How Vendra Works
One RFQ. Vetted U.S. shops. Fast quotes.
Vendra is the supply-chain platform that connects U.S. hardware companies with qualified American manufacturers. Upload your part, get matched to the right shops, receive competitive quotes, and ship parts, all under one PO with one C of C.
The Vendra workflow
From RFQ to delivered parts in a single tracked workflow.
01 · UPLOAD & SUBMIT
Upload your CAD, drawings, and spec sheets.
Drop in STEP, IGES, PDFs, BOMs, and inspection requirements. Vendra parses geometry, materials, finishes, and special-process requirements automatically.
What you upload
- 3D CAD: STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, X_T
- 2D drawings: PDF, DWG, DXF
- BOMs and inspection requirements
- Special-process callouts (anodize, NDT, FAI, etc.)
- Quantities, target dates, and ITAR classification
Security at upload
- Files encrypted at rest and in transit
- ITAR-classified data isolated on AWS GovCloud
- Access gated to U.S. persons for controlled data
- Per-RFQ access controls, no public buckets
02 · AI MATCHING
Your part is matched to qualified shops automatically.
Vendra's matching layer reads the geometry, material, tolerance, finish, and certification requirements, then routes the RFQ only to suppliers that meet them.
Matching signals
- Process: CNC milling, turning, molding, sheet metal, etc.
- Material expertise (aluminum, titanium, Inconel, PEEK, etc.)
- Tolerance class and feature criticality
- Certifications required: ITAR, AS9100, ISO 13485, NQA-1
- Volumes, lead times, and program maturity
Supplier gating
- Export classification enforced before drawings are visible
- U.S.-persons-only flag on ITAR-controlled data
- Per-supplier file access log
- Revocable at any point in the workflow
03 · QUOTES IN <24 HOURS
