Lytica Inc.

Lytica, a leading Supply Chain Analytics and Operations company is the creator of ‘FreeBenchmarking.com’ (FBDC), the world’s largest database of true electronic component pricing. As opposed to prices in the public domain - like distribution prices, supplier column pricing or pricing from Internet aggregators - FBDC is comprised of real pricing uploaded from real customers. These progressive clients are bringing the rigorous discipline of benchmarking to component costing – much as they've applied benchmarking to other operational areas over the years. Within a few days, FBDC identifies component cost outliers (or the most unfairly priced items) and provides line item detail that is immediately actionable. Predicted savings are typically in the $000,000s and $millions of dollars and customers report a high level of cost reduction success. Lytica's free BENCHMARK REPORT allows customers to scope out potential overall savings by commodity. Derivative products of this disruptive FBDC technology include ComponentCostEstimator (CCE) - a web enabled tool that allows Program Managers, Designers and Purchasers to better estimate what component costing should be. Lytica’s M&A Synergy Savings Report identifies component economies of scale during the 'pre-merger' phase and for the post-merger integration phase, the report has already identified the largest component & commodity savings opportunities. Clients' combined SCM team can then move quickly and precisely. Founded in 2005, the Lytica team are seasoned professionals consisting of: supply chain; procurement; component and; software experts who have years of experience with some of the most successful companies in the industry. Lytica also provides Services and Consulting centred around helping electronics companies build more competitive and robust sources of supply. Lytica has helped deliver unprecedented levels of cost reduction performance to many of the industry's leading OEM and EMS companies.
