A good RFQ reduces redesign and wrong quotes
A kiosk RFQ should do more than ask for a price. A vague request like 'quote a self-service payment kiosk'
forces the supplier to guess the screen size, OS, printer, scanner, payment device, enclosure, network, and
installation method. That creates inaccurate pricing and raises the risk of redesign after sampling. A
professional RFQ gives enough detail for the supplier to recommend the right hardware configuration.

The 20 specifications to confirm
Before requesting a quote, confirm: 1. use case, 2. installation environment, 3. indoor or outdoor use, 4.
screen size, 5. touch type, 6. Android or Windows OS, 7. CPU level, 8. RAM, 9. storage, 10. receipt printer
requirement, 11. barcode or QR scanner requirement, 12. payment terminal model, 13. NFC or card reader
placement, 14. camera requirement, 15. RFID or ID reader requirement, 16. network method, 17. mounting
type, 18. branding or color customization, 19. target market and compliance needs, 20. sample quantity
and bulk order forecast.

Commercial information matters too
After the technical specification, provide commercial details such as destination country, expected annual
quantity, sample timeline, project timeline, packaging requirement, shipping method, warranty expectation, spare parts plan, and whether the order is for end use, resale, or integration into a software
solution. These details help a kiosk hardware supplier quote more accurately and recommend practical options.

How to handle unknown requirements
It is normal for buyers not to know every specification. If the payment terminal model or software
requirement is not final, say so. AONPOS can help define a default configuration for testing, but hidden
requirements should be identified as early as possible. For example, changing from a simple QR payment
flow to an EMV card terminal after the enclosure is finalized may require mechanical redesign.

The best RFQ outcome
A strong RFQ should lead to a clear sample configuration, not only a price list. The supplier should be able
to confirm product type, module layout, configuration, estimated cost, lead time, and open questions. This
creates a better basis for a sample order and later bulk deployment.
