Hardware Integration Simplified: Cofactr's Supply Chain Revolution
Accelerating hardware innovation through seamless supply chain automation
About Cofactr
Cofactr is bridging the gap between software agility and hardware manufacturing constraints through their innovative BOM to Build platform. Specifically designed for hardware innovators, Cofactr creates a seamless connection between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), empowering those who handle critical hardware manufacturing work. Their platform revolutionizes the technical hardware supply chain by making it precise, efficient, and effortlessly manageable.
Challenge
Each customer required custom-built integrations with their existing ERP, CAD, and inventory systems, a process that can take some time to implement. This delayed customer onboarding tied up valuable engineering resources that could have been focused on innovation. As manufacturing complexity increased, these integration bottlenecks became a critical barrier to scaling operations and meeting customer demands efficiently.

Approach
Leveraging an iPaaS solution with pre-built connectors, we helped change Cofactr's integration approach by automating workflows that previously required extensive engineering resources. Our implementation included self-service activation capabilities that empowered customers to manage their integration processes, while our standardized connection protocols ensured compatibility with major manufacturing systems in the electronics supply chain.
