mfr.ID is a digital platform designed to validate and integrate small to mid-sized manufacturers, providing them with a trusted digital identity and greater visibility to potential industrial buyers.

By leveraging AI and blockchain technology, mfr.ID automates the manufacturer validation process, meeting the necessary requirements for seamless integration with third-party platforms that increase buyer exposure and streamline operations.

Additionally, mfr.ID offers a standalone microsite featuring the manufacturer's validated information. This microsite can serve as the manufacturer's primary website or complement their existing one.

AI and blockchain are at the core of mfr.ID, serving two pivotal roles:

AI (Artificial Intelligence): AI is leveraged to automate and enhance the validation process for manufacturers. It uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze data, ensuring the information provided by manufacturers is accurate and current.

Blockchain: Blockchain technology is employed to ensure the integrity and security of the data on mfr.ID. It creates an immutable ledger of manufacturer validations, certifications, and transactions. This not only helps in maintaining a transparent record that can be trusted by both manufacturers and buyers but also protects against data tampering and fraudulent activities.

Together, these technologies ensure that mfr.ID can provide a secure, reliable, and efficient service for manufacturers and buyers alike, fostering trust and simplifying the process of due diligence in the manufacturing industry.

We're currently focused on machine shops and plastic manufacturers. However, we encourage all types of custom and product manufacturers to request early access. Doing so will help us cover a broader set of use cases earlier in the platform development process.

If you're not a manufacturer, but your company specializes in bringing value to small to mid-sized manufacturers, we want to hear from you as well. Our excitement will be even greater if our API services can add value to your operations.

Once validated and onboarded, mfr.ID boosts your shop’s exposure by providing a dedicated microsite optimized with best-in-class SEO to enhance your online presence.

Furthermore, we integrate your validated information with leading marketplace platforms, ensuring that your shop gains maximum visibility among industrial buyers and government procurement officials.

Currently, mfr.ID is in its alpha phase, which means we are actively designing and building our platform, validating our features, seeking input from users like you, and forging strategic partnerships to enhance the value provided to manufacturers.

We are aiming to go live with a self-serve beta phase in Q2 of 2024. If you're interested in shaping the future of manufacturing digitalization and want to be part of this collaborative journey, we encourage you to request early access and join our alpha group as a manufacturer, integration partner or industrial buyer.

You can also contact us to learn more about other partnership opportunities or simply to provide feedback that could help steer our development process.

mfr.ID is free during our alpha phase. Post-launch, our core authentication service, APIs, and microsite will continue to be free for manufacturers. Our goal is to remove barriers to digital representation and market access for small to mid-sized manufacturers.

Future premium features will carry a fee, particularly for advanced AI-based features and branded microsite customization.
