tl;dr: One of the most manual parts of the hardware supply chain is procurement logistics. Reframe makes getting your components painless and automated, exactly how it should be. Instead of spending precious engineering time manually tracking down parts or figuring out build schedules, Reframe takes over end-to-end procurement so hardware teams can stay lean. We coordinate with your vendors to automatically order your components, resolve any delays or component shortages, and ensure that your parts arrive on time.

👋 Hey everyone, Eric and Bryan are from Reframe (W26) and we’re bringing automation to the hardware supply chain.

Specifically, we’re starting with procurement. Designing components is just half the battle when it comes to making physical products. After an engineer finishes designing the parts, they then have to figure out the right people to source their parts and navigate through the logistics of payment, shipping, and delivery.

Right now, most procurement teams at large enterprises, medium stage companies, and early start-ups are still using emails, spreadsheets, and WeChat to manage billions of dollars of components that need to be shipped from all over the world. It’s an archaic process that is unfortunately part of either a start-up engineer’s job or costs a full-time role at larger companies.

Our solution automates away all of the tedious work behind getting your parts delivered on time. We take your BOM as input, and track down each part in their individual supply chain, from the raw material vendor all the way to the assembly line. Whether it’s as simple as placing an Amazon order, or coordinating with an overseas manufacturer to fabricate parts and ship them across the world, our AI agents handle all the communication, coordination, and logistics.

When parts are delayed, or when specs change, the Reframe Assistant dynamically update the BOM and build plans to provide clarity and transparency between different teams. When there is a part change that creates conflict between teams, Reframe creates a group chat between the relevant stakeholders and provides them with context to make fast decisions.

Our native integration with Slack ensures that Reframe exists where you are. Simply tag the Reframe Assistant in the relevant thread or channel, and it will answer questions about your parts without you having to go through giant spreadsheets or emails.
