GRAD4 offers, as a complement to the main matchmaking service on its platform, a production management service, payment management, as well as a design service.
Production Management
The manufacturing process of a product requires several steps and involves many actors, several points of contact and a lot of technical communications. When a company wishes to outsource a project without the appropriate engineering skills or the time to manage canvassing, it leads to a loss in time, money, and efficiency.

“We did not have an internal designer and our usual subcontractor was closed for the holidays. GRAD4 understood our needs, designed the drawings for us, and found the best suppliers at the time, all of which in record time!”
Real life experience using the service by a GRAD4 user
- During the construction holidays, Composite Air Design approached GRAD4 since their usual supplier was unavailable.
- They had an urgent need to produce parts in addition to designing technical drawings for the parts.
- GRAD4 took care of designing the technical drawings and found two open suppliers that can produce the parts. One is less expensive, while the other is faster.
- GRAD4 presented them with the choices and, since their needs were urgent, they chose the faster one.
- Their welded assemblies were delivered on time and they were so happy with the result that they decide to produce the same parts for an order four times larger, one week later.
