More leading organizations across key sectors such as aerospace & defense, automotive, and medical are waking up to the need for real-time intelligence and digital threads

Supplyframe today announced a successful 2025, during which the company attracted more than a dozen new businesses and strategic partners and onboarded approximately 40 global customers across its software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. This highlights a major shift for global manufacturing leaders, particularly in aerospace & defense, automotive, consumer products, and hyperscalers, toward digital maturity, market-driven sourcing, and a focus on design for supply chain and resilience.

Supplyframe’s new customers include global industry leaders in the aerospace, automotive, EMS, and medical sectors. Recent customers have both achieved significant savings and mitigated risk with Supplyframe solutions, which provide supply chain intelligence to drive resiliency and competitiveness across the digital thread from engineering through supply chain.

• Global Manufacturing Leader in Industrial Automation
  • Achieved 1-2% cost savings annually. Given this enterprise’s revenue exceeds $40 billion, that’s a significant boost to the company’s bottom line.
  • Adopted a new approach to electronics supply chain risk by using Supplyframe’s Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) to identify high-risk or high-cost parts and proactively redesign products to ensure their long-term sourcing and profitability.
• Global Aerospace & Defense Technology Provider
  • Embraced Supplyframe’s DSI solutions to transform risk visibility across its ongoing programs. By injecting key insights into pre-existing part libraries, the company can now make more informed decisions throughout multi-decade product lifecycles.
  • Addressed the ongoing issue of counterfeit electronics components in the supply chain by working directly with Supplyframe’s list of registered vendors.

“The noise stopped, and the signal got loud in fiscal year 2025, when the need for better intelligence, awareness, and transformational solutions reached critical mass,” said Supplyframe Vice President of Global Sales Michel Van Cotthem. “Leading businesses are employing Supplyframe to design smarter, build business resilience, and protect margins. That’s crucial in a rapidly changing world. Resiliency is not a cost center; it’s a competitive advantage.”

In parallel with its enterprise SaaS momentum, Supplyframe also expanded the reach, scale, and strategic value of its Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) Network in 2025. More than 12 million engineering and procurement professionals now engage across Supplyframe’s search engines, media properties, marketplaces, and SaaS solutions—a record level of activity that reflects accelerating digital transformation across the global electronics industry. The company’s acquisition of Wevolver earlier this year further enriched the DSI ecosystem with a fast-growing community of design engineers, bringing upstream innovation, expert content, and deeper design-intent signals into the Supplyframe platform. This integration is already strengthening Commodity IQ’s forecasting models and enabling new pathways for customers to identify emerging risks, accelerate innovation, and design more resilient products from the start.

The company also expanded the breadth and sophistication of its Commodity IQ insights throughout 2025, providing early visibility into shifting supply, demand, pricing, and lead-time patterns that will shape global electronics markets into 2026. Between January and October, global design activity has increased 16% compared to 2024, while sourcing activity decreased by 2%. These metrics indicate stability and match seasonal trends observed prior to the 2020 pandemic, which acts as Supplyframe’s baseline. New indices and forward-looking models—reflecting geopolitical dynamics, semiconductor capacity investments, and structural changes in passive and power component markets—have become essential resources for supply chain, sourcing, and engineering teams navigating persistent volatility. In addition, Supplyframe deepened its partnership with Orbweaver to streamline real-time quoting, supplier collaboration, and secure data exchange. This strengthened partner ecosystem is helping enterprises turn intelligence into action by enabling faster, more connected processes across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and supplier networks.

At the same time, AI is becoming a major player in strategic procurement, and Supplyframe is focused on transforming it from hype to habit. This shift is non-negotiable for businesses; given the current constraints with overworked teams and siloed organizational design, the next-generation capabilities will include deeper collaboration across humans and agents, and Supplyframe’s highest-performing customers are well-positioned to take advantage of emerging AI technologies.

“Our 2025 strategic wins, and the fact that customer conversations are often beginning at the C-suite level, illustrate that competitive organizations now understand the power of real-time intelligence, digital maturity, and connecting people and processes across the product lifecycle to drive results,” said Supplyframe CEO Steve Flagg. “With Siemens, we are connecting the dots in the digital thread, both right and left. In 2026, we will continue to partner with organizations in the A&D, automotive, and EMS spaces, where a growing number of manufacturers are becoming aware of the need for real-time intelligence and insights to make better decisions.”
