    Electronic component sourcing & factory qualification

    Your BOM is a risk register. We manage it.

    One unavailable component can stop an entire production run. We review BOM risk, source across regions, qualify suppliers and factories, and build alternatives before shortages force expensive decisions.

    Shenzhen sourcing. Delft engineering oversight.

    Supplier quotes look different when someone can verify what's happening on the ground. Joe Lin, our Shenzhen-based quality engineer, can visit suppliers and factories in person, while the Delft team reviews the engineering, cost, and production implications behind the sourcing decisions.

    We flag long-lead, single-source, and high-cost parts early. Where an alternative makes sense, we look beyond price and availability to the changes it may introduce to the PCB, firmware, certification, or validation work.

    The goal is not to find the cheapest BOM but to build one you can still buy and manufacture when conditions change.

    Multi-region sourcing

    Source across Asia and Europe, with backup options identified for critical parts where technically and commercially practical.

    Supplier & factory qualification

    Check capability, quality systems, capacity, and production fit before committing to a supplier or manufacturing partner.

    BOM risk & cost review

    Find the parts driving cost, lead time, or single-source risk, then focus negotiation or engineering effort where it will actually change product economics.

    Alternative component strategy

    Identify candidate alternates before a shortage becomes urgent, then review the engineering impact before they enter the production BOM.

    From BOM review to production-ready sourcing

    01

    Send the BOM and production requirements

    We start with the BOM, expected volumes, target timing, and any suppliers or parts that are already fixed.

    02

    Find the risk

    We review the parts that create the biggest exposure through cost, lead time, availability, or single-source dependence.

    03

    Source and compare

    We look across suppliers and regions, comparing price, MOQ, lead time, and sourcing risk rather than choosing on unit price alone.

    04

    Review alternatives

    Where a second source or substitute makes sense, we check what would change technically before recommending it for the production BOM.

    05

    Qualify the route to production

    When factory sourcing is in scope, our Shenzhen engineer can inspect potential manufacturing partners before you commit to production.

    An engineer on the ground in Shenzhen

    Joe Lin, our Shenzhen-based quality engineer, can visit suppliers and factories, check claims against what is actually on the floor, and follow issues that are difficult to resolve through email alone. The Delft team stays connected to the engineering behind the product, so local sourcing does not become another disconnected hand-off.

    Sourcing questions

    Can you work with an existing BOM?

    Yes. We can review an existing BOM for sourcing risk, cost, and availability, then focus on the parts that need alternatives, supplier changes, or engineering attention.

    What happens if one of our components becomes unavailable?

    We look for suitable sourcing alternatives and, where necessary, alternative components. We still check a replacement against the PCB, firmware, performance, and any relevant certification requirements before adding it to the production BOM.

    Do you source only from China?

    No. We source across Asia and Europe. The right source depends on the component, availability, volume, quality requirements, lead time, and total landed cost.

    Do you inspect suppliers and factories in person?

    Yes, where the engagement requires it. Our Shenzhen-based quality engineer can visit suppliers and manufacturing partners before you commit, and follow up on issues on the ground during sourcing and production.
