Canada's sourcing service for custom parts manufacturing & finishing
For shops

Qualified RFQs, matched to what you run

Buyers come to Made to Spec ready to send a drawing. We match each RFQ to the shops that can genuinely run it, on process, material, certification and region, then hand it to you to quote. No clicks, no impressions, no tire-kickers. We are signing founding shops now, and founders lock today's rate.

A clear split
You focus on production. We find the work.

We do the part you do not have time for, finding and vetting buyers, and leave you the part you are good at. And we stay out of the deal: you talk to the buyer, keep the customer, and keep your full margin.

We handle

  • Getting found: we rank in Canadian buyers' searches, so the RFQs come to us.
  • Matching: every RFQ checked against your processes, materials, certifications and region.
  • Vetting: a person reads the spec and confirms the buyer is real before it reaches you.
  • Your listing: a verified public profile with your certifications, kept current as your sector opens.

You handle

  • Quoting the jobs that fit. Pass on the ones that do not, no obligation.
  • Making the part, the work you are set up to do.
  • Talking to the buyer directly and keeping the customer.
  • Keeping your full margin. We make the introduction and take no cut of your invoice.

That is the difference from a marketplace that inserts itself between you and the buyer and marks up your price: we make the introduction and step out of the way.

What you get
Work that fits your shop, not a lead list

We are not a pay-per-click directory. Every RFQ is checked for fit before it reaches you.

01

Exact-match RFQs

Every job is matched on process, material, certification and region. You only see work you can actually run, never a generic blast.

02

No clicks, no tire-kickers

No pay-per-click and no impressions. Buyers arrive with a drawing and a real spec, ready to quote.

03

You keep the customer

You quote the buyer directly and own the relationship. We make the introduction, we do not sit on your margin.

04

Canadian buyers and files

Work from Canadian buyers, with drawings that stay on Canadian infrastructure under Canadian law.

05

Pre-qualified by a human

Our concierge reads every RFQ before it reaches you, so the spec is complete and the buyer is real.

06

First dibs on a listing

Founding shops get a verified public profile first as their sector's directory opens to buyers.

How it works
From capabilities to won work
Step 1

Tell us what you run

Send your capabilities once: processes, materials, certifications, tolerances and region.

Step 2

We match the RFQs

When a buyer's job fits your shop, we route it to you, already checked for fit.

Step 3

You quote

Quote the jobs you want. No obligation on the ones you pass on.

Step 4

You win the work

The buyer picks a shop and you deliver. Repeat work comes straight back to you.

Where this is going
The roadmap

Made to Spec is being built in the open. Here is where we are and what founding shops get next.

Phase 1 · Now

Concierge matching, directory going live

We hand-match buyer RFQs to the right shops and route them by email. The public directory of real Canadian shops is already live for seven sectors (aerospace, defence, oil and gas, medical, mining, automotive and robotics and automation) and growing.

Phase 2 · Next

Verified, claimed profiles

Founding shops claim and verify their public profile: certifications confirmed against the issuing registry, full capability matrix, equipment and selected work, in front of buyers who are already sending RFQs.

Phase 3 · Later

Self-serve quoting and marketplace

Instant-quote tools, buyer messaging and managed sourcing, so quoting and winning work happens in the platform. Founders shape what we build and in what order.
