For factories and manufacturers
Moving an order to Vietnam or Mexico is never a single decision. A new production line, a tender notice, a procurement hire, a supplier switch — the traces are public. AuroSignal collects them each working day and tells you who is likely to buy and why now.
From signal to action
A new line usually has a 6–12 month supplier import window. A factory hiring process engineers is still building, which means the mould and component suppliers are probably not locked in yet. Signals surface that window while it is open, instead of after the order has been placed.
Pre-tender is the only stretch where technical requirements can still move. Once bids open, the decision is price and you may not be the cheapest. Each tender signal carries the owner, the scope, the specification and the deadline, with the source document attached.
During a "China plus one" transition the order still has to be produced somewhere, and that interim is time you can use. Signals show the new plant, the ramp-up plan and the local hiring, so you can argue for a transition supply agreement rather than waiting to be replaced.
A workflow in practice
A mid-size appliance brand is staffing a new line in Saxony and hiring a process engineer for injection-moulded parts.
The job posting names the line, the part family and the supplier-development experience required. Matching import codes changed over the same period.
Hiring a process engineer means the line is still being built, so the mould and mouldings suppliers are unlikely to be fixed. That is the window, not the order itself.
Lead with comparable production cases and capacity for a new line. Save the quote for the stage where the buyer is comparing suppliers.
Illustrative example built from public sources. Signals do not guarantee a reply or an order. Product pages describe tasks you organise yourself; there is no customs or freight-tracking feature.
The practical details
Relationships close the deal; a signal tells you which week to knock. Even a long-standing account leaves traces before it reduces an order, and knowing 60 days early is a different position from finding out after the quarter closes.
Signals are organised by product category and target market, so you choose the categories you actually make. When a period does not clear our bar we say so rather than padding the list.
Entries are meant to be read in about ten minutes, and the matched signals arrive in your own workspace rather than as a shared feed. The number delivered over the first year is agreed when you start.
