Sourcing outcomes

Send it once. OMN finds who can run it.

Shop profiles carry structured capability data — process, material, certification, geography. That’s what your request is matched against, and what you can search yourself.

RFQ routing

Your job reaches shops that can actually quote it.

OMN reviews each request and routes it against recorded shop capabilities — not a blast list. The responses you field come from shops equipped for the work.

ProcessMaterialCertificationGeography
Directory search

Shortlist shops yourself, before you commit.

Browse 2,255 Ontario shops by process, material, certification, and region, then open a profile to assess fit.

Direct contracting

Quote to contract, directly with the shop.

OMN makes the introduction and steps back. No markup, no per-job fee — pricing stays between you and the shop.

How it works

From job spec to comparable quotes.

No account needed to start. Describe the work once and OMN handles who sees it.

Contact support
Does it cost anything to source through OMN?
No. Shops pay for membership; using OMN is free for buyers. There is no commission and no markup — the price you're quoted comes straight from the shop.
Do I need an account to submit an RFQ?
No. The public RFQ form works without one. A free account adds CAD file uploads, dashboard tracking, and on-platform messaging with responding shops.
Which shops see my request?
OMN reviews each RFQ and routes it using the process, material, certification, and location requirements you specify, matched against recorded shop capabilities. It is designed to reach relevant shops, not every shop in the directory.
How do I choose a shop?
Quotes arrive on OMN, where you can compare them and message each shop. Accept the response that fits and the RFQ closes for the others — then you contract with the shop directly.
