Tuffy Marketplace

Tuffy Marketplace is a free site where a business describes one technology need, such as internet, phones, cybersecurity, IT or payments, and an advisor at Tuffy Communications, a technology services broker based in Southern California, picks up to 3 vetted providers for it from a portfolio of more than 430, or, in most categories, the business chooses them itself.

How it works

  1. Describe one technology need, such as internet, phones, cybersecurity, IT or payments.
  2. A Tuffy advisor picks up to 3 vetted providers for you. Your advisor chooses the ones that fit your location and needs. Prefer to choose? In most categories you can pick up to 3 yourself from the providers that serve it. For internet, your advisor picks the ones that serve your address. No AI picks or ranks providers. Your request is never sent to the whole portfolio.
  3. Compare the proposals and decide. Your service agreement is directly with the provider you choose, and Tuffy Communications stays on your side as your advisor.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Providers pay Tuffy when a business signs with one of them, and the business pays the provider directly, often at a better price than it would find on the provider's own website.

Where does Tuffy work?

Tuffy Communications is based in Southern California and arranges services in all 50 states, for U.S. companies' offices around the world, and for businesses based in other countries.

Can I just track my current agreements?

Yes. Add an agreement with its renewal date and Tuffy Marketplace reminds you before it renews. Nothing is sent to a provider unless you ask.

How fast will I hear back?

Usually within about 2 business days, sometimes sooner. Your Tuffy advisor emails you the options that fit.

How fast is it to start a request?

A few minutes. Type what you need, or just describe it out loud and the site writes the request for you, turning several needs into several requests. Or upload a recent bill or statement, as a PDF or photos, and the site lays it out and fills in the request from it. No account is needed to start, and nothing is sent until you review it.

How does Tuffy use AI?

When you upload an agreement, a statement or bill, or a proposal, or when you dictate a request, AI reads it and fills in the details for you. Everything it fills in is marked, and you check it before you rely on it. No AI picks or ranks providers. For a photo of a statement or bill, our transcription model reads the page before account, PIN and reference details are redacted. Those details are removed before charges are sorted, are not shown in results, and are not stored by Tuffy.
