How Xometry is Powering the Buyer-Supplier Relationship

Xometry is increasingly recognised as leading provider of the critical resources manufacturers need to grow their businesses, streamlining the procurement process for buyers through real-time pricing and lead time data

Now, with the Workcenter Mobile App, the firm has expanded its suite of AI-powered procurement and production tools to mobile users across its manufacturing partner network.

With full access to job offers, task flows and operational performance metrics, the new app equips suppliers to manage key activities directly from the shop floor or field, helping them stay connected to jobs and customers from anywhere.

Workcenter, Xometry’s proprietary quote-to-cash system, launched in 2022 as part of its broader cloud platform. The mobile version now puts that system – already used across its supplier network – into the palm of users' hands, with tools that simplify order management, communication and data tracking in real time.

"Xometry’s Workcenter Mobile is changing the game for suppliers in our partner network, who no longer have to step away from the shop floor to keep their businesses moving," says Vaidy Raghavan, Chief Technology Officer at Xometry.

"The app makes the Workcenter platform more accessible and ensures partners can stay on top of high-value opportunities. By giving them seamless access to the information they need – without distractions – we help them run their businesses more efficiently and deliver fast, high-quality service to their customers."

Full quote-to-cash functionality for mobile

Xometry’s marketplace connects buyers to a global network of custom manufacturers, while also supporting suppliers through its digital tools and services.

The Workcenter platform plays a central role in helping partners streamline operations, manage quotes, monitor job performance and secure cash flow. Workcenter Mobile builds on that by offering full access from a smartphone, letting suppliers run key parts of their business on-the-go.

Mobile features include:

• Job and task management: Suppliers can track jobs, update task status and stay informed on project requirements without stepping away from production areas.

• Real-time notifications: Push alerts help users respond quickly to new jobs, order changes and messages.

• Integrated data capture: Photos, signatures and real-time updates can be uploaded directly through the app, improving accuracy and transparency.

• Direct support access: Partners remain connected to Xometry’s support teams even when they are not at their desks.

By removing the need for desktop access, Workcenter Mobile increases productivity across distributed teams and time-sensitive production environments. From approving jobs to updating task completion, users can move quickly while maintaining visibility across operations.

Brian Lahoud, President at Axion Labs and part of the Xometry partner network, adds: "The Job Board and Job Management pages are incredibly useful, and the Workcenter Mobile’s clean, fast UI makes it easy to stay on top of everything I need to manage."

Supporting procurement digitisation and supplier growth

Xometry’s platform combines its AI-powered marketplace, the Thomas industrial sourcing platform and a suite of cloud-based services.

Together, these tools are rapidly digitising the manufacturing sector by providing buyers with real-time pricing and lead time data, while giving suppliers access to critical resources for business growth.

The Workcenter Mobile App forms part of that cloud ecosystem, connecting directly to Xometry’s job board and Workcenter platform. Procurement professionals and manufacturers already using the desktop version now gain full access while in the field or on the move.

For buyers, the benefit is faster supplier response, better communication and improved delivery reliability. For suppliers, mobile access translates into quicker decisions, fewer delays and better use of time during busy production cycles.

As manufacturing teams continue to adopt mobile-first tools, platforms like Workcenter Mobile become core to daily operations. The app offers procurement and production teams an integrated solution that simplifies complex workflows without sacrificing control or quality.

Xometry’s approach reflects the broader move towards digital procurement, where speed, transparency and flexibility shape supplier relationships. By bringing its quote-to-cash functionality into a mobile format, Xometry reinforces its role in supporting both sides of the procurement equation, enabling buyers to source smarter and suppliers to operate faster.
