# Overview for Manufacturer Partners
> A quick map of everything the platform gives you — and how it fits together.
Acelab connects manufacturers with the architects and specifiers who are actively researching building products. This article gives you a high-level overview of what the platform offers so you know where to start and where to go next.

### What Acelab Does for Manufacturers
Architects use Acelab to search for products, build specifications, and manage material decisions across their projects. When they engage with your brand — browsing your products, requesting information, or saving items to a project — that activity flows into your manufacturer account as a lead you can act on.
Think of Acelab as a combination of a digital showroom and a sales pipeline: architects discover you, and your team captures and manages that interest in one place.
