More on EMS2.0
Digital transformation is at the core of EMS2.0. MaaS platforms combine a digital-first intuitive user interface with an intelligent technology that matches supply and demand through a network of pre-certified factories in US, Canada and Mexico.
Procurement professionals love the simplicity of uploading CAD and BOM data to get an almost instant price, as well as the ability to see prices change dynamically as they adjust delivery time and volume with on-screen sliders. Purchasing managers can upload RFQ packages and get quotes in a few days rather than weeks. Itemized and transparent reporting means you make better informed decisions faster.
Engineers and innovators love MacroFab’s DFM on-the-fly providing design and specification feedback, while intelligent algorithms and experienced manufacturing engineers ensure all the data is ready for the quickest and simplest new product introduction once the perfectly aligned factory is selected.
Manufacturers love the easy way they can chose just how much business they take to balance their utilization, all with the lowest cost of sales, ensuring everyone gets the best value. Intelligent supply and demand matching ensure that factories only receive work that is squarely in their sweet-spot.
