Why MAKTRO

Engineering teams lose weeks to procurement. A spectrum analyzer on backorder. A GPU quote that expires. A software license stuck in a vendor portal.

MAKTRO takes the whole list. We find stock through authorized channels, compare lead times, and put everything on one purchase order.

One US team in Texas handles the calls, the paperwork and the tracking, so your engineers can get back to building.

Four channels.
One supplier.

Each category runs on its own channel, like the inputs on a scope. You see all four on one quote and one invoice.

Brands we quote.

A sample of the manufacturers and publishers we buy from across all four channels. If it has a part number, we can usually find it.

Trademarks belong to their owners. A listed brand is one we can quote, not a claim of partnership or authorization.

One PO instead of seven.

Example: equipping a new test bench with 12 line items from seven different manufacturers.

45things to manage

Seven vendors means seven quotes, seven POs and a pile of invoices from split shipments.
