Don’t Get Lost in the Maze of Parts, Platforms, and People

Today's manufacturers are overwhelmed by bloated catalogs, overloaded vendor systems, and internal teams lacking in-depth product knowledge—from fasteners to fuses

We build Digital FAEs—AI-powered fastener engineers that guide design and sourcing teams to the best solution—faster, smarter, and with zero guesswork.

Why a Digital FAE™ (Fastener Application Engineer) Matters

  • Capture qualified leads in real-time when buyers search for torque specs, fastener fit, or joint design help
  • Train new engineers, reps, and distributors to become product experts—without a single PDF
  • Promote standard parts and avoid BOM bloat, duplicate SKUs, and one-off assemblies
  • Guide engineers with real-world filters: shear strength, sealing, host material compatibility, torque risks, and more

THE COST OF NO ANSWERS

Vendors are losing $$$
Not knowing what you already make costs you. It clogs your BOM, stalls decisions, and leaves money on the table.
Average vendor annual sales loss:
  • $10 million in one-off parts created
  • $8 million lost due to slow response time
  • $5 million lost to a lack of distributor product knowledge
Our digital FAE turns tribal knowledge into 24/7 support
Train engineers and sales reps instantly on what works (and what doesn’t)
Equip buyers, designers, and distributors to get the right part in 3 clicks

HOW OUR DIGITAL ENGINEER WORKS

Part Finder
  • FES-FindingIt™ is a part finder that creates one data set for all your brands, divisions, and PLM/ERP solutions with every detail from dimensions to material.
  • Our system enriches each item with dimensional, performance, and application metadata
Digital Brand Expert
  • We don’t ask what you want, but rather what you are trying to do in your application?
  • Engineers enter real-world requirements (e.g., watertight, high shear, plastic-to-metal, etc.)
Complete Solutions
  • FES.ai finds matches, flags design risks, and recommends optimal fasteners, clips, installation methods, seal types, and much more.
  • We match your needs with what you stock today, and make sure that each department signs off from assembly to QC.
Your PLM tells you what you have. Our Digital FAE tells you what you should use —and why.

Key Features

  • Smart Search: Search by what you need to do—"ground a bracket to aluminum," "seal out water at 5 Nm torque," or "lock without Loctite." Our Digital FAE™ finds the fasteners or inserts that match.
  • Collaboration Hub: Replace tribal spreadsheets with a searchable workspace where engineering, sourcing, and vendors view the same fastener, clip, or torque constraint.
  • Engineering Truth Tables: We work with your SMEs to define where each rivet, stud, or bracket clip fits—or fails. Grip range, torque thresholds, and galvanic risk—captured and automated.
  • Part Matching Engine: Spot duplicates across BOMs. Our AI flags when your team specs a new part that already exists under a different supplier or brand name.

Customized Part Lists or Datasets

Every AI tool promises the moon —but if your part list sucks, it’s all for naught.
From legacy OEMs to fastener vendors, everyone shares the same problem: fragmented, incomplete data scattered across ERPs, spreadsheets, and PLMs. We unify it.
We build one unified dataset that:
  • Captures every part from every division.
  • Adds all the missing attributes engineers need (length, flange, finish, torque, sealing, etc.)
  • Flags application requirements like shear strength, watertight joints, or backside reinforcement.
  • Includes pro-tips, design warnings, and install tools.
  • Captures every part from every division.
This is the engine behind your Digital FAE—and the foundation for more innovative sourcing, training, quoting, and standardization.
