Problem
Manufacturers of metal components often struggle with inefficient global sourcing processes, relying on outdated methods like spreadsheets and emails. This can lead to difficulties in managing complex RFQs, maintaining supplier quality, and ensuring real-time incident reporting, ultimately increasing labor costs and hindering lean manufacturing operations.

MESH facilitates the discovery of pre-qualified suppliers through in-person audits covering manufacturing, engineering, quality, and logistics. By digitizing the APQP process and offering incident management tools with digital 8D & CAPA, MESH enhances collaboration between buyers and suppliers, reduces component costs, and improves overall efficiency in the sourcing and procurement process.
