From BOM to better decisions in five steps.
No rip-and-replace. No implementation programme. Start with 10–30 parts, prove the value on your own components, then scale. You see clear ROI before you commit to anything.
- 01
Connect
Connect your ERP or simply upload your Bill of Materials. We ingest and normalise your component data — no schema work, no clean-up project.
What happens- Upload in any standard format — Excel or CSV
- Or connect directly to your ERP over API
- Every line normalised and resolved to a real MPN
- No IT overhead — analysing within minutes
OutcomeYour BOM is normalised, validated and ready for analysisConnectIngest layer500+data sources,

Detect
AI analyses pricing gaps and risk across the entire BOM. Savings opportunities surface automatically, ranked by what they are actually worth.
What happens- Every line scored against independent market data
- Price gaps quantified against market benchmarks
- Qualified form-fit-function alternates discovered
- Lifecycle, EOL, compliance and supplier risk flagged
OutcomeClear visibility into savings opportunities and risk, ranked by valueDetectIllustrative · sample BOM38flags on a

Decide
Armed with decision-grade intelligence, choose to renegotiate with your incumbent, re-source, redesign or hold. With a number behind each option.
What happens- Prioritised recommendations, ordered by impact
- Run what-if scenarios before you commit
- Renegotiate with a defensible target price
- Or re-source, redesign, or hold — with the cost of each

Execute
For high-impact components, execute sourcing through 1Source with vetted global suppliers and transparent landed-cost comparison.
What happens- RFQs to a vetted network across seven regions
- Landed cost compared, not just unit price
- Structured workflows for faster cycles
- You stay in control — we execute where it matters
OutcomeOptimised sourcing at a price you can defend, relationship intact - 05
Recover
Turn excess and EOL inventory into cash through 1Xcess, with approved global buyers and competitive bidding.
What happens- List excess, EOL and last-time-buy overage
- Approved buyers with worldwide reach
- Competitive bidding sets the price, not a broker
- Escrow and QA on every transaction
OutcomeDead stock converted into working capital on the balance sheet
What a pilot actually looks like
We don’t ask for commitment upfront. Findings in two weeks, a decision by week four — on a sample of your BOM, with a number you can take to your CFO.
Data onboarding
Send a sample BOM — 10 to 30 parts is enough. Under NDA, isolated from every other customer.
Analysis
Our team benchmarks it against independent market data and builds the savings and risk report.
Review
We walk the findings through with your team, line by line, with the inputs shown.
Scale or stop
Scale up on proven ROI — or don’t. No auto-conversion, no obligation either way.
Aggregate across pilots run to date — not a single-customer figure.
Identified in the proof of concept, realised in execution.
From BOM received to findings report in your hands.
◇Every pilot runs under NDA on isolated data. Your BOM is never pooled with a competitor’s and never shared with a supplier.
Ready to see it on your own parts?
Send a BOM. Findings in two weeks, a decision by week four, with the working shown — and if the number isn’t worth acting on, we’d rather you knew that in two weeks than three quarters.
