Connect ProjeX
The marketplace that helps manufacturers find suppliers and win work. Advertise jobs directly to your own suppliers, to an open marketplace of thousands of manufacturing and trades businesses, or both at once — then manage quotes, RFIs and quality documents in one place.
Feast or famine — the manufacturer's curse
Every manufacturer knows the cycle. One month you're flat out, turning away work and stretching your team to breaking point. The next, the shop's quiet, machines are idle and you're chasing anything to keep everyone busy. Meanwhile the fabricator across town has the exact opposite problem at the exact same time.
Connect ProjeX fixes that. It helps manufacturers build stronger supplier networks, source overflow capacity and manage subcontractors — so your capacity always matches your workload. When you're slammed, pass work on to trusted partners. When you're quiet, pick up overflow from others.
It's more than a directory. It's a managed network that helps you find trusted partners, keep track of who does what, and take on bigger projects with the confidence that you've got the capacity behind you.
"The red tape used to do our head in. Now the jobs are clear, we know what we're walking into, and we don't chase approvals or play email ping pong. We've picked up solid work and it's just easier across the board."

Connect ProjeX FAQs
Isn't this just handing work to competitors?
It's the opposite of losing it. When you're full, passing work to a trusted partner keeps the customer with you instead of sending them off to find someone else who might keep them. And when you're quiet, that overflow flows back your way.
How do you make sure partners are reliable?
The network is built around trusted, vetted manufacturers rather than an open free-for-all. Building dependable relationships is the whole point.
What kind of businesses are on it?
Thousands of manufacturing and trades businesses across Australia and New Zealand — from fabricators and engineers to specialist trades — so you can find both the work and the suppliers you need.
What does it cost to join?
It's free to create an account. On the free supplier plan you only pay when you win a job, and can apply for up to three jobs a month. The paid supplier plan is A$99/month for unlimited applications. Advertising your own jobs is unlimited.
