MAKE OR BUY? – DEFINITELY BUY!

YOU WANT TO GET AN ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURED?

And ask yourself, if you can build it at your own facilities, or if you shall outsource? “Make” results in lots of CapEx. “Buy” results in extensive dependencies from Tier 1 suppliers. Well, here is the new way to digitally manage your manufacturing chain: virtualfab!

SECURELY TRANSFER YOUR DATA

To start building your virtual factory, simply transfer your product data and bill of materials to virtualfab using secure file uploads. You will receive extensive support during setup phase and collaborating with your teammates is easier than ever!

Simply choose the best producer for your specific needs and seemlessly integrate all of them into your digitalized supply chain. This is the starting point for your professional RFx-sourcing process!
