Case Study: 20% Cost Reduction Across $13.5M of PCBA Spend

The situation

An electronics manufacturer asked us to review 60 printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) representing $13.5M in annual spend. Pricing had crept for years across a fragmented supplier base, and the client had limited visibility into whether their incumbent rates reflected the market.

What we did

We ran our dynamic bidding process across our vetted network of contract manufacturers, benchmarking every assembly line-by-line. Alongside pricing, we assessed each incumbent for financial and operational risk, and designed a dual-sourcing strategy covering the top 80% of spend.

The results

A 20% sustainable cost reduction — over $2.7M per year on the exact same assemblies, built to the same specifications. The client also exited several high-risk vendors and gained a qualified second source for every major assembly, converting a cost project into a resilience upgrade.

What it means for you

If your PCBA or component spend hasn't been competitively benchmarked in the last 24 months, there is a meaningful probability you're overpaying.
