Case Study: IEC Electronics boosts supply chain efficiency and compliance with Accuris

IEC Electronics Defuses supply chain risk and boosts efficiency to gain competitive edge

IEC Electronics, a US-based leader in electronic manufacturing services, sought to mitigate supply chain risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and boost operational efficiency. The company faced challenges in managing its complex bill of materials, reducing turnaround times for RFPs, and meeting conflict minerals reporting requirements. To address this, they partnered with vendor Accuris.

Accuris implemented its BOM Intelligence, Parts Intelligence, and PCN Intelligence solutions with a Conflict Minerals module. This allowed IEC to automate manual processes, proactively monitor component lifecycles, and streamline compliance. The results were significant: RFP turnaround was slashed from two weeks to 72 hours, conflict minerals compliance was expedited by two months using 50% fewer resources, and processes were streamlined across six departments. Accuris enabled one staffer to do the work of five, providing a strong return on investment and establishing a new revenue stream from engineering redesign services.
