The introduction layer for industrial sourcing
XPND keeps the requirement, the answers and the decision in one place. So you can reach a company you have never worked with, get a proper read on whether it can be trusted, and still have something to stand behind the choice later.
How an introduction is made
Five steps-
01 PostedSay what you need, without your name on it
The post carries the problem. It does not carry you. ConvergX alone holds the name behind it.
-
02 AnsweredThree ways for the room to answer
Participate, Feedback or Partnership. A member answers the requirement without being told whose it is.
-
03 Read
Nobody meets until there is something to meet about
One requirement goes in and member companies answer. ConvergX and its tooling read every answer before any of it reaches the other side, so the two sides meet when there is a real opportunity between them, and not before.
-
04 Decided
The review ends in a decision
ConvergX asks the questions rather than checking a record. What comes out is a call: introduced, or not taken forward.
-
05 IntroducedThe introduction is arranged for you
When both sides are ready, ConvergX makes the introduction: a meeting with the curated group the requirement calls for, or the technology brought to you directly. The alert itself carries no content, so nothing about a requirement leaves the platform.
No open registration and no account to create. Access is decided one request at a time.
Two ways in
AccessRequest access
For an organisation with a requirement its own supply base cannot fill. Tell ConvergX what you need solved and which industries you already source from. A person reads it and decides what belongs in front of it.
I have a capabilityApply to join
For a company with a capability already in service. Tell ConvergX what you have built and where it runs. The sector it was built for does not matter, and there is no open registration to work around.
