Supplier Management for Manufacturers & OEMs

Executive Summary

When supplier management is scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes, quality drifts, lead times expand, and costs creep up. Our SRM/SQM model brings strategy, operations, and data together: supplier onboarding and audits, RFQs with should-cost and TCO visibility, APQP/PPAP/FAI and CAPA discipline, ERP/EDI integration with SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics or Infor, and a Swiss logistics backbone that includes bonded warehousing (OZL), VAT deferment, T1/NCTS transit, and re-export options.

Problems We Fix

Typical pain points are slow quoting, unclear responsibility, reactive quality control, and poor traceability across multi-origin BOMs. We address them with one accountable flow: category strategy and dual-sourcing options (including China+1 and nearshoring), structured onboarding with KYC/AML and capability checks, comparable multi-quote packs with lane and Incoterms scenarios, and measured supplier performance against OTIF, PPM/DPPM, and responsiveness.

How Our Operating Model Works

We start by clarifying drawings, materials, tolerances, finishes, packaging, inspection plans, and compliance scope. AI then matches your parts to the right factory, machine, and price across 120+ verified partners in Switzerland, the EU, and Asia. Production runs under a Swiss QA gate; incoming goods can be sampled to AQL or inspected 100% on request with CMM, SPC/CPK, FAIR/FAI, and PPAP where required. Finished stock sits duty-paid or in bond; call-off to your plant is contractually guaranteed within five working days.

Quality and Compliance You Can Audit

Every delivery carries the documentation you expect: measurement reports, photos, certificates of conformity, batch and serial tracking, and full chain-of-custody. Regulatory themes are covered end-to-end—REACH/RoHS, conflict minerals, preferential origin and REX/EUR.1, HS classification and, when needed, BTI support. For regulated programs, we operate within AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 frameworks.

Data, Systems, and Traceability

Supplier data, RFQs, scorecards, SCAR and 8D corrective actions, and QBR outputs live in one place. Orders, ASNs, receipts, QC results, serials and lots move via EDI/API. Dashboards give live visibility into delivery performance, non-conformances, CAPA burn-down, inventory accuracy, and lead-time stability.

Logistics and Customs with a Swiss Advantage

Switzerland is our execution base for customs clearance, bonded warehousing, VAT deferment, transit documents, and re-export. Light handling—kitting, labeling, repacking—can be performed under customs control. Inventory strategies include consignment or VMI for critical SKUs, safety stock where volatility is high, and JIT/JIS replenishment for stable lines.

Commercials and Regions

Engagements are priced as projects or under framework and blanket orders with SLAs, KPIs, and price-review clauses. TCO is visible from the start: should-cost benchmarks, freight, duties and VAT, QA, storage, and packaging are mapped to your lanes and Incoterms. We sell and ship with consistent buy and cost logic across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Belgium, and Africa.

What You Can Run Through Us

Multi-process sourcing is standard: CNC machining and turning in aluminum 6061/7075, stainless 1.4301/1.4404, tool steels and copper alloys; sheet metal with laser, bending and welding; injection molding in ABS, PC, PA6/66, POM, PEEK and PTFE, plus die casting and extrusion; 3D printing via SLS, SLA, MJF and DMLS for prototypes and bridge builds; surface treatments from anodizing and hard-coat to zinc/nickel and passivation; electromechanical assemblies with line-ready packaging.

Results We Stand Behind

Expect faster time-to-quote, predictable lead times, lower cost-to-serve, tighter quality variance, and fewer expedites. We track OTIF, PPM/DPPM, NC closure time, inventory accuracy, forecast adherence, and supplier OTD—then use those numbers to drive continuous improvement.

Getting Started

Upload your drawings and BOM. We return AI-backed pricing and a supplier-management plan that includes risk, quality, and logistics. Production launches with Swiss QA and bonded or duty-paid availability, so you can call off what you need, when you need it.
