Mumbai's B2B start-up Karkhana.io launches digital platform

This new platform has a user-friendly interface and provides a highly intuitive experience for ordering custom parts for manufacturing and is aimed at bringing speed to the whole manufacturing process which will in turn streamline the industry across India, the company said in a statement.

 

Currently, the industry is highly fragmented, and the process of finding the right vendor and figuring out the manufacturing process, the fair price etc. is quite tedious, time-consuming and inefficient. The digital platform is perfectly designed after a detailed study on the critical pain-points customers, across enterprises of all sizes, face while getting parts manufactured. The platform provides complete visibility to the user at each stage of the manufacturing process.

 

On this occasion, Sonam Motwani, Founder & CEO, Karkhana.io said: “We are so proud to launch this unique platform for our customers after we examined the pain points our customers were facing when it came to getting custom parts manufactured. From day one our goal has always been to revolutionize manufacturing through digitalization and this launch is just a step ahead to make manufacturing of custom parts faster and easier than ever.”

 

The platform offers unique features such as:

1. Instant creation of “Request for Quotation (RFQ)” and Status Update: Customers can create RFQs on the platform and track how much time it will take to receive the quotation. This feature saves customers from the tedium of making and sending RFQs via emails, and following up with suppliers.

2. “Design for Manufacturability (DfM)” Feedback: This feature provides a complete feedback on the manufacturability of the design, and saves the customer the hassle of making design changes during manufacturing. Users can inspect the design through the unique 3D viewer.

3. Order Management: This provides step-by-step access to order updates with pictures, quality report, material test report, dispatch and delivery schedule of every component on the dashboard.

4. Parts Management: A library of all the parts and orders. Users can place orders at the click of a button.

According to the comapny, Karkhana.io is developing a large network of vendors to provide services including CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, casting, and stamping. The integrated vendor network allows Karkhana.io to control the quality of production, and provide visibility to customers on the progress of their projects via the digital platform.
