From electric vehicles to smart meters, 1BUY.AI serves procurement and supply chain teams in the industries where component cost and continuity decide the business outcome — OEMs running multi-tier chains, and EMS companies running someone else’s.
Original equipment manufacturers managing complex multi-tier supply chains, where the BOM number is reviewed line by line and every price has to be defensible.
Electronics manufacturing services companies quoting for multiple OEM customers, where speed of response and margin protection are the same problem.
High BOM-sensitivity sectors — the ones where component cost and supply risk show up directly in gross margin and delivery.
Electrification multiplied the BOM, the semiconductor exposure and the supplier count at once — while tariffs and allocation kept moving underneath.
6× component loadHigh BOM sensitivity with strict compliance obligations. Cost optimisation without compromising certification or quality.
Compliance-criticalTen-year platforms demand proactive obsolescence management. A part that goes EOL mid-platform is a requalification programme.
Obsolescence-ledFast-moving markets need agile sourcing. Cut cycle time and capture savings in categories where margin is thin.
Speed-ledScale used to decide who saw the real market. A billion-dollar buyer got alternate sourcing, price transparency and supplier reach; everyone else got a quote and a relationship. Independent intelligence removes the asymmetry.
One benchmark across divisions, sites and programmes — so two plants stop paying different prices for the same MPN.
Enterprise-grade intelligence without an enterprise budget or an integration programme to get there.
The data that was previously only available to the largest buyers — and the confidence to quote against it.
The conversations that start a pilot — in the words of the people who run procurement.
We’re flying blind — no data to audit procurement. We can’t verify if we’re sourcing at the right price or overpaying.
CEO · Tier-1 automotive supplierEven billion-dollar teams don’t have real-time visibility. Component pricing, new introductions, tariffs — it’s all dynamic and stressful.
Sourcing Lead · Global technology manufacturerWe’re losing capital to dead stock. Quarterly piles of excess components with no transparent channel to clear them.
COO · Leading listed EMSWhether you’re a billion-dollar OEM or an emerging EMS player, it starts the same way — one BOM, your own parts: findings in two weeks, a decision by week four.
