Challenge any exact industrial part number
A Challenge is not a catalog browse and not a stock check. You already have a last quote (or a clear incumbent price/lead) for one exact industrial article. IRONHUNT hunts the same part number and tries to beat landed price or delivery.
Start intake: ironhunt.app/ · Fee after a result: /pay/#challenge
What Challenge means
If there is an accepted apples-to-apples beat, you pay the component supplier for the part. IRONHUNT invoices a success fee only: 20% of verified landed savings, $250 minimum. No accepted beat → no Challenge outcome fee.
Exact PN only
- Allowed — The exact OEM catalog / PN / MLFB on the quote; qty, ship-to, required-by, condition preference; incumbent landed price / lead when you have them.
- Not allowed without written approval — “Or equivalent,” near revision, silent substitute. IRONHUNT does not certify compatibility. IRONHUNT does not claim inventory.
Family hunt pages under /parts/ are discovery examples — not a warehouse and not the limit of intake.
Name ship-to & when
Ship-to and required-by. You want a beat on landed cost or delivery — not a retainer.
No quote / line down?
Use Rush Hunt — $250 only after a purchase-ready landed offer; zero offers → no fee.
Step-by-step
- Open https://ironhunt.app/.
- Drop the last quote (PDF or photo) or type the exact industrial part number / catalog / MLFB.
- Add email, ship-to, and required-by (qty defaults to 1). Optional: company, name, phone, condition, line status, incumbent price/lead, notes.
- Tap Send challenge — copies a packet and opens mail. Attach the original quote file in that email (mailto cannot attach files automatically).
- IRONHUNT hunts that exact article only.
- After an accepted beat, pay the IRONHUNT fee at /pay/#challenge. The plant still pays the supplier for the part.
Fees — what you pay whom
Challenge (you have a last quote): 20% of verified landed savings after an accepted beat, $250 min. No beat → no outcome fee. You pay the part to the supplier.
Rush Hunt (no last quote; line down or at risk): $250 after a purchase-ready landed offer. Zero offers → no fee. Start Rush · Pay Rush
Repair-fill (failed module on the bench): same Rush fee rule. Repair-fill
Watchtower (later ping only): free waitlist today; signup does not authorize a charge. Watchtower
Do not pay to start a hunt. Intake is free. Never put a part purchase on the IRONHUNT fee checkout. Prepaid research packets (Decode / Band / Autopsy) live on /pay/ — see also prepaid guide.
