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.
Step 5: Grow Your Shop
Once you're live, boost your visibility using our targeted Advertising System. You can bid on keywords like "Metal Printing" or "CNC Milling" to appear at the top of search results.
