The problem
Managing manufacturing procurement is a chaos of emails, heavy files, and endless follow-ups. Time lost chasing suppliers for quotes delays your production lines and exhausts your team.
The solution
Our AI buyers manage manufacturing quotes 24/7: they send blueprints to workshops, collect proposals in any format (email, PDF, Excel), and generate comparisons with price, lead time, and capacity.
Reduce time spent requesting manufacturing quotes by 70%
Eliminate manual back-and-forth with suppliers through a centralized channel
Comparison charts ready in minutes to analyze costs and delivery times

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.
