What does Drag Drop Source do?

Qimtek connects buyers with a vetted network of UK manufacturing suppliers. Upload your drawing, receive instant pricing, and suppliers can accept the job directly.

 

Is it free for buyers to get quotes?

Yes using Drag Drop Source to upload drawings and receive instant pricing is completely free. Our service is funded by our supplier network who are looking for new clients. You only pay the supplier you choose to work with.

 

Can I deal directly with the supplier?

Can I run a project with Non Disclosure Agreement?

Yes. Drag Drop Source routinely works under NDAs for sensitive or proprietary parts. Once an NDA is in place, only approved, contractually bound suppliers can access your drawings. You have two options for submitting an NDA:

  • Option 1 - Upload Your Own NDA
  • Option 2 - Use DDS/Qimtek’s Electronic NDA
