Sourcing Guides

How to source bearings & MRO items fast?

When a machine breaks down, waiting hours to call bearing dealers for stock and prices stalls your operations. Yaar provides an inquiry-first sourcing agent on WhatsApp to find verified bearing suppliers and MRO parts with quotes in ~13 minutes.

1. Snap & Send

Take a photo of the worn bearing, part number, or handwritten list and WhatsApp it.

2. AI Spec Cataloging

The AI matches part numbers (e.g. 6309 C3) with standard dimensions and clearances.

3. Direct Quotes

Get clear rates from suppliers who have SKF, FAG, or NTN stock ready to pick up or ship.

Why are standard online directories inefficient for bearing suppliers?

Listing directories are cluttered with inactive dealers or generic suppliers. Searching "SKF 6204" on standard directories forces you to sift through endless search pages, submit forms, and then field spam calls from brokers who don't actually have the stock or authorized dealership certificates.

Yaar is not a directory. We maintain a private supplier graph of verified authorized distributors. Your phone number is never shared, avoiding unwanted B2B broker spam.

What is MRO sourcing automation with Yaar?

MRO (Maintenance, Repair, & Operations) purchases are typically high-mix, low-volume. Purchase teams waste hours looking for multiple different items (bearings, V-belts, lubricants, safety gear).

Yaar automates this process by reading the entire list at once, separating the items, and routing them to specialized suppliers. You get a single, consolidated comparison sheet.
