Why consumer electronics sourcing struggles at scale
The consumer electronics sourcing value chain spans regions, manufacturing tiers, and stakeholders. Design changes are fragmented across procurement teams and suppliers without a single source of truth.
BOM cost management is broken
BOM cost management in consumer electronics is fragmented across Engineering, Procurement, and Product Design, leaving cost data outdated and inconsistent.
Design changes disrupt cost accuracy
Teams struggle to prompty and fully communicate design changes to suppliers, resulting in outdated costs and unclear impacts on lead times and commitments.
Complex multi-tiered supply chain processes require one system of record
Consumer electronics supply chains span Tier 1, Tier 2, and manufacturing partners, but teams struggle to operationalize project changes across this complexity, leading to outdated cost and delivery data.
The reason why we love LightSource so much is we have quarterly RFQs on our tail spend which is a tremendous amount of volume and vendors – it’s a huge number – and this platform allows us to conduct those with ease.

Maintain BOM cost accuracy across design and sourcing changes.
LightSource connects pricing, suppliers, and revisions in a single system of record as designs change and products evolve.
Automate BOM cost management.
LightSource can automatically ingest multiple cost sources including past contracts, active supplier quotes, and historical sourcing data. Each component reflects the most relevant pricing available, giving teams a real time view of true BOM cost.

Cost visibility made effortless.
LightSource allows for tracking of cost history across any level of the BOM, making it easy to spot inflection points, volatility, and trends as designs evolve.

Let AI dig into the weeds for you.
Teams can compare multiple revisions of a product directly. Changes to components, quantities, suppliers, or pricing are highlighted so teams can quickly understand the source of cost movement.
