Intelligent Manufacturing: From Blueprints to Comparisons in Minutes.
Upload the blueprint (CAD, PDF) and the AI buyer takes it from there: it sends the package to workshops, collects the quotes, and returns a comparison with price and lead time.

The problem
Quoting a machined part means emailing heavy files to five workshops and then chasing four of them for a reply. Each quote comes back in a different format, someone rebuilds them into a spreadsheet, and the production schedule waits on all of it.
The solution
The AI buyer works the RFQ around the clock. It sends the blueprints, chases the workshops that go quiet, reads proposals in whatever format they arrive (email, PDF, Excel), and builds the comparison with price, lead time, and capacity.
70% less time spent requesting and consolidating manufacturing quotes
The back-and-forth with workshops runs through one channel, on the record
Comparison charts ready in minutes, with cost and delivery side by side
Features for manufacturing.
Automatic blueprint delivery
Attach the blueprints once. Sourced delivers them to every selected workshop together with the quote requirements, and confirms who received what.
Centralized quotes
Quotes land in one place regardless of how the workshop sent them. No more fishing proposals out of individual inboxes.
Instant comparisons
The comparison builds itself as quotes arrive, scored on price, delivery time, and each supplier's track record.
Questions about manufacturing in Sourced.
Can I send technical blueprints to suppliers?
Yes. Sourced allows you to attach technical files (blueprints, specifications, CAD files) to each quote request. Suppliers receive them along with the order.
Does it work for complex parts and assemblies?
Yes. Sourced handles requests with multiple line items, each with its own technical specifications and manufacturing requirements.
What file formats does Sourced accept for blueprints?
Sourced accepts PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, and IGES files, as well as images (JPG, PNG). Files are attached to the RFQ and sent directly to suppliers. There are no file size limits for practical purposes.
Can I compare quotes from workshops in different countries?
Yes. Sourced normalizes quotes across currencies and units of measure so you can compare domestic and international workshops on equal terms. The AI factors in delivery time and freight costs for a complete comparison.
Does it work for MRO and indirect procurement too?
Yes. While Sourced excels at manufacturing procurement with blueprint handling, it works equally well for MRO (maintenance, repair, operations) and indirect categories like office supplies, IT equipment, and professional services.
