projects in O&G, Power, Mining, Chemical and Renewables.

Common Data Environment
Kpex platform — the shared intelligence layer connecting all actors with real cost data and AACE methodology.
RFQs flow from owners to vendors — bids flow back — data enriches the platform for everyone

How It Works

From application to your first awarded RFQ in four steps.

1

Apply & Get Curated

Submit your application. CAF reviews your company profile, specialties and coverage. We maintain a high-quality, curated directory.

2

Build Your Catalog

Upload your product catalog linked to Kpex Module A families. Earn KDT tokens for every validated price list — reducing your future commission.

3

Receive Qualified RFQs

Get notified when project owners launch RFQs matching your specialties. RFQs come with real project data: AACE class, capacity, location, currency.

4

Submit Bids & Win

Compare your offer side-by-side with competing vendors. If awarded, pay only the success fee — reduced by your accumulated KDT balance.

Why Kpex vs. Generic Marketplaces

This is not Alibaba. Every RFQ comes with real engineering context.

AACE-Contextualized RFQs
Every request comes with project class (Class 5–2), capacity requirements, AACE accuracy range and basis of estimate. No vague inquiries.
Location Factor Integration
Bids are automatically adjusted with Kpex LFI across 196 countries. Owners compare apples to apples, not distorted by geography.
CAF-Verified Buyers
Every project owner is a vetted Kpex member with an active project portfolio. No tire-kickers or fake RFQs — your sales team's time is protected.
Data Flywheel Advantage
Your price data improves Kpex Module A estimates. Better estimates attract more owners. More owners mean more RFQs sent to you. The loop feeds itself.
100% Private Ecosystem
No public listing. No open internet exposure. Your catalog and pricing are visible only to verified Kpex members — protecting your commercial strategy.
Pay for Success Only
RFQ fees are paid by the owner, not you. You pay only when you win — and with KDT tokens you can reduce that fee by up to 40%.
