Factor has made my team more productive and removed barriers to getting our product to market.
Factor helps you manage the procurement process for custom parts, first for prototypes and later at larger scale. They’re used by both small companies trying to make quick progress without a full operations team and by larger companies to take early-stage logistics off their engineers’ plates.
On Factor, you are in complete control of your data. From the moment you begin uploading your parts to Factor, all of your data is encrypted in transit and while it is stored on our servers. With our robust permissioning system, no person or machine can access your files or part information without your explicit approval. We will never share data with any third party that you are not working with to get your parts made.
Our standard Terms and Conditions include a robust NDA, so when you sign up for Factor you are automatically covered. To get the most out of Factor, you share sensitive information about your parts and manufacturers with us, and we take the responsibility of maintaining the utmost confidentiality seriously. We will never share information about your parts or your manufacturers unless you have explicitly authorized it.
Factor deploys for individuals in minutes, and for teams in about an hour. To set up one-click RFQs, we ingest your team's Approved Vendor List and ensure your manufacturer contact information is up to date. Our user interface is designed to be intuitive so that training is a breeze!
Factor is a San Francisco Bay Area and Boston-based startup. Our mission is to enable product designers and manufacturers around the world to build better hardware together.
