Why Did Rakon Choose Z2Data?
Rakon, a global leader in frequency control products and timing solutions, needed a solution to streamline their component selection and improve product quality control. As the company expanded and acquired new businesses, they faced challenges in merging internal part numbers and managing component sourcing across multiple locations.
To tackle this, Rakon’s CEO, Dr. Sinan Altug, and Program Delivery Manager Nicole Lie recognized the need for a global strategy for component management. After evaluating options, Rakon chose Z2Data for its ability to classify components, eliminate redundancies, and manage sourcing effectively.
With Z2Data, Rakon was able to consolidate data, optimize their component selection process, and ensure compliance with industry standards. The tool also supported Rakon during industry-wide shortages caused by the Covid pandemic, helping them maintain manufacturing timelines. As Nicole Lie shared, “A database like Z2Data was exactly what we needed to access real-time component data, availability, lead times, and compliance information from a single source.”
The result? Streamlined component selection, improved quality assurance, and increased purchasing power.
