Helping to overcome challenges in the Electronics industry
Supply chains will not easily get more complex and volatile compared to what you typically see in the electronics industry. The fast pace of innovation and continued increase in global demand for electronic products heavily collide with the unstable availability of raw materials and certain components, the growing attention for sustainability and the war for talent. Outsourcing partners often bring solace but add end-to-end planning complexity.
Relocated production
As much as 40% of all electronics OEMs have relocated some manufacturing to other global locations, caused by inflation, labor cost increase in China, shipping costs, and altering trade tariffs on semiconductors and other electronic assemblies and parts. This has led to electronics component supply shortages, but it also has redrawn the electronics industry landscape and changed the dynamics of global competition. Consequently, OEM's had to increase prices but try to remain highly competitive by making their production and supply chain processes as efficient as possible. This is where our modern technology can help.
CEM growth
The global market of contract manufacturing in electronics will continue to grow annually by 10 to 15% in the coming 3 to 5 years. For already a long time, it has been a proven model for success in the industry to increase efficiencies and have a more cost-effective manufacturing process, but it also allows companies to focus on R&D and innovation, and cope with the war for talent. With many new upcoming innovations like AI, organic, miniaturized and printed electronics, IoT, etc., the pace of change in products and consequently in supply and production partners will remain a given. A digital supply chain will allow you to absorb change much better.
Greener PCBAs
Emerging technologies are driving a significant change in the bill of material of electronics products, but also the increase in regulatory compliance and environmental standards is pushing manufacturing costs upwards and adding complexity to global supply chains. Non-compliance against programs like REACH, WEEE, RoHS, RED, CE, and many more can result in serious fines and expensive product recalls. Also, energy reduction and less waste disposal are a few examples of how the industry aims to reach ambitious ESG goals. Multi-enterprise collaboration networks help to get new partnerships going rapidly, improving time-to-market.

Whether you seek to enhance collaboration in procurement, forecasts, inventory, manufacturing, logistics, maintenance & quality, or invoicing, we offer a cost-effective and modular solution for your digital transformation project of preference.
We can deal with the complexities of integrating your and your partners IT-systems to a collaborative solution. This means, with the Quyntess SCM apps, you can automate business processes from your backend systems to a global ecosystem of trading partners efficiently. The best part is, you will experience tangible savings and benefits within a matter of weeks, not years.
Supplier and production partner onboarding
With the high pace of change in how electronics supply chains evolve, welcoming new partners to a digital and collaborative environment is not only highly professional but also shortens the time of getting up to speed with them over different processes. Especially when they might already use the offered platform in collaboration with other buyers. This means, that web-based collaboration can be activated in a matter of minutes to get going quickly and if transaction volumes allow, the automation level can be further increased soon to further improve the efficiencies at your partner side.
Triangular collaboration and joint visibility
In cases where supply chain complexity exceeds the level of bi-directional buyer-supplier collaboration, the value of the collaboration network only gets larger. We can support triangular document and data exchange between a buyer, supplier, and intermediary partners like Contract Electronic Manufacturing companies. Common and real-time visibility on transaction statuses, shipments, inventories, and partner performance provides an unequaled 'control tower' effect that helps everybody in the chain to get more smoothly through the process, including exceptions.
Measuring supply chain performance
Since next to cost, supply chain lead times in the electronics industry have seen negative trends in the past years, companies are looking for ways to improve end-to-end performance in order to remain competitive. The interesting side-effect of having all your partners digitally connected and the shared 'control tower' environment is keeping track of all events and statuses, it is amazing how much granular data you collect, and how it allows you to learn where structural delays and lead-time risks are hidden. Putting single-version-of-truth dashboards in the middle for partners to self-assess their performance and compliance also triggers more introspection and corrective behavior.
More flexibly changing logistics partners
The relocation context in the global electronics industry clearly has an impact on partner choices, also when it comes to logistics. Changes in your physical supply chain will most likely also influence how you organize the next tender for warehousing and transportation services. Our platform and apps can help you to onboard logistics services providers in a much faster and more standardized way, allowing you to change partners more flexibly in the future. No longer do you need to conform to their integration practices, processes and tooling, since our platform provides LSP-agnostic ways to integrate and collaborate in one common way, allowing you to standardize how you transact and measure performance.

Order Collaboration
The Order Collaboration App optimizes collaboration on classical purchase orders and complements or provides an alternative to EDI integration in case order and order line volumes are lower but do require close alignment on data changes. For contract-based procurement, this is also where you share the contracts with suppliers that drive the delivery schedules. They are used to update prices, add contract lines for new periods, and monitor overall quantities and price breaks.
Forecast Collaboration
With the Forecast Collaboration app, we support your contract-based procurement scenarios. Delivery Schedules are shared with suppliers in a way that it is easy to work with them because we proactively point out relevant changes. In addition to pushing out direct demand and forecast overviews, you can also decide to work with a feedback loop from the supplier in order to anticipate material shortages and delayed deliveries, leading to less impact on production planning and delivery performance.
Inventory Collaboration
This app is designed to improve forward visibility on projected inventory balances bringing together all relevant elements such as forecasts, announced dispatches, inventory by location, and production schedules. It proactively alerts on shortages, especially if milestones from external sources are not reported for completion. They safeguard from production schedule disruptions and if used smartly can drive safety stocks down by suppliers’ actual performance and deviations in the calculation.
Supply Chain Management Dashboard
The Supply Chain Management Dashboard is designed to better track and control collaboration with various suppliers and turn supply chain data into actionable insights. The app offers different screens and parameters that make it possible to get a single version of the truth about the performance of individual and/or all suppliers and other partners, creating a unique passage to your KPI metrics.
Co-Manufacturing Collaboration
Co-Manufacturing Collaboration is an innovative and user-friendly app designed to streamline and enhance collaboration with third-party manufacturers. With a focus on finished goods manufacturing or repacking orders, label printing, and raw material management, our app empowers you to seamlessly manage your contract manufacturing processes while maintaining transparency and efficiency.
