Xometry，Inc。在Thomasnet.com上揭示了新的数字采购工具，供企业买家和针对供应商的新的基于云的制造执行系统，该系统将向第三方开发人员开放，以构建集成应用程序。新产品旨在使买家和供应商更加近距离，并进一步加快当地弹性供应链的创建。
At the company’s “Xometry Marketplace Summit: Powering Tomorrow’s Supply Chain,” Xometry CEO Randy Altschuler detailed how the popular Xometry Instant Quoting Engine, Job Board and financial services features from the Xometry Marketplace are now fully integrated into the Thomasnet.com platform. Tightly integrating the Xometry Marketplace and Thomasnet.com platform enables Xometry to scale its network of active buyers and suppliers more rapidly by putting the “buy it now” option in front of the more than 1.4 million Thomas registered users who generate millions of sourcing and quoting sessions annually, Altschuler said.
The new products unveiled today include:
• The Industrial Buying Engine, which helps enterprise customers source and purchase from the more than 500,000 top suppliers on Thomasnet.com. It digitizes the old and time-consuming request-for-quote process, condensing to just hours or minutes what once took days and weeks to complete. Through the Industrial Buying Engine, enterprise buyers can request quotes for products and services from trusted, high-value suppliers and they can also access the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine for more immediate transactions. Additionally, buyers can start a conversation with suppliers directly on Thomasnet.com, and suppliers can instantly submit quotes and accept projects. The Industrial Buying Engine will be available on Thomasnet.com beginning June 30th.
•WorkCenter，为供应商提供了一站式视图，以了解其所有Xotry和非Xemetry工作。WorkCenter是一个集中的项目管理和支付解决方案，将供应商对Xometry（如受欢迎的工作委员会和金融服务）的热爱带入一个易于使用的系统。借助WorkCenter，商店所有者可以为其所有项目（包括非X米客户的项目）构建和管理工作流程；引用了Xometry和Thomas的新项目；将任务分配给团队成员并跟踪项目状态。WorkCenter坚固耐用，但足够灵活，可以帮助中小型制造商实现急需的飞跃数字。WorkCenter还可以帮助供应商利用加急付款条款，以便他们可以继续扩展。WorkCenter将免费获得WorkCenter.xometry.com。
Additionally, Altschuler noted that Xometry will open up the API-enabled Workcenter to third-party developers, establishing Workcenter as an emerging platform for innovators seeking to deliver an ecosystem of interconnected solutions for suppliers.
Altschuler指出：“最近的全球事件强调了Xometry在制造业快速数字化转型中所起的至关重要作用的需求，从采购过程到车间。”“随着我们庞大而不断增长的供应商网络，扩大了制造能力集和与客户内部系统集成的新软件，Xometry是企业范围内的解决方案。我们在整个供应链中工作，一方面与采购经理，买家和工程师一起深深地嵌入，另一方面是成千上万的制造商。
“我们正在迅速扩展成为技术解决方案，该解决方案推动了2.4万亿美元的制造业的效率，我们正成为买家购买服务和全国成千上万的中小型供应商的事实上的轨道，交付了它，” Altschuler添加了。“借助我们新的综合工业购买引擎和工作中心产品，我们利用AI驱动的Xometry Marketplace的力量来利用战略收购托马斯，并立即引用能力，以实现我们对高级技术解决方案的承诺，从而使购买者和供应商受益。新产品与我们在国外经济的骨干倡导制造业的使命保持一致。”
