Before Factorem: The Challenge

Inconsistent Part Quality, High Sourcing Costs, and Long Quoting Times

VMD, a precision engineering company in Singapore serving the automotive industry, faced inconsistent part quality, high sourcing costs, and long quoting times from multiple suppliers. Their manual sourcing process made it difficult to manage costs and delivery timelines for prototype and low-volume runs.

Factorem integrated its AI-powered platform into VMD’s procurement workflow to drive cost and process efficiency. Using its proprietary AI model, Factorem automatically identified the most competitive market rates from its vetted supplier network while ensuring high quality and reliability throughout production.

After Factorem: The Advantage

Stronger Cost Competitiveness and Greater Sourcing Efficiency

VMD reduced quoting time from 5 days to under 24 hours, achieved stronger cost competitiveness, and streamlined sourcing efficiency across teams. Engineers now focus on rapid design iterations instead of manual coordination.
