About Calloy

The platform for American job shops and their buyers.

A custom part needs a price, a shop that can make it and a way to run the job. Calloy holds the Instant Quote, Worksource, the Work Dashboard and the Marketplace in one account.

How it fits together

One request, both sides of the job.

RFQ categories: custom parts, CNC machining, laser cutting, sheet metal, waterjet, welding/fab, 3D printing and finishing.

Buying a part

  1. Upload a STEP, STL or IGES file and get Calloy's estimate.

  2. Sign up. Calloy fills in your RFQ, and you edit it before posting.

  3. Shops bid a price and lead time, or take the job at your budget.

  4. Compare bids side by side. Choose one, and the other bids are declined automatically.

  5. Follow the order on your Orders page through In progress and Completed.

Running a shop

  1. Choose Business when you sign up. The Work Dashboard comes with it.

  2. Worksource scores RFQs 0–100 on process, material, lead time and quantity.

  3. Bid, accept at the buyer's budget, make an offer or set standing bids.

  4. For your own customers, price parts on your shop rates and send a quote with your logo.

  5. Track the work on the Production board and overdue invoices in Finances.

On both sides

Marketplace. List surplus material and machines. Search 5 to 100 miles out or on a map.

Cal-L. A photo scan finds matching listings. On Calloy Pro, a scan can become an RFQ.

Money, files and certifications

What Calloy does, and what it doesn't.

Money

  • Marketplace buyers pay through Stripe checkout, and sellers are paid into their own Stripe account.
  • Buyers pay no Calloy fee. Sellers pay 9.9% of the item price when it sells, 7.9% on Calloy Pro.
  • Worksource work isn't paid through Calloy, and Calloy takes no fee on it.

Estimates and bids

  • Calloy's estimate comes from the part's spec and its file's geometry.
  • It isn't a shop's quote. The shops that bid set the final price and lead time.
  • Economy, Standard and Express are price tiers, not delivery dates.

Certifications

  • Each shop lists its own certifications.
  • Calloy does not check certificates.
  • Match scores don't compare certifications yet.
  • Compliance keeps your QMS records. Calloy certifies no one.

Your customers

  • Quotes, invoices and customer pages live in your Work Dashboard.
  • Customers pay your invoices outside Calloy. You record the payment.
  • Outside-work POs never print your customer, costs or margin.

Files and AI

  • For Calloy's estimate, CAD files are read in your browser.
  • Photo scans need a shop whose owner or admin has turned on Settings → AI and your files. Every send is logged.
  • Your jobs, quotes and settings are kept on your Calloy account. The browser holds only sign-in cookies.

The beta

  • The Work Dashboard is free during the beta, no credit card.
  • The Work Dashboard comes with a Business account. Choose Business when you sign up. A personal account can switch to Business later.
  • The seller fee and Calloy Pro apply today, at the rates on Pricing.
