WHAT FACTORS ARE CHECKED WHEN I APPLY TO BECOME A SUPPLIER?

◊ Production locations
◊ Range of services
◊ Technologies
◊ Equipment
◊ Quality management systems

HOW LONG DOES THE CHECK TAKE WHEN I APPLY TO BECOME A SUPPLIER?

We take sufficient time to ensure we build a high-calibre partner network. Please be patient while we check all the factors. As a rule, it takes about one week before you hear from us

Can I create several users?

Naturally, you can also create several users. Simply contact your customer support manager by email or via the chat function on the portal and we will be happy to create several users for one account.

I HAVEN’T RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL. WHY?

Maybe the email has landed in your spam folder? Or was there a typo in your email address? If neither of these reasons apply, please contact our support team.

WHY CAN’T I LOG IN AS A SUPPLIER?

Before you can become a member of our partner network, we first have to accredit you as a supplier. Cooperation in our network depends on various criteria.

HOW CAN I CHANGE FROM MY CUSTOMER TO MY SUPPLIER ACCOUNT?

To switch between accounts, you first need to log out of the active account and log in again to the account you want.

How can I cancel my account?

If you no longer wish to continue your account with us and want to cancel it, send your customer support manager a short email, or use the chat function on the portal to inform us. We will then delete your account.

INQUIRIES / OFFERS

CAN I RECEIVE OFFERS EVEN WITHOUT A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT?

For an offer, we need certain information which we request when you register an account. Therefore, you can only receive enquiries if you have a customer account.

How do I receive an offer?

You receive your offer in four short, easy steps:

  1. Register free in our customer portal.
  2. Complete the account and project data, then submit your enquiry.
  3. We examine your enquiry and, if we have any questions, we contact you immediately.
  4. You receive a suitable offer.
WHAT IS RELEVANT PROJECT DATA?

Relevant project data is all information necessary for optimal implementation of your component requirements. Please describe your criteria and requirements in your enquiry. Your description can also include drawings and 3D models, which you can upload directly to the project. You can find information about the permitted formats here.

HOW MANY OFFERS WILL I GET IN RESPONSE TO MY ENQUIRY?

For each enquiry, you will receive one offer which meets all the criteria and requirements in your enquiry.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I GET AN OFFER?

You can expect our offer after 3 days on average. If we have any questions, it can take a little longer until we have cleared up all the details. When you submit an enquiry, you can always specify the date by which you want to receive an offer. We will try to meet this date.

WHAT DOES “START NEW PROJECT” MEAN?

Under “Start new project”, you can input all the relevant project data we need for product manufacturing and submission of an offer. Then you will receive a suitable offer for your enquiry.

WHY CAN I ONLY SAVE THE PROJECT DATA AS A DRAFT AFTER ENTERING IT?

After the draft is saved, a project number is automatically generated. The next time you open the project, you can submit it.

AFTER 3 DAYS, I STILL HAVEN’T RECEIVED AN OFFER. WHY?

This means we are still in the checking phase or searching for the ideal manufacturing method. Naturally, we will keep you informed. If you have any questions in the meantime, you can at any time contact our support team or your dedicated personal contact.

WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS DURING THE PROJECT?

Please get in touch with your contact by email or phone.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I HAVE ACCEPTED AN OFFER?

After you have accepted an offer by issuing an order or sending us a message, you will receive an order confirmation from us by email, or the order confirmation will pop up directly on your dashboard. Now production can go ahead and you will receive your delivery on the agreed date.

WHAT ABOUT ADDITIONAL SERVICES?

If you have extra requirements for your assembly, simply let us know in the description.

For example:
a. Metal or 3D-printed parts
b. Surface treatment
c. Assembly (screws, joints, gluing,…)
d. Packaging tailored to your requirements
