TNT Link
Finding fabrication capacity, and knowing which shops are worth your time.
We work on the buying side of custom metal fabrication - figuring out which shops can actually take a job, how fast they move, and who's worth sending drawings to.

What we look at
Most of the difficulty in sourcing fabrication isn't finding shops. It's finding out which ones will answer you, how booked they are, and whether the work is genuinely in their wheelhouse. That information isn't published anywhere, so we gather it directly.
Shop response benchmarks
We run response-time studies across the fabrication shops in a given metro - how quickly they reply to an inquiry, through which channel, and what lead times they're quoting. Shops that take part get their own results back alongside the anonymised distribution for their city, free.
If you run a shop and want your numbers, or want to be left out of it, email jason@tntlink.ca.
