About VendorCAD
Win the RFQ before competitors finish the PDF.
The configurator that gets you designed in first: customers size the part, see exactly what they're getting, and download STEP the moment they request a quote.
Mission
Get designed in first. Keep the buyer designing.
Too many manufacturers still run configure-to-order as a dimension PDF into five inboxes. Generic ecommerce cannot express the rules. Waiting on a redraw loses the layout slot. VendorCAD is the CAD-backed configurator that makes your STEP the one they build around — without replacing your CAD seat or PLM.
For the business: Higher win rate. Comparison-shopping buyers design around the supplier who delivers a correct model instantly — before competitors respond.
For their customer: No more PDF guesswork or back-and-forth decoding dimensions. See it, get the STEP file, keep designing. Quote requests carry the exact spec.
Why now
Comparison shopping is the default. Speed and clarity win.
Mid-market manufacturers lose deals not because they are expensive, but because a competitor’s model landed in the assembly first. The category is ready for configurators serious enough for engineering and fast enough for the buyer’s layout clock — delivered as DFY implementation, not a toolkit dump.
Principles
How we build and sell.
01
Specification lock is the job
The supplier who puts a correct STEP in the buyer’s assembly first usually wins. We build for that race — not for prettier 3D alone.
02
Ambiguity is the enemy
PDF dimension forms and “interpreted to the best of our ability” quotes bake in doubt. The model must be the request.
03
Always both halves
Business buyers pay for win rate. Their customers need see-it / get-the-file / keep-designing. Say both — never only drafting-cost savings.
04
No fake proof
We do not invent customer logos, ROI percentages, or features that are still placeholders. Credibility compounds.
Credibility
Sales-led, implementation-led.
VendorCAD ships as B2B SaaS plus done-for-you catalog work. Commercial terms stay honest: discovery, pilot, then catalog. Case studies publish as pilots approve — we will not invent logos or win-rate percentages. Product app surfaces (catalog, configure, share, admin) stay industrial and usable, not marketing chrome bolted onto the studio.
