How vendor works
Build projects and grow your business
Whether you’re a manufacturer, fabricator, or maker, our platform helps you find the right projects, connect with clients, and get paid securely. Here’s how it works:
- Register
Create your free account in just a few clicks, complete the registration process, and you'll be able to post projects and connect with verified vendors securely.
- Find jobs
Explore projects across industries — from CNC machining to 3d printing, sheet metal work, art installations, and more. Filter by service type, materials, or project size to find the jobs that fit your skills.
- Provide your instant quote
When you see a project you’d like to take on, place a bid. Include your pricing, lead time, and any notes that help the client understand why you’re the right fit.
- Accept an Offer & Wait for Completion
Compare your options, choose the vendor that fits best, and approve the offer. Your funds are held securely until the work is complete.
- Build once accepted
If the client accepts your bid, funds are held securely through the platform. You complete the project, deliver the work, and get paid once the client confirms completion.
How clients post projects
Clients post projects with details like materials, dimensions, and timelines. You’ll receive all the information you need to prepare an accurate quote. Some projects will also include cad files or sketches to make things easier.
Managing your bids
Bid wisely — only place quotes on projects you’re confident you can complete.
Be clear — outline your lead times, costs, and what’s included in your bid.
Communicate — use the platform’s messaging system to ask questions before a client accepts.
After you win a project
Funds are already secured before you begin.
You deliver the completed work directly to the client.
Payment is released as soon as the client confirms the project is done.
Tips for successful collaboration
Working well with clients leads to repeat business and better reviews. Keep these in mind:
Respond quickly to client questions or requests.
Stay transparent about timelines and costs.
Keep communication on the platform to ensure both payment protection and a clear record.
Deliver quality — strong results build trust and grow your reputation.
Technical guidance
For the best results when bidding on projects:
Review client files carefully before placing a bid.
Ask for clarifications if details are missing (materials, quantities, deadlines).
Suggest alternatives if you see a way to improve manufacturability or save costs.
