What it is
MFG.com is a web marketplace where engineers, purchasers, and industrial designers source custom metal, plastic, and rubber parts from manufacturers worldwide. Buyers submit RFQs that can reach multiple manufacturers matched by location, capabilities, and certifications, then compare quotes in one dashboard. They can upload or create purchase orders and receive real-time part-status updates after suppliers accept orders. Electronic NDAs control supplier access to RFQ files, including an approval requirement before access. Quote Assist analyzes a manufacturer’s pricing, capabilities, and materials to produce editable estimates. Suppliers need paid MFG membership to submit marketplace quotes, and MFG Materials is available exclusively to paid suppliers. Buyers can pay invoices through Stripe. MFG provides QuickBooks Online connection instructions requiring an existing Intuit subscription. Account validation requires a company logo and website link, and buyer RFQs are reviewed before release. The standard NDA limits RFQ data use to quoting and manufacturing and prohibits external sharing.
