You asked, we answered
What is critical component?
Critical component is the key component in your product Bill of Materials (BOM).
Normally, it’ll have significant impact on functionality and reliability of products such as battery, motor, PCB (print circuit board), display, plastic, metal, antenna, lens, etc.
I tend to find suppliers via Alibaba.com or Google, is that a problem?
Most of these suppliers are not vetted or verified, and we’ve seen many hardware startups failed due to wrong component supplier selection. Because wrong suppliers impact product functionality, reliability, delivery badly if you don’t deeply assess their capabilities.
How do you find the right suppliers with good quality and price?
We’re a handpicked team with rich experience from both OEM brand companies such Apple, Cisco, Motorola and Honeywell, and OEM companies such as Foxconn, Flex, and Jabil. Therefore, we form a broad supplier network and deep engagement experience with component suppliers of different sizes.
Normally, we source from our supplier database or new suppliers through network channel. Our professional sourcing process and procedures enable you to get good quality and price suppliers to work with.
My contract manufacturer can help me source critical components as well, how is your service different from theirs?
You’ll get your own, independent supply chain to increase supply chain security, so you won’t rely solely on your contract manufacturer.
In addition, you have stronger leverage power when negotiating with contract manufacturers.
Can I get direct access to the suppliers and communicate with them directly?
Absolutely. You’ll be introduced to verified suppliers and have direct, transparent access to suppliers after our engagement.
Do you only source suppliers from China?
No, our supplier database is worldwide: there aren’t any boundaries of region and nation. The ultimate goal is to find right suppliers that meet your needs.
