Getting accurate and timely quotes from contract manufacturers is a result of good preparation of materials. We will generate clear and detailed packages that you can take directly to a factory for bidding.

But our support to you does not have to end there; factory turnover is not the finish line but the start of the downstream development phase. If needed, we are happy to help you with…

1.

Should costing and negotiating tools

• Go into the bidding phase prepared with labor time estimates and material yield consumption. Avoid sticker shock and have the information at your fingertips for effective negotiations.

2.

Factory debug & DFM

• Even the best designs will encounter some level of adjustment at the manufacturing stage. Every factory is unique and has their own Design For Manufacture protocols and debug process. This can be confusing and frustrating if you’re not clear on what you’re agreeing to and why. Rely on our extensive manufacturing experience to help navigate this process.

3.

Quote validation and cost reductions

• Does the quote accurately reflect the specification? Was everything included? Is it transparent? Once the quote is validated against the spec, then we can determine if cost-saving changes are required and which will give the biggest impact on cost with the lowest impact on form & function.

4.

Consultation and support

• No matter what level of support you need, we are here to help you. If you just have a question or want to bounce a few ideas around, we are here to help you succeed.
