Outsourced hardware supply chain

Your engineers build robots. We chase the suppliers.

We source, vet, negotiate, QC, and ship the components you build with — actuators, drives, controllers, sensors, batteries, enclosures — from vetted suppliers across China, Germany, Taiwan, and Korea. No inventory of yours to hold, no factory to run. Just parts that arrive right, on time.

Built for teams that build hardware without a supply-chain department.

The problem

Sourcing hardware is a second full-time job your team never signed up for.

You raised money to build a product, not to manage fifteen supplier relationships across three continents. Every part is its own small war.

  • Fragmented
    Actuators from one vendor, drives from another, sensors from a third — nobody wants to manage all fifteen.
  • Opaque
    Alibaba quotes that never come, MOQs that don't fit a prototype run, prices you can't benchmark.
  • Risky
    Parts that arrive out of spec, late, or not at all — and you find out during assembly.
  • Slow
    Customs, lead times, and back-and-forth that quietly burn weeks off your roadmap.

How it works

One partner, from your BOM line to your loading dock.

01 / SOURCE

Find the right suppliers

You hand us a part or a BOM. We tap a vetted rolodex across China, Germany, Taiwan, and Korea and come back with real options — not a search-results page.

02 / VET

Qualify who can actually deliver

We screen for capability, quality history, and responsiveness, so you never bet a build on a supplier who ghosts you in week three.

03 / NEGOTIATE

Get the price and terms

We negotiate pricing, MOQs, and lead times — and hold multiple quotes against each other so you know the number is fair.

04 / QC

Check it before it ships

Inspection and spec verification at the source. Problems get caught at the factory, not on your assembly bench.

05 / SHIP

Handle logistics & customs

Freight, customs, and delivery, templated once and repeatable. Parts land where you need them, when you need them.

What we source

The hard-to-source half of your build.

Harmonic drives Frameless & servo motors Actuators Motor controllers / ESCs Force–torque sensors IMUs LiDAR & depth cameras Battery packs Precision enclosures Cabling & connectors Custom machined parts

Supplier network: China · Germany · Taiwan · South Korea. Need NDAA / EU-compliant, non-China sourcing? We lead with it.

Who it's for

Anyone who builds hardware without a procurement team.

Robotics startups
Strong in software, thin on hardware supply chain.
Manufacturers
Small teams without a dedicated sourcing function.
Prototyping & modeling shops
Low volumes that big distributors won't prioritize.
Project firms
One-off builds that need parts fast, then move on.
Defense & limited series
Compliant sourcing and short production runs.
Hardware R&D
Teams that would rather engineer than expedite.

Test us before you trust us

Give us your hardest BOM line item.

The part that's late, over budget, or failing QC. We'll come back within seven days with three vetted supplier quotes — pricing, lead times, and MOQs — so you can judge us on real work, not a sales call.
