18,391 US machine shops · 9 freight modes · one order
ForgeMoves prices your part across America's independent machine shops and every freight mode, then routes it to the shop that lands it best. You get one landed price, one delivery date and one timeline, from raw stock to your dock.
01 · Landed quote
ForgeMoves chooses the shop and the freight mode together. The cheapest machine shop is often not the cheapest delivered part.
Your card is held, not charged. You pay the final price only after a US shop confirms the job, usually within one business day.
02 · How it works
Drop in a STEP file, choose the material and the dock. Saved templates handle repeat parts in one click.
Every option shows landed cost, delivery date and reliability, scored together across shops and 9 freight modes.
It confirms machine slots, collects CMM reports and BOLs, books the pickup and resolves exceptions. One timeline, no phone calls.
Set limits like "any shop rated 90+, any mode under a 12% premium" and ForgeMoves auto-books every reorder that fits.
03 · The moat
A manufacturing marketplace can't move freight, and a freight broker can't make parts. ForgeMoves prices both together, and every delivered order trains both models. Click each stage.
Network effects, simulated
Every order joins what a part cost to make to what it cost to move on that lane. Xometry prices parts and C.H. Robinson prices freight; neither sees both, and the two datasets are only valuable together.
Each new shop adds origin points to the lane network, and each new carrier makes distant shops viable. Every node makes the other side more useful.
Shippers run auto-rules, documents and the exceptions agent in ForgeMoves today. Next, ForgeMoves Floor (in development) gives shops scheduling and QC. Once both docks run on ForgeMoves, leaving means re-platforming production and logistics together.
Inspection results, machine on-time and carrier on-time sit on one record per order. Defense buyers need CMMC-ready suppliers from November 2026, and the record only exists inside ForgeMoves.
04 · Pricing
ForgeMoves is the merchant of record: you pay one delivered price, and shops and carriers get paid by ForgeMoves. No platform fees on top, no surprise freight invoice later.
