Source Precision Mechanical Parts for Robotics

SOURCIX is a procurement workspace for sourcing precision mechanical parts.

You upload drawings or BOMs, and SOURCIX helps you:

• Analyze drawings for manufacturability and tolerance requirements

• Match parts with qualified global suppliers

• Run structured RFQs across multiple vendors

• Compare quotes, lead times, and capabilities

• Manage sourcing decisions across the full mechanical BOM

Unlike traditional sourcing platforms, SOURCIX combines software automation, supplier intelligence, and procurement workflows in one system.

Your team stays in control of supplier selection and purchasing decisions.

SOURCIX is not a manufacturer or broker.

We provide the software platform and supplier network that helps robotics teams source parts faster and with better visibility.

Your team works directly with suppliers, while SOURCIX manages:

• Supplier matching

• RFQ distribution

• Quote comparison

• Project sourcing workflows

• BOM-level sourcing coordination

This keeps pricing transparent and gives procurement teams full control.

Manufacturing marketplaces treat sourcing as a single transaction – upload a part, receive quotes, place an order.

SOURCIX treats sourcing as a continuous project.

Every part, vendor, quote, decision, and outcome lives inside a shared project workspace. Instead of resetting every RFQ, teams build a sourcing history that compounds over time.

That means:

• Decisions are made with full visibility, not isolated quotes

• Supplier knowledge accumulates instead of restarting with every RFQ

• Projects remain auditable and reusable as designs evolve or production scales

You can start with a single RFQ – but over time you’re building durable sourcing infrastructure, not repeating the same process again and again.

SOURCIX works with a vetted global network of precision manufacturers across 15+ countries, including over 5,000 CNC machines and 1,000+ sheet metal fabrication machines.

The network covers a wide range of processes, including:

• CNC machining, precision turning, sheet metal fabrication, tube bending, and welded assemblies

• Investment casting, die casting, injection molding, and urethane casting

• Additive manufacturing and multi-process builds

Many suppliers maintain industry certifications such as ISO 9001, AS9100D, and ISO 13485, and regularly produce parts for robotics, aerospace, defense, medical devices, agriculture, and advanced hardware systems.

SOURCIX matches each part with suppliers that have proven experience with the required materials, processes, and tolerance levels.

Yes. Once you select a supplier, orders are placed directly through the SOURCIX platform.

SOURCIX manages the process end-to-end, including:

• Payment handling

• Production coordination

• Global logistics and delivery

• Quality issue resolution

Our sourcing engine already reduces risk by matching parts with suppliers proven to meet the required materials, processes, and tolerances.

If issues still occur SOURCIX actively manages recovery. The platform identifies vetted alternative suppliers and can initiate replacement production quickly so projects stay on schedule.

This means your team doesn’t have to restart the sourcing process – SOURCIX handles the recovery and keeps parts moving.

Most robotics teams manage sourcing through spreadsheets, emails, and fragmented vendor lists.

SOURCIX replaces that with a structured sourcing workspace that:

• Organizes sourcing across the entire mechanical BOM

• Tracks every RFQ, revision, and supplier decision

• Matches parts with capable suppliers automatically

• Centralizes quotes, pricing, and lead times

• Maintains sourcing knowledge for future builds

The result is faster sourcing cycles, fewer mistakes, and preserved procurement knowledge.

SOURCIX is designed to work with both your existing suppliers and the SOURCIX supplier network.

You can:

• Invite your preferred vendors to RFQs

• Compare them against additional qualified suppliers

• Maintain long-term supplier relationships

The platform simply makes the sourcing process more structured and transparent.

You can open a SOURCIX account and start sourcing immediately at no cost.

The free tier allows you to:

• Upload drawings or BOMs

• Launch RFQs to global suppliers

• Access the SOURCIX supplier network

• Compare quotes and lead times

• Manage sourcing projects in one workspace

• Use anonymized RFQs to protect your company identity if needed

There are no limits on suppliers or sourcing projects.

You only pay when you place an order through the platform.

SOURCIX charges a small transaction fee on completed orders, which is typically far smaller than the savings teams achieve through:

• Better supplier matching

• Competitive quoting across vendors

• Market pricing intelligence

• Reduced procurement labor and manual sourcing work

For most teams, the cost reduction and time saved significantly outweigh the transaction fee.

Advanced tiers unlock additional capabilities for teams running complex sourcing programs:

Drawing Verifier
AI-powered manufacturability checks that detect missing tolerances, conflicting specs, and potential production risks before sending drawings to suppliers.

Price Analysis
Cost prediction and pricing benchmarks to identify overpriced quotes and optimize supplier selection.

Similarity Catalog
Automatically detect previously sourced parts with similar geometry to reuse supplier knowledge and pricing history.

Access Control
Enterprise-grade document management and permission controls to securely manage sensitive engineering files.

These features help engineering and procurement teams scale sourcing workflows while maintaining control over cost, quality, and supplier knowledge.

SOURCIX is used collaboratively by:

• Procurement teams managing supplier relationships

• Mechanical engineers responsible for part specifications

• NPI teams coordinating prototype builds

• Operations teams managing production sourcing

The platform creates a shared sourcing workspace across engineering and procurement.

SOURCIX is designed to protect engineering IP throughout the sourcing process.

All documents are encrypted, and access is tightly controlled so only authorized suppliers can view the files needed to quote.

Key protections include:

• Anonymized RFQs – Hide company identity, program names, or sensitive context from vendors when needed

• View-only secure file access – Drawings can be reviewed in a protected viewer with no download, print, or local storage

• Automatic access revocation – Vendor access is removed immediately when bidding closes or suppliers are not selected

• Full activity tracking – Every document interaction is logged, including who viewed it and when

This creates a closed, controlled environment for sourcing where sensitive technical data stays protected without slowing procurement.
