Question 7

What types of companies use Rototip’s services?

Accepted Answer

Startups: 
Startups need to act fast and avoid losing time on faulty production. These young companies do not have the supplier network they can trust while building their technology. Because these startups do not have the buying power due to small purchasing spend, they do not get the attention they would like from the qualified manufacturers.
Rototip offers them the reliability that were previously available to medium-to-large companies. With a single point of contact at Rototip, these startups keep the manufacturing work at Rototip so they can focus on bringing new products into the market.
Small businesses:
Small businesses have limited capacity to manage various vendors, compare prices, check the quality of components, optimize stocks, and follow payment schedules. Rototip offers solutions that address all these key aspects that ensure reliability, giving buyers and owners the headspace focus on profitability.
These businesses procure the majority of their custom metal and plastic parts from Rototip. They utilize blanket orders where they call off parts several times during the year, or place one-off orders every time there is a need for production or a prototype.
Medium businesses:
Medium businesses have strong supply chain management and good relationships with their key suppliers. What they often suffer from is the supply chain resilience as they depend heavily on a small number of vendors. Rototip offers an excellent back-up these businesses can utilize for a wide range of custom parts they would normally source from over 20 different suppliers, keeping Rototip central to client’s purchasing operations.
These businesses utilize their decade-old supply chain for 40% to 60% of their articles while utilising Rototip’s capabilities for the rest.
Large enterprises: 
Large enterprises suffer from having too many vendors in their ERP systems. Due to an unmanageably high number of suppliers, they cannot build connections with their suppliers.
By utilising Rototip’s strength in various manufacturing technologies, these enterprises decrease the need for an excessive number of suppliers, allowing them to focus on and build relationships with a few, select suppliers.
