The system is a strategic sourcing arena that connects buyers (Engineers, and sourcing professionals) and service providers (Contractors/freelancers of CAD, CAM and CAE services) to our marketplace based on their unique capabilities and technologies. The system securely coordinates, collaborates and manages the complete Request for Proposal (RFP) process, as well as tapping into critical services like project management and engineering support on demand. The CADlance sourcing solutions guarantee significant productivity savings and quantifiable cost reductions.

The CADlance system enables the entire sourcing process to be carried out online and includes everything you need to submit/respond to RFP’s (Requests for Proposal), service provider discovery, reputation assessment, quote comparison/evaluation, buyer and service provider ratings, Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA), product auctions, escrow manager, private message board (PMB), project management and collaboration tools.

CADlance is the only place where you can search and post projects for qualified engineers worldwide.
