:pushpin: Understanding Procurement Stages at Daviteq

(Nội dung tiếng Việt tại đây)

Welcome to Daviteq Suppliers Hub!
As a technology-focused company specializing in IoT sensors, wireless gateways, and industrial automation solutions, our product development and procurement process is multi-phased and research-intensive.

To collaborate effectively, it’s essential for our suppliers to understand which stage a purchasing need is in — this helps you respond with the right level of detail, timing, and solution.

:compass: Why You Should Know the Procurement Stage?

  • Understand why we’re asking for certain information.
  • Know whether the request is urgent, or part of early exploration.
  • Avoid overcommitting in R&D phases or under-supporting mass production.
  • Help build a long-term, structured relationship.

:vertical_traffic_light: Daviteq’s 7 Procurement Stages

We tag each request with a stage to help you identify how to respond. Here’s a breakdown:

1. stage:idea-exploration

Purpose: Explore new ideas, materials, or components.
What you should do:

  • Share your latest technologies, catalogs, or case studies.
  • Suggest creative or alternative solutions.
  • No quotation or commitment is required.

2. stage:technology-research

Purpose: Evaluate possible technical approaches.
What you should do:

  • Send datasheets, technical specs, or application notes.
  • Provide indicative pricing or lead times if available.
  • Recommend similar solutions you’ve seen in the industry.

3. stage:feasibility-study

Purpose: Compare and select optimal suppliers/solutions.
What you should do:

  • Provide samples, prototype quotations, and references.
  • Answer in-depth technical and commercial questions.
  • Be responsive – this phase is short but critical.

4. stage:prototype-development

Purpose: Build initial working units for evaluation.
What you should do:

  • Confirm you can deliver parts quickly.
  • Ensure quality consistency for testing.
  • Be ready for design iterations or rapid feedback.

5. stage:pilot-production

Purpose: Run limited production for validation.
What you should do:

  • Commit to schedule and QC for short runs.
  • Document changes or challenges openly.
  • Start aligning on long-term capacity and pricing.

6. stage:mass-production

Purpose: Enter full-scale manufacturing.
What you should do:

  • Ensure readiness for high-volume, repeated orders.
  • Provide stable pricing, lead time, and logistics planning.
  • Maintain strong quality and after-sales support.

7. stage:sustaining-support

Purpose: Support ongoing production and improvements.
What you should do:

  • Supply spare parts or replacements.

  • Offer insights on lifecycle, obsolescence, or warranty.
