Sourcing Guides
How do workshops source fabrication materials fast?
Procuring structural steel, plates, and welding rods for custom fabrication typically takes a long sequence of phone calls and manual quotes. Yaar uses an inquiry-first AI sourcing agent on WhatsApp to turn lists and drawings into B2B quotes from verified steel suppliers in ~13 minutes.
2. AI Spec Parsing
The AI parses steel grades, plate thicknesses, beam shapes, and welding consumable needs.
3. Direct Supplier Quotes
Specialized structural steel and industrial hardware suppliers provide comparable rates directly.
What are the common challenges when procuring fabrication material?
Fabrication jobs are highly size-specific. Getting a quote for 10 sheets of MS plates (4mm) and 5 channels (ISMC 100) requires contacting multiple distinct metal dealers. Standard directory listings lead to endless broker calls, inflated commissions, and delayed deliveries that pause shop operations.
Yaar is not a directory. We shield buyer privacy, route requirements to only matching metal suppliers, and enable direct buyer-supplier transactions with zero commissions.
Can I request custom fabrication sizing and processing?
Yes. Yaar’s AI extracts supplementary services like gas cutting, plasma cutting, shearing, or bending when mentioned in the original WhatsApp requirement.
This ensures suppliers quote not only for the raw materials but also for the processing services required, saving multiple back-and-forth phone calls.
