Helping Buyers Build U.S. Supplier Networks
Fabricating.com’s SourceNow platform is engineered for maximum throughput of RFQ (Request for Quote) requirements. The system analyzes part details from a Buyer’s RFQ and locates U.S.-based contract manufacturers with the expertise and machine assets needed for the job. Suppliers use the same streamlined, paperless system to quote for business. The sourcing platform adheres to the newest Web standards and provides support for CAD files, Excel spreadsheets, and other popular engineering file formats. The solution can also be integrated with Buyside enterprise applications, and provides a central point for all sourcing intelligence with a host of management tools and analytics for any size purchasing department.
Helping U.S. Suppliers Fill their Business Pipeline
The Fabricating.com marketplace provides RFQ opportunities for U.S. Suppliers who want to build a customer pipeline or expand their current client base. The sourcing system analyzes each RFQ posted online by Buyers, then flags the Supplier when an opportunity precisely matches their expertise, capacity, and machine assets. Based on detailed engineering drawings and documentation provided, Suppliers use the same paperless system to quote for the job. A strategic business development tool, Fabricating.com can also be utilized to manage quotes, standardize procedures, and diminish the headache of missing engineering drawings and documents.
