Product
Problem
Industrial hardware development teams often face significant bottlenecks when sourcing components and suppliers, relying heavily on their existing networks and manual procurement processes. This limited search surface leads to longer lead times, higher costs, and missed opportunities to identify suppliers that can support customization, engineering changes, and scale-up from prototype to production.
Solution
Persimmon Systems provides a business-to-business software and workflow platform designed to remove hardware sourcing bottlenecks. The service expands the search surface across global supplier ecosystems, enabling teams to compare capability, cost, lead time, and fit. The platform manages the execution layer of procurement—including supplier follow-up, order management, document exchange, and delivery tracking—so teams can focus on engineering rather than logistics. By using Persimmon, teams report moving up to 4x faster and reducing sourcing costs by as much as 70% on qualified workstreams, with the ability to identify suppliers who can support engineering changes, customization, sampling, and scale-up.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering and procurement teams at industrial hardware companies developing products in energy systems, robotics, solar manufacturing, battery materials, and other hardware-intensive sectors who need to source and manage qualified suppliers efficiently.
