About biznis.in 7 questions

What is biznis.in?

biznis.in is decision-making support software for B2B buying and selling. You post a requirement (RFQ) or an offer, biznis.in sends it to your vendors or customers, collects their quotes and shows you the best matching one — the L1 when you buy and the H1 when you sell.

Who is biznis.in for?

Indian MSMEs and other businesses that buy or sell business-to-business: manufacturers, traders, wholesalers & retailers and service providers. It is built for B2B only — not for selling to consumers.

Is biznis.in a software or a service?

biznis.in is SaaS — software you and your team use yourselves, on your own database (a "Done By Me" model). If you would rather have trained executives run procurement and lead qualification for you, that "Done For You" staff service is offered by our startup Arquantis.

Who is behind biznis.in?

biznis.in is built by Business Solutions Ecosystem, Amritsar, founded by Vishal Narang — a strategic procurement consultant with more than two decades of experience serving large-scale industries.

Is biznis.in a marketplace or a lead directory?

No. biznis.in works first on your own vendors and customers. Leads from your own database are always free. We also run BSE marketplace portals, and if a sell offer there matches your requirement 100%, you are shown that one lead and can choose whether to buy it.

Is biznis.in a party to my deals?

No. We are the technology provider only. Every deal, payment and delivery is between you and your vendor or customer, and the final decision is always yours.

Which languages is biznis.in available in?

The website is in English and Hindi — use the EN / हिं switch at the top of any page.

Free trial & getting started 8 questions

How long is the free trial, and what does it cost?

The trial is 7 days with full access and costs ₹0 — so you can experience the benefits on your own vendors and customers before you upgrade to a paid plan.

Do I need a card to start?

No. No card or payment details are needed, and nothing is ever charged automatically.

What happens after the free trial?

If biznis.in is helping your business, pick a plan. If you do not upgrade, access stops after day 7.

How long does setup take?

About 15 minutes for the essentials: link WhatsApp, import vendors and post your first RFQ. The full 10-step setup guide is on the Getting started page.

I'm not very technical. Can I still use biznis.in?

Yes. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use biznis.in. Setup is guided, and our team helps you on WhatsApp 365 days a year.

Do I need a computer?

Linking your WhatsApp number (step 2 of setup) needs a computer or laptop. After that you can work on the web or in the Android app.

How do I create my account?

Enter your 10-digit mobile number and verify it with the WhatsApp OTP, which is valid for 10 minutes.

Can I get a free demo?

Yes. Tap "Get a free demo on WhatsApp" and our team will walk you through it.

Posting requirements & offers 7 questions

What is an RFQ?

A request for quotation — your buy requirement with product, quantity, delivery location, specification and terms, sent to vendors so they can quote.

What details should a good requirement include?

Product, quantity, delivery location (for example F.O.R Ludhiana), specification (for example GCV 4,000+ kcal/kg), packing, target price if any, delivery and payment terms. The clearer the requirement, the better the quotes.

Can I post sell offers too?

Yes. Post your offer to your own customers, collect their counter-offers and see the H1 — the highest matching offer.

Is there a limit on RFQs or messages?

No. Post unlimited RFQs, upload unlimited contacts and link as many WhatsApp numbers as you need. biznis.in is pure SaaS — usage is not restricted, and the software has built-in conditions designed for optimum results.

Where does my requirement go?

To your vendors, your mapped product + buyer/seller tags, your groups and communities, by WhatsApp, email, push and web notifications, to the BSE Business app (web and mobile), BSE WhatsApp communities and groups, BSE zero-noise lead communities and BSE marketplace portals.

Can I send the same requirement again?

Yes. You can reshare your posted requirements and offers on the portal and send them again to your mapped database whenever you need.

Do RFQs go from my own number?

Yes. Messages go from your own WhatsApp number and your own email ID, so vendors see who is asking.

Quotes, L1 / H1 & decisions 7 questions

What does "qualified" mean?

A quote is compared only when its product, location, specification and delivery terms match your requirement. Then the matching quotes are ranked by price.

What are L1 and H1?

L1 is the lowest matching quote — what you want when buying. H1 is the highest matching offer — what you want when selling.

What happens to quotes that do not match my specification?

They are set aside and marked as not compared, so a cheaper quote for the wrong product never looks like the best deal.

Where do I see all the replies?

Every counter-offer lands in one place — Qualified Leads — sorted so the lowest (L1) or highest (H1) matching offer is on top.

Can I negotiate and ask for revised quotes?

Yes. Negotiate on WhatsApp from inside the platform, request re-quotations and re-qualify automatically as new offers arrive — every step is logged.

Who makes the final decision?

You do. biznis.in does the legwork and puts the L1 or H1 in front of you; the decision and its consequences are always yours.

Is there an audit trail?

Yes. Every reply, negotiation and decision is logged and timestamped.

Your vendors & customers 5 questions

Do my vendors need to install anything?

No. Vendors receive your RFQ on WhatsApp or email and can send a counter-offer without installing any app. Only you need an account to post RFQs.

Why is there a one-time verification for vendors?

So every quote comes with real contact details and you always know who is quoting.

What is a "Trusted Vendor" invite?

Each vendor or customer accepts an invite before receiving your automated messages. It means fewer blocks and better replies.

Can my contacts stop receiving messages?

Yes. Anyone can ask to stop, and viewers can mute notifications at any time. Please honour such requests.

Does biznis.in verify vendors or guarantee their quality?

No. The one-time verification only confirms contact details. biznis.in does not verify, guarantee or endorse any vendor, product, price or delivery — you decide whom to deal with.

Contacts & Data Upgrade 6 questions

How do I import my contacts?

Four ways: an Excel template, manual entry, CRM / Google contacts sync, or directly from WhatsApp groups.

What does "upgrading my data" mean?

We tag every contact by the exact product they deal in, and as a buyer, a seller or both. Your flat list of numbers becomes a qualified database.

Why tag contacts as buyer or seller?

So a purchase RFQ never goes to another buyer, and an offer never goes to another seller.

What are complementary labels?

When you add company details, biznis.in creates matching labels automatically — for example "Biomass Pellet Seller" for your vendors when you are a "Biomass Pellet Buyer".

What is RFQ sharing to mapped tags?

With your permission ("Authorise RFQ sharing"), each RFQ you post is shared through the biznis.in web application only to the contacts whose product and buyer/seller tags match it — precise marketing, not mass messaging. You can withdraw the permission at any time.

Can I map my existing WhatsApp groups?

Yes. Groups where you are admin can be mapped and paired with matching product communities, and you can switch sharing on or off per group.

WhatsApp, email & notifications 5 questions

How does WhatsApp connect?

Today you link WhatsApp by scanning a QR code or using a pairing code (linked device), just like WhatsApp Web. Official WhatsApp Business API support is in review.

Is my WhatsApp number safe?

Messages go only to contacts who accepted your Trusted Vendor invite, an approval-based design meant to keep your number safe. We recommend using a dedicated business number.

Can I link more than one WhatsApp number?

Yes. Link as many WhatsApp numbers as you need, on every plan.

Can I send RFQs by email?

Yes. Link your Gmail account to send RFQs from your own address and sync your Google contacts. Email works alongside WhatsApp for the same RFQ.

Will I get notifications?

Yes. Push and web notifications tell you when replies and counter-offers arrive.

Leads & BSE marketplace 8 questions

Do I pay for leads?

Leads from your own database — Excel, manual entry, Google or WhatsApp contacts and non-marketplace users — are private leads and always 100% free.

What is a "public lead"?

A lead that comes from a BSE marketplace portal, from a business outside your own database.

Is my requirement shown on BSE marketplace portals?

Yes. Every registered user's posted requirement is published automatically on our BSE marketplace portals (web and mobile), so matching offers can come from beyond your network.

What do outside businesses see?

The requirement only — product, quantity, location, specification and terms. Your name, company and number are not shown.

When am I shown a public lead?

Only when a sell offer on a marketplace portal matches every specification and term of your requirement (100% matched). We show you the match before you buy.

Do I have to buy a public lead?

No. Buying it is entirely your choice, at that marketplace's lead charge — you are taken to the marketplace portal to buy it.

Do you sell the leads I post?

No. We never sell the leads you post, and we never share your contact lists with other customers or third parties for their marketing.

Can I get a refund for a public lead?

Public leads are separate purchases made on the marketplace portal and follow that portal's own terms and refund rules.

BSE Business 7 questions

What is BSE Business?

A broadcast channel innovated by Business Solutions Ecosystem. Your posted RFQs become professional templates with call-to-action links, shared from your existing number, with replies saved and qualified by L1 / H1.

What do biznis.in users get from BSE Business?

RFQ sharing as a complimentary feature — one to one, and in BSE Business Groups and BSE Business Communities — with call-to-action buttons and the right to reshare.

Can I send marketing messages?

Template-based marketing messages, and creating your own BSE Business Groups and Communities, are part of the BSE Business app.

How do I get the BSE Business app?

Serious users of biznis.in get access to the BSE Business web and mobile application at no extra cost, based on how actively they use biznis.in.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. BSE Business works with the business number you already use.

Are there per-message charges?

No. RFQ sharing is part of your biznis.in plan with no fee per message, and in this phase BSE Business templates carry no per-message charge either.

Does it include drip campaigns or a full CRM?

Not in this phase. Replies and counter-offers are captured so your quotations can be qualified.

BSE WhatsApp communities & groups 4 questions

What are BSE WhatsApp communities and groups?

Product-specific business communities and groups run by Business Solutions Ecosystem. They are separate from BSE Business and have their own way of delivering requirements.

How are they different from ordinary groups?

Instead of one large group, businesses are organised by product, so a requirement reaches only people who deal in that product — no greetings, no forwards, no noise.

How do I join?

From the Join BSE WhatsApp communities and groups step in your biznis.in account (step 8 of the setup guide).

What are BSE zero-noise lead communities?

Communities that carry requirements and offers only, so every message is a business opportunity in your product.

The 9-step SOP 4 questions

What is the 9-step SOP?

Every business has two requirements — purchase and sales — and every deal moves through the same 9 steps: lead generation, quotations, data analysis, lead qualification, negotiation, re-quotations, re-qualification, decision making and purchase / sale.

Where does the SOP come from?

It is built from more than two decades of strategic procurement consulting, for MSMEs everywhere — starting from India.

Which steps does biznis.in automate?

The busywork in every step — collecting quotes, comparing like-for-like, ranking, re-qualifying and logging. Step 8, decision making, stays with you.

What result can I expect?

Follow the SOP consistently and move your business from where it is today to where you want it to be. We do not promise a fixed saving — results depend on your market and how you use it.

Plans & pricing 7 questions

What plans are there?

Plans differ only by duration — 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Current prices are shown on the pricing section of the homepage and on the pricing page.

Do all plans have every feature?

Yes. Every plan includes every feature; you only choose how long.

Are prices inclusive of GST?

No. Prices exclude GST, and you get a GST invoice so eligible businesses can claim input tax credit.

Do you charge commissions or a setup fee?

No. There are no commissions on your deals, no setup fee, and leads from your own database are always free.

Do plans renew automatically?

Not at present. When a plan ends, you choose whether to buy again. If automatic renewal is introduced later, it will apply only if you opt in, with notice before each charge.

What is the value stack on the homepage?

It shows what the seven modules would cost if bought separately — ₹25,000 a month in total — next to your actual price today.

We have a team or several locations. Is there a plan for us?

Every plan supports team roles. For larger teams or multiple locations, talk to us on WhatsApp.
