Program FAQ

Everything you need to know before applying for the Strategic Partnership Program.

What are the eligibility requirements?
+
Companies must demonstrate a minimum annual manufacturing spend of $50,000, maintain consistent quality standards (ISO 9001 or equivalent), and commit to a 12-month partnership term. Volume forecasts and engineering documentation streamline approval.
Can I change tiers after onboarding?
+
Yes. Tiers are reassessed quarterly based on actual production volume. Upgrades take effect immediately, while downgrades are processed at the start of the next billing cycle with no penalties.
How does the dedicated engineering team work?
+
Premier and Strategic partners receive a named program manager and a cross-functional engineering pod. They handle DFM reviews, tolerance optimization, and rapid prototyping, reducing back-and-forth communication by up to 70%.
Is there a long-term contract required?
+
The program operates on a rolling 12-month commitment to ensure capacity planning accuracy. After the initial term, it automatically converts to a month-to-month agreement with all negotiated rates preserved.
What happens if I miss my volume target?
+
We understand manufacturing forecasts fluctuate. Partners enjoy a 15% buffer below their committed volume without tier reduction or penalty. Consistent misses trigger a collaborative review to adjust targets or workflows.
