Find industrial suppliers your network doesn't know.
The truly unreliable thing is working with the same ones as always. FQ Source is built on a proprietary vector database of 100,000+ specialized industrial suppliers — growing daily — indexed by actual technical capability rather than rigid categories. Start free with semantic search; run end-to-end RFQ agents when a case demands structured workflow.
Search Alike is free and the front door. Describe the capability you need in plain language and the engine returns a shortlist with similarity scores, matching products, certifications and country. The cross-vertical embedding finds suppliers a category-by-category directory misses — a machining shop that also handles thermal treatments, an integrator that combines CNC with additive, a vision house that knows recycling. The truly unreliable thing is working with the same suppliers as always; this is how you find the ones you didn't know existed.
The RFQ agents close the loop when you need structure. They turn a plain-language project description into a structured RFQ, distribute it to qualified suppliers, centralize all responses, and — when a supplier uploads a commercial or technical proposal — analyze it and slot the result into a side-by-side comparison with reasoning, pricing and risk flags. Your team reviews and decides. The final supplier choice stays with you.
Built for procurement, engineering and sourcing teams in manufacturing, energy, robotics, machine vision, additive manufacturing, chemical, cybersecurity, civil engineering and other industrial verticals where supplier discovery is hard. Start free with 10 Search Alike queries per month plus a trial RFQ project — then scale with Growth and Professional plans priced per project (not per seat), or plug the database into your stack via REST API and MCP server with Enterprise.
