Start Early, Start Domestic.

Prototyping, building, assembling, and distributing your new product takes a partner with expertise and experience – throughout the value chain. If you're a start-up hardware company, an engineering product or design firm, or an established OEM with an innovative new product, starting right, producing right, and delivering right is key to launch success. And now more than ever, getting it right means keeping as much or all the steps in the value chain domestic.

Early in the product life cycle is where all proof of concept and manufacturing should occur. At this stage it's all about reducing risk by laying bare all possible design, engineering, manufacturing and supply challenges and at the same time maximizing efficiencies. As many start-ups and emerging companies have discovered, language barriers, cultural differences and time zone constraints make this complex refinement nearly impossible.

Once the start-up challenges have been overcome, sustaining production to keep cash flow positive can be a real hurdle. Few, if any CM’s can help with all the steps in the value chain, but RelianceCM helps its clients from value engineering, assembly, through storing and distribution – what’s known as 3PL (third-party logistics). This comprehensive approach to our clients needs provides value that helps sustain product launches in a manner otherwise impossible to achieve.

With a successful start and sustainability achieved, the opportunity for scale can be pursued. This is where RelianceCM’s comprehensive approach including 3PL services can unlock value for our clients to achieve results.

What is RelianceCM 3PL?

Our 3PL service is offered exclusively as a companion service to our existing clients. RelianceCM is a leader in integrated manufacturing. Our 3PL services are an extension of that integration providing expertise to the ever-changing market demands placed upon our clients. Our 3PL service includes warehousing and distribution solutions which can be offered with on-line platforms that provide real-time data on the status of your product, simplifying logistics and reducing overhead costs. An organization that needs just one person managing their logistics operation will save money with RelianceCM 3PL. We also offer customizable, and industry-exclusive financing options enabling our clients to scale without the typical overhead costs associated with building a logistics operation.

Nothing's bolted to the floor.

We’ve pioneered an infrastructure that affords you a smooth transition from initial concept to volume production by using flexible assembly and testing processes. These processes accommodate low introductory volumes and then scale rapidly without disruption. The scalable approach allows RelianceCM the ability to draw from our partnerships with various engineers and fabricators to match your changing needs. For product innovators, RelianceCM is the domestic contract manufacturer that invests itself in your success just like you do. Its expertise, experience, and capabilities are the most robust on the West Coast and can bring your product from prototype to large-scale production, all with a high-touch relationship.
