How Ixplor works

From discovery to outcome. A clear process for both sides.

Ixplor helps providers and seekers run structured product trials with clear ownership, shipment visibility, and shared context at every stage.

Two journeys, one operational model

The platform adapts to each side of the trial while keeping shared milestones and accountability aligned.

If you offer products

Provider path

  1. Create a company workspace and add your product. Publishing your first product starts company review; you can publish it once the company is approved.
  2. Review each request and its stated trial purpose, then accept or decline it.
  3. Arrange outbound shipping under the product’s trial terms and record delivery updates on the trial.
  4. Answer questions in trial chat while the requester evaluates the product and submits feedback.
  5. If the product is returned, confirm receipt and condition. Close the trial with the appropriate outcome.

If you source solutions

Seeker path

  1. Set up your company workspace and a shipping address, then find products through the marketplace or AI-assisted discovery.
  2. Request a trial with a reason and shipping address; review the product’s trial and shipping terms.
  3. After the provider accepts, follow shipping updates until the product arrives.
  4. Test it in your own environment, mark it tested, and share feedback on the trial.
  5. Return it with tracking when required, or agree with the provider to keep it. Use the result to decide what comes next.

One place for the trial details

The request, messages, shipping details, and feedback stay connected to the same trial.

A clear starting point

A request names the product, the reason for the trial, and a shipping address. Product trial terms set the shipping responsibilities.

Shipping and return updates

Delivery and return tracking can be recorded on the trial as each side updates its progress.

Conversation in context

After acceptance, both sides can discuss the trial in its chat. Evaluation feedback is recorded on the trial separately.

A shared history

Status changes and participation are attached to the trial, with access scoped to the companies involved.
