Partners

The upstream funnel that ends in your queue.

BlastRFQ generates qualified RFQs for SMB manufacturing shops. Quoting platforms, ERP vendors, and supplier-side software make those shops fast at responding. The integration point is the RFQ→quote handoff — where your workflow begins and ours ends.

01

Where we end, where you start.

We're explicit about the boundary so the partnership conversation is short.

BlastRFQ

We do the buyer side.

Buyer dashboard, RFQ creation with per-material spec fields, vendor matching + ranking, blast delivery, award workflow, compliance trail, printable award letters.

BlastRFQ

We own the matching engine.

Per-RFQ scored supplier list using capability + materials + certs + state/region + MOQ + lead-time + responsiveness + win rate + organization quality. Itemized reasons visible to the buyer before any email goes out.

You

You do the supplier side.

CAD analysis, shop-floor quoting workflow, customer portal, supplier-side ERP integrations, capacity planning — everything that happens after a shop decides to quote.

You

You own the shop relationship.

Your customer is the shop. We don't want to be — we want our buyers to find your shops and your shops to look good when they do.

02

Five ways we integrate, in order of effort.

Start with profile sync. Layer the rest as the partnership proves out.

Profile sync

Lowest lift

You already know your shops' real capabilities, materials, certs, and capacity better than any third-party enrichment ever will. A nightly webhook from your side to our vendor records makes our match scoring instantly better for every shared shop.

  • Webhook target: capabilities, materials, certs, capacity bounds, location
  • We map to organizations.vendor_capabilities + vendor_materials
  • Match scoring picks up the new data on the next blast — no re-deploy
  • Bi-directional: we can also push the shop a "claim & confirm" link for any field they want to override

RFQ webhook delivery

Medium lift

When BlastRFQ blasts to a shop that uses your platform, the RFQ payload posts to your webhook so it lands in the shop's inbound queue with full structured spec data — not as an email the shop has to parse manually.

  • Outbound from lib/blast.ts via our existing sendGuarded chokepoint pattern
  • Configurable per-partner via partner_id on the organizations row
  • Includes RFQ spec (material, alloy, qty, thickness, width, lead time, delivery zip)
  • Includes a token-auth link back to the BlastRFQ vendor portal for actions the shop wants to take outside your platform

Quote write-back

Medium lift

When a shop quotes via your platform, you POST the quote back to BlastRFQ so the buyer sees the structured quote in their dashboard alongside any quotes that came in through other channels. Closes the loop.

  • POST to /api/quotes/submit-token with structured payload
  • Quote appears immediately in the buyer's RFQ detail page
  • Feeds the win-rate flywheel: every awarded quote teaches the match engine
  • No double-entry for the shop: one quote, two surfaces

Buyer feedback signals back to your shops

Medium lift

Every BlastRFQ buyer scorecards each quote at award time — chip-style tags like "spec interpretation," "lead time," "communication quality." We aggregate those signals per shop and feed them back to your platform so your shop dashboard can show "3 of your last 5 BlastRFQ buyers cited spec interpretation as the reason they didn't award" — actionable data your shops literally can't get anywhere else.

  • Aggregate per-shop tag counts over the last 90 days, anonymized at the buyer level
  • Pushed via webhook on the same cadence as profile sync (configurable)
  • Closes the learning loop on your side: buyers tell us what they want, we tell your shops what to improve
  • No PII leaves the platform — only categorical tag counts

Co-marketing

No engineering

You recommend BlastRFQ to your shops who want more inbound RFQ volume. We recommend you to vendors who quote often and want a real quoting workflow. Both directions.

  • Mutual referral link in respective customer dashboards
  • Joint case study after the first 90 days of a pilot
  • Co-presence at trade shows where it makes sense
03

What partnership looks like in the first 90 days.

  1. 1
    Week 1: Scope a single integration (profile sync recommended). Identify the technical contact on each side. Agree on a payload contract.
  2. 2
    Weeks 2–3: We ship the receiver endpoint. You ship the sender on your timeline. Test against one shared shop in staging.
  3. 3
    Weeks 4–8: Roll out to a meaningful set of shared shops. Measure: match-quality lift, RFQ-to-quote conversion, shop satisfaction.
  4. 4
    Weeks 9–12:Decide whether to layer in the next integration (RFQ webhook delivery or quote write-back) based on what the data shows. Joint case study if there's a clear win story.
04

What we look like under the hood.

If your engineering team wants to dig in before the first call:

  • →/how-it-works— architecture explainer with sample match-reason output
  • →/security— auth model, RLS, compliance posture
  • →/changelog— what shipped (proves the team is real and the cadence is real)
  • →/roadmap— what's next, organized by horizon

Let's talk.

If you run a platform where the shop ends up after the RFQ lands, there's probably a 30-day pilot we can scope this week.
