About Zartman.io

Better outcomes start with the right shop for the job.

Zartman.io exists because most quoting still pinballs between inboxes, spreadsheets, and endless status calls. We built one calm workspace where buyers can upload parts, route to a trusted bench of small shops, and keep every DFM note, bid, and award decision in the same view.

The goal isn't another blast marketplace. It's a community that pairs trusted shops with the right kind of work based on who actually has capacity, keeps conversations private, and steps in when projects get complicated so everyone can keep moving.

The people behind it

Built by people who have lived inside quoting desks and shop floors

We'll keep adding more of the crew here. For now, you're mostly talking to Jackson.

Founder, Zartman.io

Jackson Zartman

Jackson has spent the past decade running quoting desks, partnering with machine shops across the U.S., and helping small manufacturers keep complex builds on track. He knows the back-and-forth between buyers and shops because he’s lived it from both sides. Zartman.io exists to give that quoting scramble a calmer home — one that keeps the human judgement and shop relationships that lead to better outcomes.

How we work with buyers

A calm workspace for uploads, bids, and awards

We help you keep search requests private, hold shops accountable, and make confident award decisions.

  • Private search requests routed to a curated bench of trusted small shops
  • Hands-on help with DFM reviews and award decisions when things get complicated
  • No obligation to award — move forward only when price, lead time, and shop fit all line up

How we work with suppliers

A community that sends the right work to the right shops

Shops get capacity-matched requests, space to ask questions, and honest feedback on outcomes.

  • Search requests matched to your machines and current capacity — not random blast lists
  • Room to ask clarification questions before quoting, like you would with a long-term customer
  • Clear visibility into awards and feedback so you always know where you stand

Looking ahead

Where this is going

We're building tools that make capacity-aware matching sharper and quoting less manual, without taking humans out of the loop. The roadmap comes from what buyers and shops in our community ask for every week.

  • Sharper matching between what buyers need, what the parts require, and which shops have capacity
  • Less manual work around intake, quote reminders, and follow-ups
  • Humans stay in the loop for tricky DFM calls and the relationships that drive better outcomes
