01
You define the requirement
Provide the test method, standard, drawing, inspection method, calibration range, coating process or other technical service, together with the material, product, component or asset involved.
How industrial technical sourcing works
From a defined material, product or asset requirement to a credible Provider search.
SpecVertex is designed for the gap between knowing what technical work is required and knowing which independent organisation can actually perform it.
Primary domain
Industrial materials & products
Who pays SpecVertex
The Buyer, by default
Final Provider decision
Always yours
02
We screen the sourcing request
We check whether the industrial requirement is sufficiently defined for sourcing. If the underlying technical, regulatory or engineering requirement itself still needs to be determined, that sits outside this sourcing intake.
03
You receive a sourcing scope
If the request fits, we provide a written Buyer-funded sourcing scope and fee. No Provider is contacted and no sourcing fee is incurred until you accept it.
04
We search relevant technical markets
Primary P0 focus is testing and laboratories, inspection & NDT, calibration and coatings / surface treatment, with CNC, fabrication and specialist manufacturing available where relevant.
05
We clarify factual provider fit
Where practical, you receive organised information such as stated capability, accreditation or qualification, process limits, quotation status, lead time, location and unresolved questions.
06
You select and engage the Provider
You decide whether a Provider meets your project needs. The selected Provider contracts with you directly and performs the work under its own terms, quality systems and professional responsibility.
After a successful introduction
The Provider relationship is yours.
You can continue dealing directly with an introduced Provider. SpecVertex does not need to sit in the middle or collect an ongoing commission on ordinary repeat work.
When the next sourcing problem appears
Come back for a different capability.
The next need may be another test method, an inspection technique, a calibration range, a coating process, a backup source or specialist manufacturing capability.
Responsibility boundary
What SpecVertex does not take over.
The sourcing layer helps reduce capability-discovery friction. It does not move the underlying technical, legal or professional responsibility away from the Buyer or independent Provider.
- Decide which legal, regulatory, engineering or technical requirement your product, asset or project must satisfy.
- Design or approve drawings, specifications, methods, procedures or acceptance criteria.
- Certify, approve, rank or endorse a Provider, product, report or manufacturing outcome.
- Guarantee Provider availability, capability, accreditation acceptance, quality, delivery, result or regulatory outcome.
- Take responsibility for the independent Provider's testing, manufacturing, inspection, calibration or other professional service.
- Replace legal, regulatory, engineering, certification or accredited-provider advice where that advice is required.
Already have a defined industrial technical requirement?
Start with an initial fit review. Decide on paid sourcing only if the request fits.
No Provider is contacted and no sourcing fee is incurred merely because you submit the intake form.
