Case Study: Large Texas Energy Company achieves reduced inventory costs and faster design iterations with MacroFab

Houston Energy Company Cuts Inventory Costs, Reduces Design Iteration Time with MacroFab

Large Texas Energy Company, a provider of land completion services, operations solutions, and oilfield technologies, faced long design cycles, opaque order fulfillment, and supply‑chain delays with an overseas electronics manufacturer. Time‑zone and language barriers meant weeks of iteration and higher inventory holdings to hedge against slow deliveries. The company switched to MacroFab’s PCB and electronics manufacturing platform and online portal to find a digital‑first, North American‑focused alternative.

MacroFab evaluated the company’s needs, shifted production to a Mexico‑based facility within its vetted network, and gave engineers a collaborative portal to upload designs, get real‑time feedback, source components, and track orders. As a result, MacroFab helped the Large Texas Energy Company cut inventory costs, shorten iteration time from three months to seven weeks (including delivery), improve order visibility and change control, and position the business to scale to hundreds of thousands of units.
