💡What is the choice for project-tailored demands?
Go direct with tier-1 won't make you a solution! You need the required specifications and a cost on your budget. You need to win the project first and also need to win future projects, it's saves you more on the solutions than on materials like screws. Tier-1's nature is that they're like part of screws, you need to agree on the length and diameter of the screw and the cost of theirs, not vice versa. We help you directly to the pain points, our simplified solutions help you save more on the big rather than stingy on the product and material cost on the small.
