Electronics Procurement Software for Component Volatility
Approved-source control, change notification and alternate sourcing that runs at the speed of an allocation event.
It starts here
The notification is raised against the component and every product and entity that uses it.

What a request has to carry. Before anything can progress.
The supplier submits a change notification
What happens
The notification is raised against the component and every product and entity that uses it.
Approved-source governance
Which suppliers and part numbers are approved, for which products and entities, with substitution requiring an authorised decision.
Assessment is routed by risk and product impact
What happens
Procurement, engineering and quality owners are assigned according to the change class.
Component lifecycle awareness
Change and end-of-life notifications routed to procurement, engineering and quality for assessment rather than filed in an inbox.
Engineering and quality assess the change
What happens
Acceptance, conditional acceptance or rejection, and any re-qualification required.
Material documentation workflows
You can configure collection and validity tracking for substance and material declarations associated with requirements such as RoHS and REACH, where your programme defines them.
The workflows this changes. Each one governed the same way.
-
01
Sourcing & RFx
Rapid component events restricted to approved and qualified sources.
-
02
Supplier management
Documentation validity and qualification across a large global supply base.
-
03
Supplier portal
One place for global suppliers to submit documents and respond to events.
-
04
NOVA intelligence
Answers component, supplier and spend questions at the speed decisions are made.
Qualification and approved-source update are approved
What happens
Quality and engineering approve the alternate for specified products and entities.
Every workflow above runs the same governed sequence. This is where it stops for a person.
See exactly where it runs. And exactly where it stops for you.
Component change notification to an approved alternate source. A supplier notifies a process change on a component used across two product families.
-
Trigger
The supplier submits a change notification
The full exposure is known immediately.
-
Rule
Assessment is routed by risk and product impact
The right people see it before the change takes effect.
-
Human
Engineering and quality assess the change
Uncontrolled component change is prevented.
-
Agent
Where an alternate is needed, sourcing runs immediately
Alternate sourcing keeps pace with the availability window.
-
Human
Qualification and approved-source update are approved
The alternate becomes usable without an informal workaround.
-
Record
Approved-source data and purchasing reflect the decision
Change is absorbed without losing traceability.

Seen enough?
See a consumer electronics workflow of your own run end to end, with your supplier requirements applied.
Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. The assessment asks for no email.
Answer “who approved this, and why” in seconds. Not in weeks.
Routing agent
- Classify a request
- Permitted
- Request missing data
- Permitted
- Select buying route
- Permitted
- Approve above band
- Not permitted
Allowed actions
You list what each agent may do, and the most it can spend. You set both for every business unit.
Checkpoints that cannot be bypassed
Important decisions return to the people your policy names, and no configuration removes them.
Reconstructable
- Original request text
- Retained
- Rule that fired
- CAT-DRV-02
- Approvals and approvers
- Recorded
- Purchase order
- Written to ERP
You can pull the trail for any order, without reading a mailbox
Evidence without a separate tracker
Every action is attributed to an actor and the permission that allowed it, you can pull the trail for any order.
What stays with your people. Every one of these.
Decision 01
Engineering and quality assessment of a component or process change.
Decision 02
Approval of an alternate source and its approval scope.
Decision 03
Any substitution outside the approved-source list.
Decision 04
Acceptance of supplier material or substance documentation.

Bring a real consumer electronics workflow. Not a vendor scenario.
One of your own processes, including the part that usually goes wrong. You will see where the agents act, where the platform stops, and what it leaves on the record.
Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. If we are not a fit we will say so on the first call.
Not ready to talk to anyone?
Fair enough. Both of these work without giving us your email.
