US-Based Space Technology Company Expands Current Engagement with aPriori

Expanded engagement will enable the first phase of automation/integration of aPriori across the customer’s product development.

This customer engagement, with a mission of revolutionizing space exploration and the utilization of space resources, proves that when you offer product value, strong ROI, and exceptional service, there’s a good chance that the engagement will extend to other areas of the organization.

For the past nine months, the customer has expanded its use of aPriori several times. Starting with their cost engineering group, the engagement has now moved to delivering value to the Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Design Engineering verticals.

The company saw the value in our automated analysis solution to ensure all facets of product development could leverage aPriori’s manufacturing insights. As a result of the company’s decision to fully integrate aPriori where appropriate, they decided, in April, to acquire 100% of our manufacturing models to maximize their analysis coverage.

The intent is to proactively classify parts to influence the make vs buy decision and determine where to purchase if necessary. Having a mechanistic approach to assigning commodity codes to their parts and products will yield increased consistency and predictability relative to lead times and selecting ideal suppliers.

Currently, the company has greenlighted full access to our solutions across their enterprise by the first half of this year.
