Controlled manufacturing sourcing
Source manufactured parts without losing control of your drawings.
Create one RFQ, choose who can access it, receive comparable supplier quotations and keep the complete sourcing decision in one place.
For complex manufacturing requirements: CNC machining, fabrication, sheet metal, finishing, inspection and other work where supplier judgement matters.
What the buyer controls
- Automatic capability matching or an exact buyer-selected supplier list.
- Country and region restrictions for domestic or international sourcing.
- Confidentiality acceptance before suppliers download sensitive files.
- Supplier engagement, file-access and clarification evidence.
- Normalised quotation comparison and a retained decision record.
The problem SupplyForge solves
Stop running important RFQs through disconnected email chains.
Email makes it difficult to control drawing distribution, understand supplier engagement, compare inconsistent quotations and preserve the evidence behind an award decision.
Capture parts, quantities, materials, drawings, deadlines, inspection needs and commercial context in one controlled RFQ.
Match by capability or select the exact suppliers. Restrict geography and gate sensitive files behind confidentiality acceptance.
Review supplier fit, engagement, price, lead time, assumptions and exclusions without losing the original RFQ context.
Product workflow
See the control layer before you register.
SupplyForge is designed around a visible sourcing event rather than a blind lead form or uncontrolled RFQ board.
