What Photon Gateway Does
Photon Gateway manages photonics procurement from initial input through to coordinated delivery.
You can send a single component, a parts list or experimental requirements. We take that input, align suppliers and deliver a complete set of components ready for build.
This removes the need to manage multiple suppliers, reconcile fragmented quotations and resolve misaligned delivery times.
- Define parts lists and quotes: creation of quotes for your approval
- Coordinate specialist suppliers: Identify capable suppliers and ensure contracts, payments, and delivery terms work seamlessly
- Align with your procurement processes: We manage the commercial pathway using your company’s system so internal teams and compliance requirements are satisfied
- Manage ordering and delivery across suppliers
The result is a fully coordinated set of components delivered to your lab, ready for assembly.
