How AI could help us prevent the next global supply chain crisis
Flex companies
More than ever, it is important to have a trusted, resilient global supply chain network. In a rapidly changing environment, resiliency is essential for bringing products to life – and to our customers around the world.
We know we could not do all the things we do to design and manufacture products without your trust, collaboration and commitment. You help us source the components needed to bring innovative products to market and respond to our customers’ regional and global needs.
Together, we will continue to capture new opportunities and create products that improve the world.
We strive to make working with Flex as simple and valuable as possible for our suppliers. Because the better we collaborate, the more effectively we can serve our mutual customers. Find the tools and resources you need and learn more about our solutions.
Flex is committed to increasing our customers’ competitiveness by building faster and more cost-efficient supply chains. To this end, we’ve launched a global initiative aimed at increasing supply chain visibility and collaboration with all of our partners by offering ecommerce, electronic data, and e-sourcing solutions.
We use state-of-the-art sourcing tools in collaboration with Ivalua for both direct and indirect material sourcing.
E-sourcing uses Flex e-Auction software to provide an online collaborative forum for Flex and our suppliers. Our Global Commodity Management team uses this tool for the selection of the most competitive prices through electronic auctions.
E-sourcing facilitates both indirect and direct materials purchases and offers many advantages and opportunities for the current supply base, as well as opportunities for competitive companies to become suppliers to Flex.
Our COVID-19 response focuses on keeping people safe — including our employees, suppliers and business partners. With all safety measures in place in accordance with governments around the world, we are continuing to manufacture as permitted. Please reach out to your Flex contact for more information.
We are especially proud that we are manufacturing critical products to aid the global response. Working together, we are delivering remarkable results in these challenging times.
Thank you for your continued collaboration to keep everyone healthy.
