Now Recruiting Founding Fabricators

The Compressed Marketplace for ASME Pressure Vessel RFQs

A curated network of 40 fabricators. 3-4 bidders per job instead of 15. Geographic exclusivity. No race to the bottom.

The Front-End Process Is Broken

Buying an ASME pressure vessel takes longer and costs more than it should—creating bottlenecks before fabrication even starts.

6-8 Weeks Engineering Lead Time

Buyers hire consulting engineers to design vessels. That's 6-8 weeks before an RFQ can even be released.

Engineering That Gets Discarded

Under ASME Appendix 47, the stamp holder owns design responsibility. Fabricators redo the calculations anyway.

Incomplete RFQ Packages

Specs arrive with missing data. Fabricators spend hours chasing clarifications before they can even start quoting.

Race to the Bottom

RFQs go to 10, 15, even 20 shops. Win rates plummet. Estimating hours get burned on quotes that never close.

VesselRFQ Changes Everything

A guided workflow that lets buyers define vessel parameters in minutes—not months—with complete, structured data that fabricators can use immediately.

vs. 6-8 weeks traditional
1

Guided Design Workflow

Buyer's engineer enters vessel parameters through an intelligent wizard—diameter, length, pressure, temperature, materials, heads, nozzles.

Complete RFQ Package Generated

Platform creates a structured specification with all parameters fabricators need to run their Code calculations.

3

Direct to Qualified Fabricators

One-click release to geographically-appropriate ASME shops. No emails, no chasing, no missing attachments.
