Opening Your Digital Manufacturing Shop
Think of the Partner Dashboard as your digital workshop. You need a sign (Branding), a menu of services (Catalog), and a cash register (Bank Details) before customers can walk in.
Partner Onboarding Workflow
Step 1: The Command Centre
Your profile is what engineers and makers see first. Configure your facility details, including your business registration (GSTIN), and set up your unique shop identity.
- KYC: Complete your identity verification to enable payments.
- Facility Branding: Add logos and workshop photos to build trust.
- Custom Slug: Claim your URL (e.g., yantrabhavan.com/shop/your-name).
Step 2: Onboard Your Equipment
List every machine in your facility. From desktop printers to professional CNC mills, each unit adds to your capacity. Enter machine-specific data like purchase price, power wattage, and precision limits. Our system uses these to calculate your blended hourly rates automatically.
Step 3: Define Material Recipes
Create a menu of materials you stock. Set your internal cost per gram, density, and waste allowances.
Step 4: The Rate Card Bridge
A Rate Card is the final piece. It bridges one Machine with one Material to create a searchable listing. When a customer uploads a design, our engine finds your active profiles and provides an instant quote based on your specific facility math.
