AI visibility and agentic operations for manufacturers

Make your business readable where buyers now search.

Forge Commerce makes manufacturers and product brands legible to AI answer engines and, next, to buyers' agents: structured specs, clean JSON-LD, discovery files, machine-readable policies, and answer-first pages. WooCommerce-native, Shopify supported, and the journeys, forms, prospecting, and Foundry OMS modules work with any website, storefront or not.

WooCommerce-first, with Shopify and other platforms supported. No ecommerce site? Journeys & Pulse, Valkyrie Assist, and Foundry OMS & MCP still work. No replatforming required; the free audit shows what AI can and cannot read about you today.

Integrations

Built around the commerce and marketing stack manufacturers already use.

WooCommerce and WordPress are the core of Forge Commerce today, with The Viking Stack and HighLevel handling operations and customer handoff. Shopify is a supported expansion path, Apollo.io powers AEO intelligence and prospecting as an add-on, and Claude powers the platform's in-app AI.

Your best product data is probably invisible to AI.

Most WooCommerce manufacturer sites were built for human browsing and traditional SEO. AI answer engines need unambiguous entities, visible specs, machine-readable policies, and one clean source of truth.

Specs trapped in PDFs

Datasheets, certifications, compatibility notes, and MPNs often sit outside the HTML that answer engines can easily cite.

Duplicate schema conflicts

WooCommerce, themes, SEO plugins, and schema plugins can emit overlapping graphs that weaken trust and validation.

Agents need clearer routes

Manufacturers need quote paths, lead times, MOQ rules, policies, and product context ready before agentic commerce matures.

What Forge Commerce installs around your WooCommerce catalog.

A focused control plane for the assets that make manufacturer catalogs understandable: not generic SEO reporting, and not an unsupported citation promise.

Connect

Pair the WordPress site through a companion plugin and discover the active theme, SEO stack, schema sources, cache, and product fields.

Structure

Map manufacturer data into enriched JSON-LD, including product specs, certifications, compatibility, policies, and FAQs.

Publish

Push approved artifacts live, resolve duplicate schema sources, purge cache, and verify rendered output.

Improve

Keep artifacts fresh as catalog data, answer behavior, and agentic storefront requirements change.

Early access

Foundry OMS & MCP: your customers' AI agents, ordering directly from your business.

Buyers are moving from browsers to agents. Your customers add one MCP endpoint, the Forge Foundry MCP, to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable agent, then sign in with their email. From there their agent can read your catalog, ask questions, submit RFQs and RFPs, and send sales orders and manufacturing orders that land in your Foundry OMS queue for review, no EDI platform to build, maintain, or pay for. Forge is the orchestration layer for how your customers interact with your business in this new agentic era.

One MCP endpointBuyers add the Forge Foundry MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable client, then sign in with their email.
RFQs, RFPs, and ordersStructured documents, not emails, with review gates you control.

EDI without the EDI platformReplaces custom pipes and platforms like SPS Commerce and TrueCommerce.

Built for the manufacturer buying journey.

Engineers and procurement teams do not search like retail buyers. They ask for parts by spec, material, standard, compatibility, lead time, and quote constraints.

MPN, GTIN, brand, spec tables, and certification fields for product JSON-LD.
Machine-readable warranty, return, lead-time, shipping, and MOQ policies.
Answer-first content pages with FAQ schema and visible supporting copy.
Agentic storefront readiness for future catalog, RFQ, quote, and product-feed workflows.
Every quote request stitched to the journey that produced it, scored, and delivered to your CRM without being silently lost.
