What Reframe does
Reframe is an AI-native hardware procurement marketplace that lets hardware teams source both off-the-shelf and custom manufactured components. It uses AI agents to automate end-to-end procurement so engineering teams can scale while staying lean, reducing the manual work of sourcing parts and coordinating with vendors.
Key capabilities
Reframe coordinates with vendors to automatically order components, resolve delays and component shortages, and keep parts arriving on time. It connects buyers to a network of suppliers, including manufacturers that have produced parts for consumer hardware products. The platform offers a native Slack integration whose assistant can answer questions about parts directly, so teams do not have to dig through spreadsheets and email threads to track procurement status.
Who it's for
Reframe is aimed at hardware and engineering teams that regularly procure off-the-shelf and custom components and want to automate vendor coordination, ordering, and issue resolution. It positions itself as an AI-driven alternative to manual procurement workflows and legacy procurement tooling.
