Before MFG
For a long time, the team leaned on local suppliers, which worked well but sometimes limited their ability to tap into new capabilities or innovations. As their outsourcing needs grew, Mike knew they needed a more efficient and flexible way to source parts, especially to reduce lead times and improve delivery reliability without sacrificing performance.
The Solution: MFG’s Platform
MFG’s platform gave ProMach access to a wider network of suppliers, improving their ability to find manufacturers who could deliver on both cost and lead-time requirements. With the ability to compare multiple quotes, they quickly identified suppliers that met their needs for cost, delivery, and performance.
Why They Needed to Switch to MFG
- Access to better capabilities: By reaching out to a larger network, ProMach found manufacturers with capabilities that better fit their evolving needs.
- Reduced lead times: MFG helped improve their supply chain by finding suppliers who met their delivery expectations, reducing lead times and increasing efficiency.
- Improved performance and delivery: In addition to cost, ProMach was able to prioritize delivery timelines and find manufacturers that consistently met their performance and delivery standards.
